Energy bills are rising again. Labour will blame Iran, but you’re paying more because of Ed Miliband’s net zero taxes and refusal to drill our own oil and gas.

Our Cheap Power Plan would cut bills by 20% by scrapping the green taxes, scrapping VAT and drilling in the North Sea.

As someone with a worm’s eye view of the legislative process, it really irritates me that Starmer’s spin for the poor local election results is that his Govt hasn’t been moving fast enough. There were 40 bills in the first parliamentary session and there are 37 in the second, as set out in yesterday’s King’s Speech. Starmer has created 96 peers – a higher rate per year than any previous Prime Minister. He could not be going any faster.

The fact that the legislation the Govt has rammed through has not delivered growth or reduced the tax burden on working people or lowered the cost of living – delivered the ‘change’ that Labour promised – is because they’re not designed to do that. They’re designed to placate the Party’s ‘stakeholders’ – backbench Labour MPs, trade unions, NGOs, think tanks, lobby groups, allies in the legal profession, cheerleaders in the media, etc.

It’s been bleedin’ obvious to everyone on the opposition benches – and probably some on the Govt benches too – that the legislation was introduced in the last parliamentary session – particularly the Employment Rights Act – will impede growth, not accelerate it.

We’ve told the Govt’s ministers this in the chamber again and again and everything we’ve predicted would happen has happened – rising unemployment, rising inflation, accelerating borrowing costs, an unmanageable welfare bill, exodus of high income-earners, thereby increasing the tax burden on the rest of us, etc.

The idea that if the Govt had been going *even faster* – which is just straightforwardly impossible – the country would be better off, is for the birds. Even as a piece of spin, it’s pathetic. The reason we’re in an economic doom spiral is because this Govt is only interested in pandering to its ‘stakeholders’ and their only motive is to line their own pockets and advance their own narrow sectional interests.

Changing the leader will make no difference. We need a Prime Minister and a Govt who are going to prioritise the national interest. I don’t see anyone in the pack of hyenas stalking Starmer who’s going to do that.

And this woman could be our next Prime Minister - a total and utter embarrassment and it’s the best the Labour Party can do. If they want to save the country they should call a General Election now!

#Labour to increase fuel duty at a time of record pump prices.
You can’t hate this lot enough.

🚨 Rachel Reeves to tax the less fortunate £410 for not being abled to afford a newer car..

Rachel Reeves has confirmed a £410 charge for certain cars under the new Labour Party Government's Vehicle Excise Duty (VED) rates. VED road tax rates for cars first registered after March 2001, and before April 2017, are divided into 13 bands based on the vehicle's CO2 emissions.

TOTAL Media Blackout on Starmer Ukraine Rent boy trial starting today.

ZERO mentions on BBC News, GB News, Daily Mail.

Clearly some kind of D-notice in place.

What are the covering up?

@GMB Still people don’t realise that older pensioners on old pension get approx £2500 less per year than current new pensioners

Lawyers acting on behalf of Yvette Cooper have said 'the rights of illegal migrants are more important than the people of Epping'

Labour just said the quiet bit out loud.

This utterly unacceptable statement should immediately trigger a general election.
