Chagos chaos latest - Labour defence minister @LukePollard was asked on @TimesRadio if spending £35bn of taxpayers money is a “good use” of the defence budget.

His answer: ‘it is’.

Truly extraordinary.

The Chagos Deal does not ‘secure the base’. It methodically destroys every element required for operations. The text and annexes state it will:
❌Constrain future Ops and use of the base
❌Prevent the placing of sensors and other maritime installations
❌Require us to sight our foes on defence planning
❌Mean we’re unable to use our preferred contractors
❌See us lose of control over electromagnetic spectrum.
Please read the ruddy thing!

The absurdity of the Mansion Tax is exquisite.

It has nothing to do with taxing exuberance.

It’s an envy tax attaching hard working families struggling with London’s housing market, after decades of mass migration.

Why has @andyburnham continued the Starmer betrayal of British citizens ?The Diego Garcia base is secure.Mauritius is a friend of China. No logic to this other than the UK Gov wont stand up to an advisory UN committee So if a UN committee says Falklands is Argentinian? Do we just roll over?

[Francis Loveday | Author: Our Two Democracies @LovedayWrites]

This is NOT A MANSION.

(Because it’s not in London).

Mansion Tax is a ‘Southern England Tax’.

Andy Burnham hates London.

Do you see it yet?

[Luke Mathers @mathersTL95]

Treating London and Manchester as rivals is absurd https://t.co/Z1mkFSdwbX

[Kemi Badenoch @KemiBadenoch]

Why can’t Andy Burnham do “everything possible” to bring down the cost of welfare, or do “everything possible” to fund defence properly?

Why is giving away this territory such a priority for Labour that they are willing to give away billions to do so when there’s little money for anything else?

[Mark Wallace @wallaceme]

Wandsworth is essentially being subjected to a punishment beating for controlling council tax rates.

'I have never yet heard of an economy being taxed into prosperity. I have never heard of a poor person spending himself into wealth.'

Economist Arthur Laffer explains why he believes Britain has a 'totally dysfunctional' tax system.

[Westminster Matters @westminstertory]

Labour is taking £100m of Westminster's central funding while our review has already exposed £56m of their waste. Someone has to stand up for residents.

[Conservatives @Conservatives]

Under the Conservatives, Britain will be open for business.

We’ll bring back tax-free shopping for overseas visitors, bringing billions in extra spending to British high streets and supporting the shops, hotels and jobs that depend on them.

[David Thompson @davidtjourno]

As nationalists gathered in Cardiff in Monday to tell the world the United Kingdom is coming to an end, there was one topic of discussion conspicuous by its absence – and that’s all the borders they’re itching to erect.
