I’d go further and say that the UK should stop spending billions of pounds, that it doesn’t have, on involving us in a myriad of foreign conflicts.
The UK can't be dragged into another protracted Middle Eastern war by a US President. Keir Starmer needs to rule out the use of UK bases for any future unilateral US strikes.

Trump’s gamble may not produce democratic change in #Iran. Especially if Iranians think Israel is behind it.
It may cause huge waves of migration into neighbouring countries and Europe.
It may result in thousands of deaths all round, inside and outside of Iran.

The problem is that many people fear what modern @UKLabour thinks is ‘progressive’.
More and more people are fearful of @UKLabour, @Conservatives and @reformparty_uk
All they want is safety, secure employment, good public services, prosperity.
Too much to ask?
The threat to Labour is existential.
The Labour government needs a real change in approach - and fast.

Nearly all senior appointments in the British establishment are held by ‘jolly good chaps’ which is a kind of corruption.
@UKLabour simply mirrors that with its own kind of corruption.
Britain is SO corrupt that most people can’t even recognise it.
Also the appointment of Labour Together activists to civil service posts.

Epstein knew things about Trump => Epstein was MOSSAD => MOSSAD know what Epstein knew => Trump attacks Iran with help from Israel.
One day there will be a great book written about all of this.

Reeves is not the best Chancellor but she did inherit one hell of a mess from the @Conservatives
The Tories problem is that they only have a fiscal policy and nothing else…
At Tuesday’s Spring Statement, Rachel Reeves will try and pull the wool. She’ll say the plan is working. But we all know it isn’t.
We’re getting poorer. Unemployment is at pandemic levels and rising. We have the highest borrowing costs in the G7.
Britain deserves honesty - and a plan to fix our economy. But if the briefings are to be believed, Reeves will come to Parliament on Tuesday and take no action whatsoever.
In today’s @DailyMail, I set out a few home truths to a Chancellor who is out of her depth, out of touch, and rapidly running out of road👇🏻

If @Keir_Starmer does lose his job there will be an element of unfairness.
After all he personally did not know #Epstein, never met him, yet may be the highest profile politician to fall because of him.

Well well well. It seems Nigel Farage attended Davos on a pass sponsored by the family office of a Billionaire
They also paid for his hotel.
Such a man of the people.

Presumably a Tory-Reform coalition is off the menu then? @pritipatel was always in favour of one...

The news this morning is dream coverage for all @UKLabour enemies.
Labour looks divided.
Burnham looks uncommitted to Manchester.
By-election local Labour members may not really want whichever candidate they get.
@reformparty_uk will be toasting over their breakfast muffins.

Why do @UKLabour activists think @AndyBurnhamGM will solve their problems? He is no Tony Blair.
Labour will look just as divided as the Tories did.

You were a bit late there Kemi.
@KemiBadenoch
I have sacked Robert Jenrick from the Shadow Cabinet, removed the whip and suspended his party membership with immediate effect.
I was presented with clear, irrefutable evidence that he was plotting in secret to defect in a way designed to be as damaging as possible to his Shadow Cabinet colleagues and the wider Conservative Party.
The British public are tired of political psychodrama and so am I. They saw too much of it in the last government, they’re seeing too much of it in THIS government.
I will not repeat those mistakes.
