John Healey, the former Defence Secretary, has acted honourably by resigning. It seems it wasn't just @KemiBadenoch who wasn't happy with Starmer's evasiveness on defense spending.

Starmer failing to answer Kemi's questions on defence funding. Will he cut spending, borrow more or raise taxes? We still don't know but I think we could have a good guess. Everyone prepare for Rachel to have another riffle through your pockets whilst maxing the credit card.

Kemi Badenoch absolutely hammering Keir Starmer and Labour. She’s the leader we need. Strong, gutsy, determined and has the backbone to get things done.

A strong and serious speech from @KemiBadenoch today. While others chase headlines and slogans, she’s focused on the root causes of identity politics in our public institutions. Fairness should mean one law for everyone, not bureaucratic box-ticking or dividing people into competing groups. Scrapping the Public Sector Equality Duty is a bold step towards restoring common sense, accountability and equal treatment under the law. This is the kind of principled leadership the country needs. 👏🇬🇧

@KemiBadenoch gets it. Scrapping stamp duty for first time buyers and business rates for struggling high streets will revive home ownership and our economy.

Reform UK's best and brightest...

Natural England wants to remove 90% of Dartmoor’s ponies. Our Exmoor ponies are next. These animals have been here for thousands of years. A government quango, destroying the countryside and its heritage.

Labour's Welfare Secretary admitted to Peter Mandelson what he won’t tell you. Labour raised your taxes to pay for more benefits.

I have been sickened all day by the news of three boys who lured two schoolgirls, raped them, and filmed it on their phones while they laughed and egged each other on. When they finally stood before a judge this week, they were handed “rehabilitation orders” and walked out without serving a single day behind bars. Not in prison, not in custody or a young offender institution. The judge said, “None of you need to go to prison”. What message does that send to rapists? The crime could hardly be graver, yet the punishment was no punishment at all. It’s the collapse of consequences and the rot runs right through the justice system. And this is only going to get worse because Labour are choosing to go soft on criminals: ❌ They have abolished short prison sentences. ❌ They have let tens of thousands of criminals out early. ❌ And now they want to raise the age of criminal responsibility, so that even MORE young offenders escape any consequence at all. My position is common sense👇 PRISON WORKS. ✅It punishes those who do wrong, it keeps dangerous people off our streets and away from our children. ✅It tells every victim that the law is on their side. A country that forgets this is a country where schoolgirls are raped and filmed for sport, and the boys who did it get to go home. Conservatives stand against it and our policies on sentencing and prison are the ones that will deliver a stronger country.
