Collaboration is a mindset and set of skills. It's a messy & occasionally frustrating activity. Short term it can take longer than not collaborating. Longer term, effective collaboration delivers exceptional results. But to get there, we must first take a look at ourselves.

We can confirm the names of the three Royal Navy personnel who tragically lost their lives during a helicopter training exercise on 3 June:

Lt Cdr Chris Gayson, 42, Somerset
Lt Lily-Mae Fisher, 31, Surrey
PO Owen Green, 24, Hampshire

Disability benefits will cost taxpayers £20 billion more by 2029.

A surge in claims for mild mental health conditions & neurodiversity is behind it.

Handouts aren’t the answer. A @Conservatives government will reassess these claims to get people into work, rather than welfare.

[Kevin Bass @kevinnbass]

In the UK, you can stab a white person to death and get them arrested while they bleed to death, because racism.

In the UK, you can brutally assault police officers on video and go free, because racism.

In the UK, "anti-racism" has become far more dangerous than racism.

[Lee Harris @LeeHarris]

Imagine watching this and being unable to decide if these vile, out of control thugs assaulted a police officer...

It doesn't make any sense.

Our two-tier justice system is utterly broken.

Grammar is important and I will not allow you to use it to wriggle out of a blatant untruth. This is the official UK government statement:
‘The UK Government is increasing defence spending by £270bn over this Parliament to strengthen our national security.’
Plain English. Even you won’t be able to parse that to your advantage. So hop off and stop wasting my time with nonsense.

Here's a 'life' tip that's served me well over many years.
If your'e not really any good at something, don't do it! Find something else and give it a try.

UK MP's - take note.

[Kemi Badenoch @KemiBadenoch]

Labour MPs don't know where money comes from. That's why Keir Starmer is a dud and why every contender lining up to replace him will be one too.

You can't fix this busted flush of economic illiteracy that is the Labour Party, so stop trying.

@Keir_Starmer What plan????

Cocooned in Westminster, an arrogant elite would rather lecture a furious public on their ‘manners’ than admit their open-border utopia has failed. Via @camillalong https://t.co/O2Ljm9Gfqy

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

Tonight, the Russians struck Kyiv and other Ukrainian cities and communities. The largest number of missiles was directed at the capital – at ordinary residential buildings, at schools; they burned down a food market, one of Kyiv’s oldest markets. The Russian strike effectively destroyed the Chornobyl Museum, damaged the National Art Museum and the building housing the office of Germany’s ARD. As of now, 69 people have been reported injured in the capital. Tragically, two people were killed in this senseless Russian attack. My condolences to everyone who has lost family members and loved ones.

I have already spoken with the President of France and the Prime Minister of Norway. There will be further communication with our partners today. I am grateful to everyone who is not staying silent about what Russia is doing. They are waging war solely against our people – against our memory, our history, and everything that makes up normal human life. It is important that Russia understands that they will be held accountable for all these crimes.

An honest commentary on the state of UK politics from @matthewsyed. This analogy is surely true: "Westminster is the political equivalent of Fifa: a corrupt and failing clique holding back a brilliant sport". https://t.co/ttK8iGsORp

[Katie Lam @Katie_Lam_MP]

The Government want to restart prosecutions of British veterans who served in Northern Ireland.

They say that we have to, because of the ECHR.

But if the ECHR means that we have to drag our veterans through the courts, what better argument can there be for leaving?

“Let me be clear…I broke numerous promises. I invented a £22 billion black hole to punish pensioners, farmers, the disabled, small businesses and students. I tried to give away Chagos and pay £35 billion to do so. I increased unemployment. I increased the government deficit. I appointed Peter Mandelson despite his friendship with Jeffrey Epstein having already been published in various media outlets. I promised to cut energy bills and council tax, but instead, the opposite happened. I did absolutely nothing to resolve the cost of living crisis and made it worse by increasing the tax burden to record levels. I prioritised hanging out with the Davos / BlackRock clique rather than genuinely ‘fixing the foundations’. I promised a ‘transparency revolution’, but instead, operated under smoke and mirrors and sacked colleagues and threatened suspending Labour MPs who voted against me. I spaffed £30 billion away on carbon capture machines. I failed to sort out the small boats / hotels for illegal immigrants. £3 billion a year to Ukraine and big hugs from Volodymyr. I smeared anyone who dared to criticise me a ‘far-right’. I sanctimoniously lectured everyone like they were naughty children. And I have absolutely no intention of resigning after disastrous local election results because I am right and everyone else is wrong. Me first. Country second.”

Russia's shadow fleet ships defying PM's threat and entering UK waters - BBC News: Is there anything that #Starmer says that actually happens? The Russians must be laughing at our once great Royal Navy. https://t.co/2S7R3FBW0E

[Andrew Neil @afneil]

The skids are now under Starmer this evening. The resistance is gathering momentum. His risk is it becomes a rush to disown him. The speech clearly failed. His one remaining asset is how useless those who would succeed are at organising a putsch. And at making it clear none of them would be any great improvement (and some would be worse).

[Sharron Davies HoL MBE @sharrond62]

How? If illegal in the uk! How? 😡

[Kemi Badenoch @KemiBadenoch]

Keir Starmer’s speech was sad to watch. With so many resets, even his reset button needs a reset.

But I do not take pleasure in watching the Prime Minister flounder. The country needs leadership, not another speech from a man who clearly knows something has gone badly wrong, but still can't explain why.

This is Labour’s real problem. It is not just Starmer - all the pretenders jostling for his job do not have the answers either, because they all believe the same things: more welfare, more state control, more borrowing, more regulation. They are busy arguing over who should drive the car, but the truth is they are all heading in the wrong direction. They have no vision for the future.

What we need is to get Britain working again. That is why I have proposed an alternative King’s Speech with a a clear plan to reward effort, cut the cost of government, secure our borders, rebuild industry and back families who do the right thing.

If Labour are serious about fixing the country they could do all of this tomorrow. Whether they have the bravery or the common sense to do that is a different matter.

[Kemi Badenoch @KemiBadenoch]

Labour had a plan to win power. They never had a plan to govern, and they are letting the country down.

This week, the Conservatives are laying out another stage in our plans for how we would get Britain working again.

This is our alternative King’s Speech, a serious and fully funded legislative programme for a Stronger Economy and a Stronger Country. There’s more to do but if we were giving the King’s Speech my team would:

Leave the ECHR and repeal the Human Rights act so we can secure our borders and stop illegal asylum claims.

Deliver cheaper energy by scrapping green levies and ideological net zero targets.

Strengthen policing with 10,000 more police, tougher stop and search, and immediate justice.

Restore the two-child benefit cap, and face to face PIP assessments.

Back our military by increasing funding to 3% of GDP and protecting our veterans.

Help young people by scrapping interest on plan 2 student loans, and getting under 16s off social media.

And so much more.

The country has had enough of this drift. The Conservatives are doing the work. Read our plans👇
