Labour’s infighting & rebellion so early in the term, preventing the government from governing remind me of John Major’s “Do not tie my hands” to his backbenchers & eurosceptics. #Labour MPs need to get a grip. They are doing the job for the Tories & Reform!!

I just revisited Tony Blair's 'forces of conservativism' conference speech in 1999 - two years into office. It's such a clear headed narration that balances people's continued frustration and what the government had delivered.

There were 93 homicides in London last year: population 9 million
In New York - population 8.5 million - there were
391.
London's homicide figure is 6 times lower than LA, 9 times lower than Miami, 17 times lower than Chicago.
And it's falling year on year despite the population increasing

If antibiotics aren’t helping, go back to your doctor, don’t wait it out. Use antibiotics only when prescribed, finish the course, don’t save leftovers, and never share them. Smart use = slowing #AMR.

I despair of Labour. Can we not just have a sensible budget, delivered on the day, that apologises for hard choices and then just gets on with giving us something that will give us some hope? All this briefing and speculation makes them look like clowns.

Robbie Gibb was appointed to the BBC Board by Boris Johnson, was an editorial advisor for GB News, and worked as Theresa May's Director of Comms.
He is not impartial or neutral. The government should remove him from the Board immediately to protect the BBC's independence.
