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?
Not everything has to be looked at through the lens of discrimination.
Conservatives managed to choose our first woman leader 51 years ago. Meanwhile Labour are celebrating Andy Burnham as their first female Prime Minister.
Claire has been promoted because she is excellent and Conservatives believe in meritocracy.
If Harriet is worried about discrimination, there is plenty in her own party to keep her busy.
Boris Johnson promoted me to the Treasury while I was on maternity leave in 2020. Nobody did a podcast episode on it because we didn’t think it was remarkable. He just knew I could do the job.
Women do not need patronising theories to explain their success. That is the point.
Is it just me but suddenly everything feels …. normal ?
No more psycho dramas and scandals.
Like the grown ups are back in Govt & people can get on with their lives watching politics out the corner of their eyes.
Safe
You may not agree with me, but you will always know where you stand with me.
Today in Billericay, a heckler tried to shout me down as I spoke about the normalisation of hatred towards Jews. I did not back down, because it needs to be said. British Jews are being targeted and too many people are pretending this is the same experience of other minorities. This lady implied Muslims are being similarly targeted. This is simply not true.
Let's be honest about what is happening. Certain groups (in particular but not solely Islamic Extremists) are creating a climate of fear and intimidation that is normalising Jew hatred. I will never stand for that. Governments have spent too long hand-wringing, making excuses and hoping it would go away. It is time to call this what it is: a national emergency in our attitude, our urgency and our response.
I will always engage with people who disagree with me. That is politics. But there is a difference between argument and intimidation. Shouting does not make a bad case good. It's done to silence others. And it certainly does not change the truth.
The truth is that British Jews have been made to feel less safe in their own country. Our country. They are being singled out, threatened and harassed in ways that should shame everyone in public life. If we do not stand up now and stop this rise in antisemitism, then why bother saying "Never Again" at Holocaust Memorial Day? Because this is how it starts.
I am not prepared to play along with the pretence that this is normal, or manageable, or just another example of tension between groups. It really is not. It is targeted hatred and it is getting worse.
So my message is simple. Not here. Not in Britain. And not on our watch. We need to stop the hand-wringing and start doing the right thing. That means standing with British Jews openly, unapologetically and without fear.
🔴 EXCLUSIVE: Attorney General credited Prime Minister with opening floodgates for war crimes claims against British veterans
Read how Sir Keir Starmer was a pioneer of “groundbreaking” legal claims that paved the way for the witch hunt against British troops in Iraq, according to his Attorney General’s own testimony 🔗

"Wriggle room if the killings did not in fact happen."
Those are the words of Keir Starmer's Attorney General, sent whilst dragging British troops through the courts.
The troops were innocent. Keir Starmer's judgement is not.
The door of 10 Downing Street is one of the great symbols of British democracy.
A democracy which relies on the principles of honesty and integrity.
Its current inhabitant has failed to uphold these principles.
Boris Johnson must go.
Rudakubana's parents knew their son was stockpiling weapons and planning an attack. They chose silence. Three little girls paid with their lives.
As I said yesterday morning, they should face the consequences of their actions, or indeed their inaction. If they escape criminal charges on a technicality, the Government should deport them.
And if the ECHR stands in the way?
That tells you everything you need to know about why we must leave.
