I want the Government to be as far away from people's lives as possible. The state is stuffed with incompetent, malicious and devious jobsworths who have one sole aim in life - protect their own position, salary, pension and lifestyle. I detest it so very much, and a Restore Britain Government will decimate it all. A state that does a small list of things, but does them very well. One that protects our people, our society, our borders and our interests - that enables people to live freely and fairly exactly how they choose, without others encroaching on that. That's it. Collect the bins, sort the potholes out, provide a GP appointment, lock up murderers and rapists, build some decent roads/schools, deliver necessary infrastructure, lubricate the economy, control inflation, implement some national resilience, end the third world invasion. Few other bits and pieces. Other than that, leave us the hell alone. Low tax, low interference, low hassle. In short - we need some basic refereeing, but that's it. Let people find their own way in life - buy a home, build a family, make some money, maybe grow some vegetables - without being suffocated by this atrociously overbearing state. That's what Restore Britain will do.

Keir Starmer's successor, whoever that will be, will fail just like he did. The United Kingdom is ungovernable at this point because the elected government no longer controls the state apparatus. The unholy blob that Tony Blair constructed runs everything, and they answer to no one. Starmer himself literally said that he pulls a lever and nothing happens. His replacement will find those levers still do nothing. Without a massive purge of the NGOs, the Quangos, the courts, the civil service, and the administrative state, changing Prime Ministers will do about as much good as swapping out a kid's steering-wheel toy in a car that's hurdling off a cliff.

I'm delighted to welcome @stephenmorganMP to the Defra team! Stephen will do a great job supporting our food, farming and fishing sectors. I want to thank @angelaeagle for the dedication and hard work she brought to the role and will take to her new role as Security Minister.

I’m confused … isn’t this Starmer saying very clearly that Peter Mandelson passed security vetting? Is this Misinformation or disinformation do we think?

Up to 1.5 million sheep could go unshorn this season. 🚨✂️ Yet Defra’s Permanent Secretary Paul Kissack told the EFRA Committee he was unaware of the impact of the Home Office blocking visa-free access for overseas shearers. How serious a concern is it that Defra have no plan for such a serious animal welfare crisis? READ MORE: ow.ly/BcNb50YoIeo

Think nothing can shock you anymore? The Cabinet Office ethics team no less broke into a safe - then shredded the confidential report into Dame Antonia Romeo. Our new criminal class - the Great and the Good. thetimes.com/uk/politics/art…

While the Westminster bubble of political journalists and politicians wet themselves with excitement about Labour’s leadership intrigue and melodrama, millions of people around the country look on in disgust. While the country rots and the public tries to navigate through the cost of living crisis due to terrible government policies and a lack of effective leadership, these highfalutin shysters behave like it’s a bloody parlour game. The whole thing is utterly shameful.

Guys, I kid you not. Keir Starmer, who looks like a broken man, just said that "no one, however senior, should hold public office if they can't meet the basic test of honesty" Does this mean he is going to resign?

We are pleased to welcome Dame Angela Eagle DBE @angelaeagle as the new Minister of State at the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs.
