💥BREAKING: "He should recommit to wealth creation and economic growth as the number one priority of this new administration. Whether a policy will create wealth and deliver economic growth should be the test of every decision he makes in office." - Our Chairman @ShankerASingham on @JohnHealey_MP's appointment as Chancellor👇

@MarioNawfal That was Starmer's policy no?

Few people know that Greater Manchester Police's crime stats are excluded from the national police data and have been since 2019, when GMP installed a new computer system that doesn't work.

Andy Burnham, as Mayor, was Police and Crime Commissioner 2017-26. Still not fixed.

Funny how on the new Left,
- ‘Hope Not Hate’ is in fact a purveyor of hate
- ‘Liberal’ really means illiberal, often frighteningly so
- the ‘anti-fascists’ are strikingly similar in outlook and methods to the actual fascists
- the ‘anti-racists’ turn out to be more obsessed with race and more racist than any generation since the 1930s, especially when it comes to Asians, Jews and whites
- ‘Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion’ really means no diversity at all, rather strict uniformity of ideas, and the forceful exclusion of dissenters
- ‘Safe spaces’ are very unsafe spaces for anyone expressing any kind of open inquiry or challenging idea
- ‘pro-science’ says men can have periods and women can have penises.
It’s exactly as Orwell said it.
The Left has truly lost its way.

Having just read the (hastily deleted) Hope Not Hate page on Ann Widdecombe, which is itself a diatribe of hate and intolerance, I despair that members involved in that outfit should be anywhere near government.

Billionaires are not taking £12bn in PIP payments.

Billionaires are not taking £10bn in UC payments.

Billionaires are not living in social housing, costing £8bn.

Billionaires are not put up in hotels, costing £2.1bn.

Billionaires are not the problem.

This is completely the wrong approach. All evidence points to pen and paper being the best for learning and retaining information. Driving exams to be digital will just push more learning in schools onto screens, which we know is not good for children’s learning or health.

@peterkyle Excellent. Great allies and great friends. Free to choose our own agreements.

This is the most significant services trade deal the UK has ever negotiated.

[Marcus Fysh @MarcusFysh]

If everyone took a minute this Sunday morning to reflect on their place in eternity and what we do in this life, Ann Widdecombe would be proud.

Whether in faith or in thoughtfulness no matter

Thank you Ann for your support and kindness and resolution to speak up, plainly.

[Crewkerne Gazette @CrewkerneGaz]

As we pause the satire to remember Ann Widdecombe, this 2011 interview on Graham Norton captures her remarkable optimism and zest for life. She knew we only get one life and believed in making the most of every opportunity. Her example is one we can all carry with us.

[Crewkerne Gazette @CrewkerneGaz]

For the next two days, we will pause our satire and share clips celebrating Ann Widdecombe’s greatest moments. Ann was a fearless champion of free speech, and her words feel more relevant than ever.

Please join us in paying tribute to her.

"I'm leaving this platform because I said male sex offenders should be placed in female prisons and people keep reminding me."

[David Frost @DavidGHFrost]

I can tell Lisa Nandy that, when I was doing the Brexit negotiations, I got waves of disagreement & often abuse on this platform in its pre-Elon form (and I still do to some extent).

I don't complain. There's a mute button for the worst. It's the price of also reaching lots of people.

Lisa Nandy needs to toughen up a bit. She also needs to remember she is a Secretary of State who should be using all relevant channels to communicate.

See also the Hawke and Keating labour, industrial and monetary deregulation in Australia which unlocked decades of strong productivity growth.
This is the clever labour way @andyburnham @andyburnhamHQ
Use political capital to do the right not the wrong thing

[CapX @CapX]

One of the most sweeping market reforms in the democratic world was not the work of Margaret Thatcher or Ronald Reagan.

In 1984, New Zealand elected a Labour government facing a run on the currency and an economy strangled by controls that successive governments had built to protect workers.

Its finance minister, Roger Douglas, decided that if the state could not direct growth, it had to stop pretending it could. So, Labour let the market back in, stripping out regulation, opening the country to trade, cutting subsidies and eventually selling the state’s trading arms. It did not betray Labour’s ends; it pursued them by means that could deliver them.

The lesson for @andyburnham is not to copy the antipodean programmes. It is to recover the seriousness beneath them: find what is strangling the country and remove it, while carrying people with you rather than ambushing them.

@latikambourke In what sense is it a good start?
