The Prime Minister misled parliament YET again at PMQs. He said: "the decision in question was taken under the last Government". This is untrue. The case was on the 6 January 2025 Not on top of his brief. Can’t answer questions. Doesn’t tell the truth.

Starmer is applying Labour smear tactics from 20 years ago and thinks they will work today. He is a man of the past with no answers for today’s problems, let alone tomorrow’s. That such a huge scandal could occur should prompt soul-searching not ranting that those of us who care about it are “the far-right”.

Keir Starmer wants our applause for a tiny inflation dip while inflation remains at nearly double target. Food inflation is even higher, at 4.9%. We have to control spending, cut tax and lower inflation.

I asked the Prime Minister to clarify why his Defence Secretary said defence spending was only going up by £6 billion, after he said it was going up by £13.4 billion yesterday. As ever, he had no answer. Britain's national defence is too important for his usual bluster.

Asked on the news today about leaving the ECHR I explained that if we need to leave, we will leave. Not with shouty announcements, but a carefully considered plan appropriate for a serious decision with significant consequences. That’s the responsible Conservative approach and we’ll announce our plans at Party Conference.

You may not agree with me, but you will always know where you stand with me. Today in Billericay, a heckler tried to shout me down as I spoke about the normalisation of hatred towards Jews. I did not back down, because it needs to be said. British Jews are being targeted and too many people are pretending this is the same experience of other minorities. This lady implied Muslims are being similarly targeted. This is simply not true. Let's be honest about what is happening. Certain groups (in particular but not solely Islamic Extremists) are creating a climate of fear and intimidation that is normalising Jew hatred. I will never stand for that. Governments have spent too long hand-wringing, making excuses and hoping it would go away. It is time to call this what it is: a national emergency in our attitude, our urgency and our response. I will always engage with people who disagree with me. That is politics. But there is a difference between argument and intimidation. Shouting does not make a bad case good. It's done to silence others. And it certainly does not change the truth. The truth is that British Jews have been made to feel less safe in their own country. Our country. They are being singled out, threatened and harassed in ways that should shame everyone in public life. If we do not stand up now and stop this rise in antisemitism, then why bother saying "Never Again" at Holocaust Memorial Day? Because this is how it starts. I am not prepared to play along with the pretence that this is normal, or manageable, or just another example of tension between groups. It really is not. It is targeted hatred and it is getting worse. So my message is simple. Not here. Not in Britain. And not on our watch. We need to stop the hand-wringing and start doing the right thing. That means standing with British Jews openly, unapologetically and without fear.
