Interesting The Independent says Labour would not raise National Insurance rates on “workers”. Labour stated they wouldn’t raise NI. They changed it to NI on workers, after the election and after reneging on their promise. It was a lie then and it is a lie now!

What a stunning restoration!
Après 5 années d’un chantier absolument gigantesque… Notre-Dame de Paris rouvrait ses portes les 7 et 8 décembre 2024 !

Dan Hodges nails it in this excellent article in the Daily Mail. Burnham is counting on Reform to give him the keys to number 10!

Meeting my good friends Guy and Amber at Gisburne Park….. I’m so excited at seeing their plans to create a legacy project which will create 180 jobs in the Ribble Valley today. Glad @kevinhorkin could join me just before lunch at Hindelinis Cafe. Huge asset to tourism in the Ribble Valley!

A great comedian. Full stop.
51 years ago today, one of most iconic British sitcoms made its debut on the BBC. Who else loved Fawlty Towers?

Wow- for once the PM is being totally honest- never believe a word he says! Starmer was the same! Not a great sound bite that!
NEW: Burnham drops the most perfect Burnham quote yet en route to NY Asked about his slagging off of Trump, the PM came out with this GEM: “politicians say things throughout their career, but now the important thing is to focus on the moment you are in” His entire mantra there

Kemi standing with the women of Piddington- it’s commonsense but commonsense is in short supply in some parties!
“This is not just an immigration issue. This is a safeguarding issue. This is a women's issue, and Labour spend all their time saying that they care about women” Kemi Badenoch takes aim at Bridget Phillipson, the Minister for Equalities, who this weekend said that “all of us women in society are unsafe”.

If it’s not extra taxes it’s compulsion and hefty fines! They don’t seem to be bothered by the doubling of PIP benefits beyond stratospheric amounts or stopping the boats or paying out more in benefits than they collect in tax, or leaving oil and gas in the North Sea for Norway to exploit and then we buy if off them! Bring on the early election Mr Burnham.
🚨 NEW: Former Labour leader Neil Kinnock has called for Andy Burnham to introduce compulsory voting with £10 fines for those who don't "Compulsion to use, or even to attend and abstain, is now increasingly justified and necessary"
