28 Apr 2026MP & Parliamentsarcastic“I've regularly seen Green MPs on the terrace and in the bar. Add to that, Hannah walks though the lobby with her Green colleagues. Is she talking about her fellow MPs?? www.theguardian.com/politics/202...”↗
27 Apr 2026MP & Parliamentangry“The Tories are trying to turn the Privileges Committee into a campaign prop. There’s already a Foreign Affairs Committee inquiry looking at the Mandelson appointment. This vote isn’t about truth. It’s about a Conservative Party with no plan, no answers, and nothing left but process games.”↗
24 Apr 2026Defence & Securitymeasured“The Falklands aren’t a bargaining chip. They are British, and that is based on the clear and democratic wishes of the Falkland Islanders. At moments like this, it’s important to stay focused on that principle. Sovereignty rests with the people who live there — and that remains unchanged.”↗
21 Apr 2026Economy & Jobs (General)measured“Plenty of coverage about who’s advising who. But the real test of any government is simple: Are we growing the economy? Are we improving public services? Are we delivering for people? That’s what counts.”↗
20 Apr 2026Tax & Public Financesangry“I’m glad to see that Richard Desmond’s claim against the Gambling Commission has been rejected by the High Court, and his claims discredited. Desmond’s attempt at £1.3 billion of taxpayer money is shameful. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...”↗
13 Apr 2026Economy & Jobs (General)measured“Closer alignment where it helps British firms trade more easily isn’t betrayal. It’s basic economics. We can either keep arguing about 2016. Or we can get on with growing the economy.”↗
13 Apr 2026Economy & Jobs (General)sarcastic““Brexit betrayal.” Every time. No matter the issue. No matter the reality. Just the same tired line. Businesses aren’t asking for slogans. They’re asking for trade that works. Less friction. Lower costs. Certainty.”↗
10 Apr 2026Defence & Securitycelebratory“This is what leadership looks like. Making difficult calls. Holding a line. Working to de-escalate in a situation that’s anything but simple. Reform will no doubt have a short slogan and sound bite But this is the real world — and it demands a lot more than that.”↗
8 Apr 2026Energy & Net Zeromeasured“A fragile ceasefire in the Middle East. We still face pressure on energy prices here at home. Oil moves. Gas follows. Bills go up. But prices at the pump won't come down. The Conservatives left Britain more exposed to shocks like this. And it’s households who pay the price.”↗
7 Apr 2026MP & Parliamentmeasured“Reform are very good at telling people something’s broken. They’re much less interested in how you actually fix it. Running the country isn’t about shouting the loudest. It’s about delivering real solutions to complex problems. Britain doesn’t need more slogans. It needs serious leadership.”↗
