Rachel Reeves's deputy admits it - Labour are funding more benefits on the backs of students. The interest rate on student loans is a scam. But Labour would rather rip off hardworking graduates to pay for more welfare than fix it. That tells you everything about their priorities. Conservatives have clear plan: stop the student loan scam by cutting real interest rates on Plan 2 loans, saving graduates thousands. Find out more ⬇️

Yesterday, Labour’s Defence Readiness Minister claimed the Government would “increase our capabilities”. Today, the Head of the Armed Forces confirmed that he would have to cut back our military capability if Keir Starmer refuses to provide the funding needed to keep the country safe. This is why the Defence Secretary resigned. Britain needs a government prepared to cut welfare and fund defence. Only the Conservatives will do this.

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”.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The country is not being governed and Labour say there won't be a Prime Minister till September. Keir Starmer is off on a farewell tour and Andy Burnham wants a summer holiday. Neither is thinking about our national security. We need to cut welfare and fund our military.

It is utterly disgraceful that Labour are letting serious sexual offenders out of prison early. These are just some of the stories of the victims living with the consequences. This law is wrong. Conservatives will keep fighting until it is changed for good.

Sir John Major makes the essential point. Parents who send children to private school save the state money. Labour’s tax on them has failed. Now the state has 2,000 fewer teachers than when Conservatives left office. So we will reverse this futile, vindictive policy.

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.

I have sacked Robert Jenrick from the Shadow Cabinet, removed the whip and suspended his party membership with immediate effect. I was presented with clear, irrefutable evidence that he was plotting in secret to defect in a way designed to be as damaging as possible to his Shadow Cabinet colleagues and the wider Conservative Party. The British public are tired of political psychodrama and so am I. They saw too much of it in the last government, they’re seeing too much of it in THIS government. I will not repeat those mistakes.

It is fantastic news that the Government has finally woken up to the dangers of social media for young people. This is an important step in helping parents protect childhood for children. Huge credit goes to Laura Trott MP and my Shadow Cabinet for relentlessly fighting for this. Conservatives welcome this latest Labour U-turn, and will continue to work for the best implementation of the policy.
