Should private jets face significantly higher taxes? Chancellor John Healey is under growing pressure from Labour MPs to impose a new tax on PRIVATE JETS in the Budget.

Reform UK wants power. But it's haemorrhaging recruits - resigning, suspended, or quitting Farage's outfit - then mopping up failed Tories to fill the gaps. The pattern is the story. But no one's keeping track. Until now. 👇 bestforbritain.org/reform-uk-defect…

"Circumspect" is a very polite way of describing Starmer's stance on Trump casually deciding he can break international law anytime he wants. Cowardly appeasement. Utter folly. Crawling. Shaming Britain. Desperately short term thinking. Anyone got better descriptions? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

When Green party critics call our thoroughly researched policies that are often worked through for years "simplistic" "undeliverable" etc, they are never specific about which policies or why. That's because it would reveal that what they really mean is "our donors don't like them"

This road will cost £200 million if it’s delivered on budget (others are not). It will deliver 206,000 tonnes of CO2 by 2032 and f**k knows why we don’t have the full 60 year report from National Highways. It will also generate more traffic. But it 100% will absolutely not “improve the economy”.
