Sorry, but Reeves is now in power, not in opposition, and needs to start focusing on that rather than the politics of smearing the opposition. Whatever you think of Liz Truss, your mortgage is not higher today than it was two years ago because of her.

We must Unite to Win, revitalise our grassroots and take the fight to Labour.
I will do this with unity,
I agree. Threats towards MPs are an attack on democracy and should be treated in the same way as terrorism.
I have seen too many friends and colleagues from all parties both afraid and physically hurt, and not a day goes by where I don't think about my dear friend Sir David
The fall in interest rates has not happened by chance.
It is due to the prudent approach and hard work of
@Jeremy_Hunt
and the
@Conservatives
that the Bank of England have felt able to take this decision.
The Bank of England has just cut interest rates for the first time since 2020.
This is welcome news for millions of homeowners and shows the Labour Government inherited a much stronger economy than they're letting on.

“We warned that Labour will raise taxes - and now they’ve admitted to it.
The public will not forgive the biggest betrayal of any Chancellor at their first budget in modern history.”
NEW
Joint statement from political parties in Southport following recent events
The “violence we saw has no justification and in no way reflects the values & people of our town”
“Let's show respect & calm as we support each other and the families of those affected”
@LBC
Spare a thought for Tony Hill who has been working at break neck speed in blazing hot sun to rebuild the Southport mosque wall before the far right can return.
He said: “And if we have to build it again afterwards we will do just that.”
Labour were planning tax rises all along - they just didn't have the courage to tell you.
We will continue to hold the government to account for their promises and ask them to come clean on why contradictory information has been put before Parliament.
As we said, North Sea investors are now pulling out of domestic gas production thanks to Labour’s mad plans.
This puts Britain’s energy security at risk. All to import fuel from abroad with higher emissions and have higher bills.
Economic insanity.
Extraordinary admissions from BMA junior doctors committee co-chair:
🔴 Confirmed strikes over last two years were linked to the general election.
🔴 Don’t regard huge 22% rise offered by Labour enough.
🔴 Plan to strike again in 12 months for more.
Bad day for democracy, sustainable communities, food security and homes of beauty
In come Labour’s top down, “command and control” housing and solar farm targets (except in London!!) and building over green spaces.
Shocked by the horrendous attack in Southport today.
My thoughts and prayers are with the family and friends of the victims.
Thank you to the emergency services for their response so far.
Quite right
@Jeremy_Hunt
Either the civil servants were correct when they signed off on estimates or Rachel Reeves was today - both can’t be right.
Rachel Reeves needs to be clear about what she knew and when.
Time for her to come clean about this alleged “black hole”.
Following statements made in the House, I have written to the Cabinet Secretary on the concerning contradiction between the Main Estimates put before Parliament last week and the document presented by the Chancellor today.

News. The Chancellor's just announced Winter Fuel Payments will no longer be universal to all pensioners, now only pensioners on benefits will get it - in my view that's too narrow a group. Here's my formal statement to
