Excellent interview by @TrevorPTweets with @DavidLammy this morning. Really pushing for answers. Really challenging his responses.

One minister’s text message to Peter Mandelson has summed up this government, and that’s not just my opinion, it’s their own too.

Who can we steal from in order to pay benefits to others?

An iconic quote that will come to sum up this Labour government
PAT MCFADDEN: EVERY MEETING I HAVE IS "WHO CAN WE TAX IN ORDER TO PAY BENEFITS TO OTHERS"

This is the worst government in history. No change of leader will change that. The problem is the Labour Party.

'Every meeting I have [with Labour MPs] is "who can we tax in order to pay benefits to others".' This damning comment is buried within the #Mandelson files released today. Next time Labour says it will "tread more lightly on your lives", remember this...

Jeepers creepers. "Who can we tax in order to pay benefits?" Labour's economic policy summed up in 9 words.

Replying to @AndyBurnhamGM
The cat's out of the bag Andy... You and you're lot are finished. You're taxing us to give to 'others'. That's right. To give to fkn 'others'. But there's not enough 'others' to vote you into downing street. You're not on the side of working people. You are not serious about growth. You don't understand aspiration. You don't get cost of living. You're just tax-and-spend redistribution advocates. You said 'vote Andy for us' - you lied. It's 'vote Andy to give to OTHERS'. We. Don't. Believe. Your. Lies. Anymore. Makerfield. Vote Kenyon. Vote Reform UK. Vote for grafters not 'others'. Get out and vote June 18th. This country needs you! 🇬🇧 Corbyn & Burnham - two peas in a pod.

Lessons from Labour: Don’t save, we’ll take it. Don’t work, we’ll pay you more in untaxed benefits. Don’t employ people, we’ll tax you and them more. They want us poor - and reliant on the socialist state.

Rachel Reeves has just learned the Gerald Ratner lesson. Don’t sneer at your customers. He didn’t swear AT her he swore near her and about Starmer. He wasn’t “impolite” for “interrupting” because it’s a garage forecourt and he was filling up his van. She chose to “do press” there for the photo opportunity. He isn’t “not British” because he gave a Labour politician direct feedback on her government which she didn’t like. A man who never gets near the corridors of the House of Commons will take his chance when he sees it. He saw it. x.com/PolitlcsUK/status/2057… x.com/PolitlcsUK/status/2057…

Makerfield was Andy Burnham’s back up plan. For Robert Kenyon, it’s his home. This battle will be David Vs Goliath.
