Starmer has completely lost control of his party, forced into doing yet another U-turn by his backbenchers today on benefits & now being forced to say he deeply regrets his ā€˜island of strangers’ speech claiming he hadn’t read it properly before delivering it!

I see Andy Burnham is urging MPs to vote against Starmer’s welfare cuts. Burnham is doing more than eyeing up the top job, he’s actively agitating for it. Typical lightweight posturing from Burnham - but further evidence that Labour is falling apart and Starmer’s a lame duck.

The 1st anniversary of Starmer's premiership this week also marks the beginning of the end after a series of disastrous U-turns weakened his rule. His left wing rebels have taken charge & Keir is impotent to do anything but do as he’s told . express.co.uk/news/politics/…

The Minister who brought us VAT on private schools is looking to introduce the ā€˜socio-economic duty in the Equality Act 2010’. Basically Labour is preparing to introduce an equality law which will discriminate against the middle classes. šŸ‘‡ express.co.uk/news/politics/…

If Labour MPs vote for Starmer’s benefit bill they will basically be introducing a 2-tier benefit system. I asked the Minister if the govmt had taken legal advice & whether it was lawful to treat people with the same disabilities,conditions & circumstances differently. No answer!

Only a year in office and Starmer has already lost authority & control of his backbenchers. He was never a leader …. šŸ‘‡

Another day, another rebellion & what will inevitably turn out to be another embarrassing retreat by Starmer. Today’s revolt by his backbenchers is on special needs support in schools. Starmer is a lame duck Prime Minister, squatting in Number 10, and taken prisoner by his MPs.

It is pretty clear this Labour government has a vendetta against pensioners. A letter from Treasury rejecting exempting the state pension from income tax is basically a stealth tax on pensions and the latest kick in the teeth to pensioners.šŸ‘‡ express.co.uk/news/politics/…

Dysfunctional is the word that best describes this Labour government, and Rachel Reeves’ tears last week exposed the pent-up tensions within what is now an ungovernable party. šŸ‘‡ express.co.uk/news/politics/…

Dizzying U-turns have made Labour MPs unwilling to support Starmer - they are the ultimate morale sapper for backbenchers. Defending the unpopular Winter Fuel Policy only to then see the govt back down & apologise has made them unwilling to do it again. express.co.uk/news/politics/…

Farewell Norman - my political hero & the only person I knew who could do 3D trigonometry in his head! 29 March 1931 - 8 July 2025

The words ā€˜illegal’ and ā€˜irregular’ are not the same & are not interchangeable as Starmer & Macron would try & have us believe. Those landing on our shore from Calais via boats are illegal migrants Talk

I asked the Minister the savings made from the Equality, Diversity & Inclusion changes I brought in & if he’d be overturning them. He couldn’t give a figure for the savings - let me help him, it’s many millions - but he did confirm he wouldn’t be reversing what I introduced.

What a bunch of buffoons! Labour’s so desperate to hit its bonkers net zero targets that next week it will announce Ā£700m of taxpayers money to subsidise the purchase of electric cars! To help pay for it Labour’s introducing a farm tax to collect Ā£500m destroying British farming

A survey by the Federation of Small Businesses (FSB) shows more small businesses expect to downsize or shut up shop than grow over the next 12 months - the worst outlook in 17 years. Small businesses are the lifeblood of this country and Reeves & Co are killing them off. Labour’s destroying the country

What a disgrace. Ed Miliband came to the House to do a Statement about how vital it was to get to net zero- but when I asked him 3 simple questions, the cost, who’s paying for it & if the UK got to net zero how much it would reduce global temperatures, he couldn’t answer.

Esther McVey (@esthermcvey1) 's Twitter Profile Photo

It has become common place for Labour Ministers to not even try to answer the questions put to them - and Starmer sets the tone by being one of the worst for it every week. So today I raised Ed Miliband’s non-answer to my question on net zero with the Deputy Speaker…..

Doctors are back with their hands out demanding more money &because they know Starmer is weak,they’ve given him an ultimatum: if they don’t get what they want within 2 weeks they will be out on strike July 25-30 Drs & the militant BMA have lost the plot express.co.uk/news/uk/208174…

Kier is about to oversee the biggest betrayal of our veterans & deliver the ultimate 2 tier Keir justice- the prosecution of veterans & the compensation of terrorists. He needs to halt this lunacy now & get rid of his Attorney General Lord Hermer who’s advising him on this
