Today we remember the sacrifice and bravery of the British and Allied forces who stormed the beaches of Normandy 82 years ago.
They fought for freedom, duty, and our values.
We will never forget their sacrifice.
For every young British person hired since 2020, *27* young migrants from outside of Europe have entered the workforce.
It's completely mad to have so many people coming from abroad, while young people in Britain struggle to find opportunity.
The system is totally broken.
Best political interview I've seen in years. Gloriously, Lammy is too stuffed with cognitive dysentery to fully appreciate the baroque splendour of the skewering he's being subjected to. Masterful from @TrevorPTweets, if only all the media were like this.
Starmer is utterly deluded.
Here he is thrilled that the Unilever site in Warrington which closed with 140 job losses is being replaced by a 260,000 Data Centre …
which will employ about 40 people in total, many remotely.
Datacentres will NOT solve growing unemployment, they will only help increase it.
Very chilling authoritarian move by Andy Burnham.
He commanded Senior figures at Manchester's Fire & Rescue Service to have words with Firefighters who support Reform UK, saying it was a cause for 'concern'.
Make no mistake about it, Andy as PM will be a threat to free speech.
The new Danish government is cutting the corporation tax rate from 22% to 19% over three years, and eliminating income tax bands for the highest earners.
“It is crucial that Denmark remains competitive,” Prime Minister Frederiksen said.
It's sad that the British government does not have a similar attitude.
Punishing today’s Conservatives for the mistakes of the past isn't just counterproductive—it’s completely self-defeating.
Think about it: it is exactly like a football fanbase refusing to support their club because of a terrible previous season under a completely different manager. It makes zero sense.
For years, the core complaint was clear: "We don't have an ideologically true Conservative leader, and we don't have real Conservative policies." Well, now we do. Under Kemi Badenoch, the landscape has completely shifted:
The Principles: She is delivering the authentic, common-sense conservatism the grassroots have been begging for.
The Vision: She is actively dismantling a decade of misrule and rebuilding the party from the ground up.
The Momentum: Her message is resonating, and her leadership is popular.
But Kemi cannot do this alone. She needs our support to make this renaissance a success.
Right now, the political landscape is fractured by a protest vote that achieves nothing. Splitting the vote for Reform—a party that operates as a volatile one-man band and routinely borrows policies from across the aisle just to patch a manifesto together—doesn't help a single soul in this country.
Worse still, let’s look at what Reform actually represents. The Tories are true blue. True Conservatism is blue.
Voting turquoise—a diluted, compromised blue—gets you a diluted form of conservatism that actively drifts leftward in Northern regions just to chase Red Wall populism. It lacks core stability.
The Conservative Party offers tested, experienced, "old school" representatives who understand how to govern and how to fight for traditional values.
It’s time to stop looking backward at past grievances and start looking forward at the real alternative. If you want genuine, un-diluted Conservatism, back the leader who is actually building it. 🇬🇧
Back Kemi. Back the Blues. 🌳

People’s lives, people’s families, people’s self esteem, people’s livelihoods.
210,000 fewer people in work in a year.
100,000 fewer people in work in just one month.
April.
The month the (anti) workers rights act came into force…
Well done Labour 😡
* The early estimate of payrolled employees for April 2026 decreased by 210,000 (0.7%) on the year, and by 100,000 (0.3%) on the month, to 30.2 million. [source ONS]
Remember: if you think Brexit cut GDP per capita by 8%, you implicitly believe that, without Brexit, the UK would have grown c. 1% a year faster than France or Germany. A growth profile closer to the US.
That's simply not a remotely tenable position.

Activist: "Your cows are putting carbon into the atmosphere."
Farmer: "Where did they get it?"
Activist: "What?"
Farmer: "The carbon. Where did the cow get it before it put it anywhere."
Activist: "From... eating?"
Farmer: "From eating grass. And where did the grass get it."
Activist: "The soil?"
Farmer: "The air. The grass pulled it out of the air last spring. The cow ate the grass. The cow breathed some of it back out. It went back into the air it came from."
Activist: "But it's still going into the atmosphere."
Farmer: "It's going back. There's a difference between a thing going somewhere and a thing going back. You've described a circle and you're frightened of it."
Activist: "Then just don't have the cow."
Farmer: "The grass still dies in autumn. It rots where it falls. The carbon goes back into the air either way, just without anyone getting fed in the middle."
Activist: "It's not that simple."
Farmer: "It's grass, cow, breath, grass. Or it's grass, rot, air, grass. Same circle, fewer dinners. If that's complicated for you I'd stay away from the water cycle. That one's got clouds in it."
The Government is potentially in contempt of Parliament.
By failing to publish unredacted documents, they are failing to abide by the Humble Address on Lord Mandelson's appointment as our Ambassador to the US.
This is unacceptable, and unless the Government stops the obfuscation, I will raise the matter as a matter of contempt.
I reminded the House that the now PM, Keir Starmer, established a precedent for this in December 2018, when he secured a motion holding the then-Government in contempt.
🚨 Breaking - 210,000 jobs gone — is this what happens when Labour taxes jobs?
The latest payroll data shows Britain has 210,000 fewer payrolled employees than a year ago.
That’s not a recovery. That’s jobs disappearing under Labour.
📉 The state expands.
📉 The real economy shrinks.
📉 Workers pay the price.
How many more jobs have to vanish before Rachel Reeves admits her jobs tax is hammering the labour market?
@10DowningStreet Inflation over double what Labour inherited, and going up. Unemployment up since June 2024. Business confidence lowest since Covid. Interest rates not coming down. Job adverts lowest since Covid.
The Bond rates highest since 1998.
These are facts, not forecasts.
