"The more Starmers government disappoints the more it resorts to absurd windy rhetoric to mask its failures A green energy superpower Miliband A science superpower Starmer A defence industry superpower Reeves. None of those things are true. Nor will this Labour government (or the Tories for that matter) ever get close to realising them. Indeed it most of these areas its already going backwards"

"Latest official French statistics find almost 10m people living below the poverty line set at XX% of median monthly income or 1288 for a single person. Another 650000 people fell into poverty in 2024 the largest increase since 1996. The poverty rate hit XXXX% up from XXXX% in 2022 = both a record level and a record jump. This is probably the most generous and extensive big government welfare state in the world with the state now accounting for XX% of French GDP. Cause to ponder for the many who want the UK to go down this route too"

"Back in March 2024 at the time of last Tory Budget the OBR reckoned the UK would borrow XXX billion over the coming five financial years (2024/25 2028/29). By March 2025 after Labours first Budget the OBR increased that to accumulated borrowing of XXX billion a XXX billion increase in borrowing including the actual XXX billion borrowed in 2024/25 (almost double the OBRs March 2024 forecast). The OBR regularly underestimates borrowing. So actual borrowing likely to be more than XXX billion. Yet Starmer/Reeves claim theyve fixed the economy and that it is improving"

"Lets not forget that most of what were now borrowing is spent on meeting the cost of previous borrowing. The OBR reckons well borrow XXX billion this financial year 2025/26 (it will be more than that). It also estimates well spend XXX billion paying interest on existing debt (it will be more than that). The cost of servicing the national debt now takes over X% of government spending and is almost X% of our GDP. And XX% of what well borrow this year will be spent on interest incurred on previous borrowing. It is unsustainable"

So perhaps ministers can now stop spouting nonsense about being the fastest growing economy in the G7.

John Majors efforts to explain away sterlings unedifying exit from the European exchange rate mechanism in the autumn of 1992 which still stalked him when he lost by a landslide in 1997.

"To spend an interview with the Leader of the Opposition on a supposedly serious news programme beating her up for not watching a particular TV drama (not a documentary as they kept calling it) is quite surreal. Ms Badenoch politely held her ground well. I would have been rather more robust with the interlocutors"

"It is interesting to note that while Labour ministers were telling us the government couldnt afford 1.5billion for pensioners winter fuel allowance it was telling a court behind closed doors that it was allocating 7billion to resettle Afghans"

"I guess you missed this bit in my article: The original blunder and its aftermath happened on the Tories watch. So they have most to answer for. It was also the last government that decided to shut down all the usual forums of democratic accountability - parliament Press public debate - by seeking and obtaining a court-ordered super injunction. Heres a tip: read before commentating. Otherwise you reveal just how thick you really are"

"My monologue to on The Times at One with Andrew Neil: There are some images which come to haunt a government and its prime minister which in retrospect become emblematic of their decline and fall. Jim Callaghans unconvincing attempt to underplay the impact of the 1978/79 winter of discontent from the sunny Caribbean. John Majors efforts to explain away sterlings unedifying exit from the European exchange rate mechanism in the autumn of 1992 which still stalked him when he lost by a landslide in 1997. Theresa May insisting nothing has changed when clearly it had and not to her benefit. Boris"

"For many years now I have bought at home and abroad nothing but Jaguar Land Rover vehicles. A patriot not an enemy. Far from gloating I despair at what government policy and Jaguars absurd rebranding are doing to the company. And I can assure you I really dont need fresh ammo re Starmer. I already have a surfeit"

"Some nonentity rapper shouts death death to the IDF from a Glastonbury stage. The audience of idiots repeat the refrain again and again. Its effectively a call for a second Holocaust because the IDF is all that stands between Israel and a second Holocaust. And the BBC broadcast it live. Which at least let us see with our own eyes how Glastonbury can morph from music concert to Nazi-style rally more Nuremberg than Glasto"

"Oh first it was at last youve deigned to mention this subject. When that was shown to be nonsense now its but youve not gone all out on the whole net zero agenda. Typical Twitter moving of the goalposts. And still wrong for some time now Ive argued that the billions spent on net zero should be transferred to defence spending"

"Healey picture is used because he is the defence secretary who made the announcement revealing the clandestine settlement program. And though the Tories are originally responsible for the scandal and deserve most of the blame Healey has been complicit. He kept the injunction in place for longer than it was under the Tories renewed it several times and continued to spend hundreds of millions on the secret airlift to the UK"
