Quite a contrast - Badenoch to get young people jobs. - Labour giving child sex offenders soft sentences

Another day, another example of Labour refusing to spend money on defence. Just a few weeks into the job and one of Wes Streeting’s first acts as Defence Secretary is to cut £800m allocated to refurbish military housing. It is frankly incredible this new Labour Government under Andy Burnham would treat service personnel and families this poorly.

"Mass immigration without integration will destroy our culture, and it will destroy the foundations of our nation-state." Speaking at the Conservative Party conference, shadow home secretary Chris Philp says this sentiment is not "racist or far right" but "common sense."

Kevin Hollinrake pulls out a pint then introduces his “fantasy far-right black Labrador”, in absolutely brilliant scenes from Conservative Conference. Legendary stuff. 🤣🍺🐕

Thought Badenoch's speech was good last year. This surpassed it. Drew a crystal clear line between herself and Andy Burnham on major issues of substance. But even more significantly, draw a line between herself and Farage. There will be no uniting the right. She wants to crush Reform.

“When we win the next election,” Kemi Badenoch told her party conference on Sunday, adding after a pause: “And we will win the next election.” The Conservative leader’s confidence drew relieved applause from activists in Birmingham who just 12 months ago feared they were doomed ⤵️ telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/10…

A violent criminal doesn’t become less dangerous just because the Government has run out of prison cells. We have a plan to build 50,000 new prison places, the most since Queen Victoria, so we can end early release.

Kemi Badenoch has announced the Conservatives will spend £2bn annually to create the extra spaces within seven years of taking power. The Tory leader said the move – largely funded by cutting foreign aid to just £1bn a year – would be the biggest prison-building programme since the Victorian era and enable the Tories to cancel Labour’s early release of “dangerous” offenders to tackle jail overcrowding ⤵️ telegraph.co.uk/politics/202…

Question: has anyone ever been able to find anything Zack Polanski has said that has turned out to be true?

The main reason there have been no budget leaks is because they still don’t really have a clue what to do!!

When candidates campaign in foreign languages, it's impossible for most voters to hold them accountable. And it's almost always used to pander to group-based grievances. We must ban this poisonous practice, for good, and protect our democracy.

Polanski said his family 'fled the Nazis'. But all four of his grandparents were born in Britain - long before the war trib.al/cEIekAl

Ironic that as PM Burnham raises the prospect of rejoining the EU, a sovereign debt crisis is brewing on the other side of the Channel. Oh, and Yields on UK 30-year bonds have just passed 6%.

Here is one of the 700 prisoners that Labour have released today. His plan now that he’s free? “I’m going to go stealing again.”

A year ago, Kemi Badenoch faced calls to resign after disastrous local election results. Ed Cumming meets Badenoch and examines how her Thatcherite policies, sharper Commons performances and revamped shadow cabinet have helped steady the party, and put Nigel Farage under pressure. 🔗 telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/10…

We have had a lot of questions about why the plants on #OxfordStreet have been allowed to die. Taking care of them, mostly ensuring they are watered, was the job of @CityWestminster until a year ago. It was handed over to the Mayor's teams in line with other responsibilities. But they didn't have a contract with anyone to take care of the plants and didn't do it themselves, so they have all been allowed to die. In the grand scheme of things, it's a small issue. But it's a very visible example of how not being ready can lead to things going wrong. Managing a space like #OxfordStreet requires hundreds of things to be provided for - from plant watering to street cleaning. If we are going to pedestrianise it, let's take the time to get it right. At the moment it's just being rushed. Am all for deadlines to get things to happen but false ones can lead to unnecessary problems and things going wrong. Like dead plants. @FitzWestForum @MaryleboneAssoc @mayfairforum @sohosocietyw1 @westminstertory

This was Burnham’s “promise” not to reopen Brexit on 18 May 2026. Why? Because he had to win the Makerfield by-election, where two-thirds of his constituents voted to leave. Utterly shameless and wrong. BBC report here: bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cx21…

SHOCKING: Labour Minister thinks beer, black labs and pubs are a 'very far-Right nostalgic vision of Britain’ that ‘we don’t want to have’

Andy Burnham wants to take Britain back to the 1970s, a time of more government control, more trade union control and no economic growth. There is a reason our country took a different course after that decade. Nothing Burnham announced today will do anything to fix Britain’s long-term problems. He had no plan to fix our stagnant economy. No plan to fund defence. No plan to sort out the spiralling welfare bill, beyond more government schemes. His proposal to change the triple lock is already falling apart under scrutiny, and it won’t generate enough savings to fund a nationalised care system for another two decades, which means more tax rises are inevitable. Britain does not need to recreate the politics of the 1970s. It needs a government prepared to take the difficult decisions, back those who work and build businesses, and look confidently to the future.
