"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"

"My monologue from todays The Times at One with Andrew Neil on @TimesRadio Keir Starmers government has become the master of maximum pain for minimum gain. Thats what it achieved with the winter fuel allowance squandering shedloads of political capital for very modest savings and its now repeating the exercise with its half-hearted attempts at welfare reform. The case for radical welfare reform is strong. But it was never made by Labour in opposition which did no policy work on it. It turned to it in power to save money and meet Rachel Reevess fiscal rules rather roll out an over-arching grand" @afneil on X 2025-07-01 13:18:26 UTC 1.2M followers, 235.8K engagements

"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).

"Is that all youve got Then youre bereft of anything useful to say. Nobody expected Labour to sort out the Tory fiscal mess in XX months. But we have a right to expect Labour not to make it worse by raising taxes even higher and borrowing even more. Which is exactly what theyre doing.

"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.

So perhaps ministers can now stop spouting nonsense about being the fastest growing economy in the G7. As some of us have pointed out it was always going to look a forlorn boast with a very short life. Its clear growth in Q1 boosted by activity being brought forward for which were paying the price in Q2.
