Read this & weep !
In two to three years time, when Starmer and his government are no doubt deeply unpopular, I hope we in the media will ask ourselves: "Why were we so supine during the long 2024 election; why didn't we hold Labour properly to account while we could, and ask more probing questions, and explore their records, rather than give them such an easy ride?".

Hilarious, if it wasn’t so serious. One of Burnham’s Labour MP’s demanding a private company must engage with her to save jobs, which her government has destroyed. The devastation of Britain under a socialist regime.
Poundland has filed to enter administration, putting 11,000 jobs at risk just weeks before Christmas, including here in Brixton.
I stand with Poundland workers and @UsdawUnion.
The owners must engage with workers and ministers, exploring every option to save jobs and shops.
At least Starmer finished how he started
Sir Keir Starmer stayed in an £18.35m luxury central London apartment owned by Lord Alli of Norbury, the millionaire Labour donor, after leaving Downing Street.

Workers lament losing their savings to the taxman as dust settles on a punishing Budget.

Correct.
The evidence is hitting us hard in our face!
That’s why the #Defence Committee has been warning for over a year now that, rather than delaying decisions, we need to chart a path to 3% GDP spend and #invest properly now in our nation’s security.

No disrespect to anyone, but this guy seems to be drawing more media and government attention to the struggles facing hospitality than industry bodies or activists. Maybe @andyjlennox and this guy should join forces to fight for us.

The #UK must face a hard truth: despite raised #threats, we don’t currently have all the capabilities needed to operate effectively in the #HighNorth.
@Independent, we’re exposed - that's why our new #Defence Committee report calls for urgent action.

Every taxpayer pound spent on #defence must count!
Not only will the @HoCcommitteesUK Defence Committee be advocating for more urgent #investment, but we’ll also be holding the Ministry of Defence to account by examining the evidence closely and ensuring #ValueForMoney.

PM heading off to the Caribbean shortly, just after a heavily-criticised Budget, with no political reporters allowed. Not the case in the past.
The King will be going with the entire royal press pack and will therefore get more scrutiny than the actual Prime Minister.
