This is astounding. The government's own figures show working-age welfare will go up by £60 BILLION by 2030, yet the Treasury has to rush out and correct the Chancellor to say there is no timetable for cutting the benefits bill. Looks like foot in mouth syndrome is spreading.
John Healey couldn't even find £10 billion to get defence spending to 3% of GDP - the thing he quit over.
Don't let anyone tell you this was a 'do no harm budget'. In doing so little, Labour have harmed our economic security and they've harmed our national security.

Scrap foreign aid, scrap asylum support, scrap benefits for the foreign born & stop people getting benefits & subsidised cars for ridiculous reasons.
Save £40 BILLION a year.
Put Brits and workers first.

Andrew Neil’s Brexit reality check on BBC Question Time.
In a nutshell:
Rejoiners are ignoring the huge political wind of change sweeping Europe and the UK v Germany/ France/ Italy growth rates make a nonsense of their Mickey Mouse economic arguments too.

Armed French police held @PatrickChristys and his @GBNEWS team at gunpoint… then simply allowed dozens of illegal immigrants to invade Britain.
AND WE GIVE FRANCE MONEY FOR THAT !!!

Remind me when you condemned these guys marching through the streets? Or is that different somehow, @NadiaWhittomeMP ?
When blackshirts are marching through the streets of Dover and Portsmouth, the focus shouldn’t be on the disruption they cause, but on their fascist ideology and deliberate intimidation of migrants and people of colour.
The far-right, whether in suits or balaclavas, threatens all of our hard-won rights and protections. We must resist their violence and hatred in every way we can.

🚨 EMERGENCY WARNING TO EVERY PENSIONER IN GREAT BRITAIN: LABOUR IS PREPARING THE ULTIMATE WEALTH GRAB!
If you worked hard for 40 years, paid your taxes, and saved for retirement, Prime Minister Andy Burnham has just placed a massive target firmly on your back.
The highly influential IPPR think tank, which is packed with Burnham's own inner circle, just published the exact socialist blueprint Labour plans to use to bail out their bankrupt government. 🤡
Look at the terrifying three step robbery they are demanding for the October Budget.
First, slapping National Insurance directly onto the incomes of 9.6 million British pensioners.
Second, hiking capital gains tax to a staggering 40 percent to crush your investments.
Third, a devastating 0.65 percent annual property wealth tax just for the privilege of living inside your own family home!
They label you "wealthy" to justify stealing the nest egg you spent a lifetime building. Yet they magically find endless billions to house illegal arrivals in catered hotels without blinking an eye.
They treat the generation that built this country like an absolute cash machine while engineering our total national decline. The mask has completely slipped.
RT and SHARE this everywhere to warn every single retiree in Great Britain before Chancellor John Healey raids their bank accounts! 🇬🇧🔥

Well done to Jack Whaley who won the 126th United States Amateur Championship at Merion Golf Club.
Jack is only the third Englishman to win the United States Amateur Championship, the other two were Matt Fitzpatrick 2013 and Harold Hilton won the title in 1911

Wind providing a mere 3% of UK electricity this morning. So we’re having to import 10 times that amount at massive cost. Plus generate almost the same from gas-fired stations expensively kept for this sort of back up. As a result we’re paying an average £136/MWh. Our energy policy is a costly shambles.

Energy price cap since 2024 election, same usage basis:
July 2024: £1,568/yr
July 2026: £1,862/yr +19%
But April 26, Govt sleight of hand moved £134 off bills to general taxation (HMT fig). Adding it back for real picture:
£1,568 → £1,996 = +27% in 2 years
Exposes lie of renewables being cheaper
Exposes failure of Labour promise to cut £300 off bills
Exposes Net Stupid Zero

🚨 Auditors found £6.8 BILLION of fraud involving DWP.
That’s according to the National Audit Office’s latest report.
That works out at £18.6 million every single day.
Every day you went to work, paid your taxes and did the right thing…
…almost £19 million was being lost to benefit fraud.
Yet this is the same department that hasn’t passed an audit since 1988.
And instead of fixing the system first, the Government plans to spend another £70 billion on benefits while increasing taxes to pay for it
Surely the priority should be stopping the fraud before asking taxpayers for another penny.

The UK last built a public water reservoir in 1992.
The population has increased by over 10 million in the intervening years. Including a surge of immigration.
Now, the state has the cheek to announce a hosepipe ban. Why is that necessary?
Because no infrastructure has been built to cope with the expanding population.
It rained for the whole of January but not enough reservoirs to catch the water.
Our governments have been absolutely and unrelentingly crap. Short-termist.
Only interested in importing cheap labour. Not a care for the people who live here and want things to work as they do in a civilized country.
The next reservoir, in Havant, is not scheduled for completion till the early 2030s.
Prepare for more hosepipe bans and collapsing sewers.
Britain urgently needs an effective ruling class before we slide into a failed state.
