Taxpayer Bill for Prison Interpreters Rises by Two-Thirds in Three Years order-order.com/2026/10/26/p…
This is a serious point. The best way to reinforce stereotypes of out of touch Tories is yelling "Neanderthal" at someone suggesting that foreign aid is sometimes wasted....

Prices up. Energy bills up. Mortgages up.
The country’s tax burden and borrowing at record highs.
I love a good gherkin, but the government’s response is not equal to the scale of the challenges.
Not much of an argument but par for the course from Andrew Mitchell.

Greens for Palestine Lubna Speitan just said she wants the ENTIRE Terrorism Act repealed. Over 100 late-stage terror attacks have been prevented since the Act came into force. The Green Party is now a national security threat.

If EU immigration is supposedly less permanent, how does Burnham explain (1) that we have around 6 million EU citizens with permanent rights to live here under the EU settlement scheme, and (2) that we are still granting applications 6 years after leaving the EU?
Andy Burnham first discussed his theory that EU immigration might be less permanent than post-Brexit immigration (and so perhaps better for the UK) in his interview with me on @GBNEWS last month.
CH: You said immigration controls weaken Brexit, but Brexit gives you the power to control legal migration. Boris Johnson ignored that. The Boris wave happened. He was punished at the polls. Brexit gives you the power you want to be a sovereign nation.
PM: One thing that I want to convey here is Brexit has changed the nature of immigration to this country, because in the past, when we were in the European Union, people can have their view about it, about whether it was good or bad. But what we had was a more revolving door form of migration, where people would come here in their younger years. Many people did from Eastern Europe. People would remember, and they'd maybe spend you know a few years here in their mid to late 20s, and then go home and start a family, and that was a very common form of immigration. Now, immigration is more likely to be a permanent settlement, where people are coming on a visa to work here. And then we saw obviously the Boris wave and the changes that came through in that in that period. So it's changed the nature of immigration.

I gently suggest that Ireland should first sort out its own descent into unpleasant antisemitism before it starts telling others how to build a respectful civic society.

A reward for his efforts in helping to bring down former Prime Ministers. He really isn’t a man they want to spill the beans given what he knows. Passionate about the council of Europe - an ardent Remainer who would never vote to leave the ECHR like many of those being selected for Tory seats.
His choice of companions at events in a world of social media is both brave and fascinating.
It’s not Kemi who runs the Conservative Party. I’m amazed there are still people who think she Rishi, Boris et al ever did.
Another interesting "direction of travel" decision here.
Kemi's "New" Conservative Party has re-selected REMAINER Roger Gale as a parliamentary candidate.
Gale is 83, and recently REFUSED to vote for ECHR withdrawal, and in fact called the idea of leaving "a grave mistake."
He was previously suspended from parliament for attempted to influence judges to protect a sexual assault convict, his friend and former MP Charlie Elphicke.
Tell us, @KemiBadenoch, Is this really a NEW Conservative Party?
Or is it the SAME OLD TORIES?

This line, which Baroness Winterton of Doncaster has used in the Lords today, is simply a lie. I feel sorry for Labour junior ministers, who are being sent out to repeat pre-written lines they do not understand, but it doesn't change the fact that it's a lie.

The decision not to vet the National Security Advisor, Jonathan Powell, was a deliberate one.
The reason behind that decision could only be that the person who took it did not believe he would pass it and did not care.
Which means that Jonathan Powell was deliberately put in post by someone at the very highest level to deliver something that could not or would not be delivered by someone else who was properly vetted.
Keir Starmer personally appointed Jonathan Powell as the UK’s National Security Adviser on 8 November 2024.
Keir Starmer, it should be remembered, also appointed Peter Mandelson to the post of UK ambassador to the United States before vetting was even completed, and then confirmed him in post, ignoring the vetting agency's recommendation.
Both Powell and Mandelson are/were advocates of an ever deeper relationship between the UK and China. Powell being a significant advocate for the surrender of the Chagos Islands to Mauritius, a development that could only strengthen China’s position in a contested region of the world.
I’ve said for a long time that I believe Starmer has been compromised and this revelation that Starmer personally appointed Powell to such a critical post without vetting shows that Starmer ‘s actions were at the very least highly irregular, extremely questionable and certainly undermining of UK national security.
Consider every action of Starmer as PM and the conclusion becomes self evident.
Jonathan Powell was not vetted before being appointed National Security Adviser, we can report.
