This #bbcqt audience member (how did he get in?) absolutely nails it on Brexit. “The Remainers never accepted the result.” “The Brexit we voted for wasn’t delivered and left us in a half way house.” “The EU is crumbling and our future doesn’t lie within it.” A fine summary.

Andrew Neil’s Brexit reality check on BBC Question Time. In a nutshell: Rejoiners are ignoring the huge political wind of change sweeping Europe and the UK v Germany/ France/ Italy growth rates make a nonsense of their Mickey Mouse economic arguments too. #bbcqt

A woman on #bbcqt had a pop at Stephen Kinnock’s family for doing well out of the EU. He was rather aggressive and contemptuous in response but she dealt well with his failed “gotcha” at the end. Why on Earth are Labour trying to dredge up Brexit bitterness all over again?

Great video from Andrew Neil as he likens Labour’s conference to the Titanic - complacently steaming towards a rendezvous with reality. Thatcherism heralded the most successful post-war period we’ve ever had. Burnham hates it but the reality is we’ve become a failed State because we’ve moved away from it to embrace the things he loves and wants more of. Andrew Neil

Matthew Syed’s despair at Burnham’s Britain. “What kind of a Government is that? he asks. Good question. The answer? An utterly useless collection of socialist duds - following on from their equally useless Tory predecessors. This is the Worst Government in History.

Labour’s defence shame. “Kicking the can down the road and once it’s gone down the road kicking the can into the long grass” Jon Sopel presses Jonathan Reynolds on Labour’s broken defence spending pledges - and gets a load of fatuous, disingenuous drivel in response. 🙄

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.

Wonderful to watch. Tominey to Kinnock: “You can’t in one breath say because we left the EU we’re economically damaged and on the other say we have the fastest growth in the EU. It’s a contradiction.” Camilla Tominey totally skewers Kinnock’s Remoaning BS. She also exposes the hypocrisy of his argument about red tape.

Extraordinary. Angela Rayner appears to suggest that Labour is looking at trying to block the recently announced Reform donations by applying their new electoral law retrospectively. The hypocrisy from Rayner (who only paid her second home stamp duty under the pressure of an HMRC enquiry) and Labour is deafening. If they seriously try to nobble Reform in this way, I suspect they will quickly end up in Court. ….

It’s been cloudy, rainy and cold all day. But Labour climate zealot Stella Creasy insists we plebs care more about making the “transition” to (useless) solar and battery power than the fact our energy bills have gone through the roof. Andrew Mitchell’s right: we don’t.

Is there anybody home? Victoria Derbyshire grills Labour’s James Murray and brutally exposes the sheer emptiness and can-kicking of Burnham’s regime. It’s obvious they haven’t got a clue what to do. Everything’s a “review” or a target for doing something in several year’s time. This is a totally useless Government.

On 30 July, Wes Streeting told Nick Ferrari of LBC he would resign if Defence wasn’t properly funded and he was careful to say he’d been assured by Healey and Burnham’s it would be. Healey’s credibility is now in tatters. But Streeting’s position is surely untenable?

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.

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.

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.
