A family who can’t afford to feed their kids is not going to spend £200 going to a theme park. And what difference does a “saving” of less than £1.70 make on a £200 family outing? Trevor Philips ridicules’ Darren Jones’ defence of Labour’s absurd Government by gimmick policy.

Boris Johnson’s silly bluster in response Trevor Phillips’ question about immigration exposes his maddening flaws perfectly. First he ducks the question. Then he fibs unashamedly that Reform (aka the Brexit Party) didn’t “do a bean”to get Brexit done. He “forgets” that it was they who got May fired so he could become PM. They also helped him win the 2019 election by standing down in Red Wall seats. As he correctly says, Brexit finally gave us the power to control immigration. But inexplicably he failed to use it. Starmeresque levels of denial.

Arlene Foster gets it: “I couldn’t believe what I was hearing….When you disrespect Reform you are disrespecting the people who vote for them.” The sneering arrogance of a Labour peer she overheard epitomises why the electorate will keep punishing this dreadful Government.

The quango State in a nutshell: “I thought we elected you guys to decide things not to get other people to decide them” Trevor Phillips exposes the heart of the problem with modern UK politics: a generation of politicians have outsourced decision-making to unaccountable bodies.

Burnham’s BS. Victoria Derbyshire asks Burnham 5 times how he would pay to take utilities back into public ownership and 5 times he fails to tell her. This guy hasn’t got a clue what he’d do as PM except speed us back to the 1970s even faster than Starmer is doing.

A must watch. Centrica’s boss has to deal with idiots like Miliband and the juvenile green/ socialist mob at Westminster, so must choose his words carefully. He wryly points out, if oil producers are already taxed at 80% (when they turn a profit) how can they help with the cost of living? The last Government pandered to the clamour for windfall taxes and both they and Labour have left them in place, destroying the financial incentives for companies to invest in exploration and development of our remaining oil and gas reserves. This and the lunacy of banning fracking must be reversed if we are ever to regain a semblance of energy security.

They can’t help themselves can they? The BBC is obsessed with attacking Nigel Farage at every turn. But they fail again. In this clip Reform’s Laila Cunningham calmly blunts and dismantles Victoria Derbyshire’s latest attack lines on Newsnight. Laila Cunningham

Here’s Wes Streeting on Sunday, saying he would resign if the necessary funds for Defence weren’t forthcoming. Since then we’ve had nothing but obfuscation and spin on the subject from Streeting, Burnham & Healey. There’s a useful four letter word and they’re all full of it.

Robert Colvile is absolutely right. We are heading for an exact replica of what happened in the run up to each of Rachel Reeves’ budgets: a paralysing few months in which the economy slips into a coma as speculation mounts over impending tax rises. They’ve learned nothing.

“Nothing’s going to change!” Trevor Phillips exposes the sheer emptiness of this Labour Government. They have no idea how to improve things. All Bridget Phillipson can do is mouth vacuous platitudes. Expect her to have a run at the leadership if Starmer falls.
