I had some thoughts on our new Prime Minister, the Chameleon of the North, Andy Burnham!

Ahead of the #Budget I'm calling on Labour to abolish #StampDuty on UK shares to help Britain become a #ScaleUpNation working with MPs and @LSEplc
Three practical steps the Chancellor should take:
1️⃣Commit to abolishing Stamp Duty on UK shares by the end of this Parliament
2️⃣Reduce the Stamp Duty rate at the next Budget
3️⃣Remove Stamp Duty from all trading activity within Stocks and Shares #ISAs

I’m getting pretty hacked off with the number of British politicians who don’t even possess the most basic understanding of British constitutional history.
The British Constitution is UNCODIFIED, not unwritten!!!!
🚨 Darren Jones: officials repeatedly told me I couldn’t act ‘because of the constitution’
The former chief secretary to the PM told PACAC:
- “I would often reply with, ‘The constitution’s unwritten. So if I decide to do something, it changes. Therefore, why can’t I do it?’”
- He tried to “abolish the Cabinet Office three times”
- He was not “allowed to abolish the Cabinet Office”

Cliveden House burnt down in 1849. The architect behind Parliament rebuilt it in two years.
Now, Parliament has spent over a decade just planning its own repairs.
What happened to the country that built things? 👇
An outstanding achievement. 6 years of work to secure this, and now so many local people have benefited!
Proper NHS investment for Havant thanks to @AlanMakMP!
It’s been 5 years since I opened #Emsworth Medical Practice’s new building!
I visited them again to mark this anniversary, show my support and celebrate their achievements over the last 5 years. I will continue supporting them and Emsworth residents!

Once again @KemiBadenoch made mincemeat of Andy Burnham at the Despatch Box!
This Labour Government is dead in the water. Only the @Conservatives have a plan to get Britain working again! 🔵🇬🇧
🚨 WATCH: Kemi Badenoch tells Andy Burnham to stop "faffing about" and approve Rosebank and Jackdaw
Burnham: "I've had to wait for the Government process, which was struck down by the courts under the Tory Government, to be fixed. Because they messed it up"

She's putting principles ahead of trying to get an easy win. Not hard to understand.
Since when did anyone go to The Sun for serious political analysis anyway?
Harry Cole, The Sun's editor-at-large rubbishes Kemi Badenoch's claims that she will NOT do a deal with Reform.
"She's putting politics before the country. She has to say this - nobody believes this."

Andy Burnham walks into a bar and orders a pint.
“£6 please.” Says the barman.
Andy says,
“Sod that. I’m getting a ten pound taxi into to town. I know a pub where it’s only £5.95 a pint.”

Finally back home from Birmingham, and I can honestly say that #CPC26 was my best conference yet! Great memories made with great people in a great party!
The @Conservatives are so back! See you all at #CPC27 ! 🇬🇧🔵😎

Returned home after my seventh conference, and reflecting how I’ve never seen party unity quite so high. An absolute force is behind Kemi, and the emphasis on the team is really welcomed. Very impressive stuff.
Oh also I have the flu 👍🏼
There are so many free apps already doing this.
Rather than telling us how far away the less expensive fuel is, why not cut the taxes and duties which inflated the price in the first place!
I know people are worried about fuel prices. And I get it. You get to the pump, watch the numbers climb, and wonder why it's costing so much more than it used to.
The reality is that global events are pushing up costs, and families here at home are feeling the impact.
But I won't accept that there's nothing I can do to help.
That's why from today, you'll be able to see petrol and diesel prices on Google Maps, compare nearby stations and find the cheapest option before you fill up.
It's a small change, but if there's a practical way to help people keep more money in their pocket, I'll do it.

My far right fantasy pint, with my far right fantasy black lab, Zuzu. Living the dream. 🍺

You’ve mentioned her twice in two sentences… I think she’s living rent free in your head.

The uniparty is dead, a truly Conservative speech makes the divide with Labour very clear.
‘I am so pleased at a Conservative leader, making a Conservative speech!’
