Tomorrow, Labour must get the welfare bill under control and properly fund our defence.
Britain will spend an extra £50 billion on working-age welfare by 2030, compared with £15 billion for Defence Investment Plan.
Britain’s defence cannot come second.

Such a terrible look for Nigel, and as clear a sign as any that it’s over for him and for Reform - expect Jenrick is screaming behind that forced smile.
Just as clear @KemiBadenoch’s renewed @Conservatives will be the only viable Party on the right come the next election.

The government are all over the place on defence spending. I don't think Andy Burnham realises he commits to spending 3% of GDP on defence by 2030 in this interview...his Defence Secretary won’t even make that commitment!
When the government are saying Britain needs to be ready for war in 1000 days, hitting a defence spending target in 2035 is too late. Getting to 3% by 2030 means spending the money to be ready NOW, not in 9 years time.
‘You’ve just spooked everybody by saying stockpile…what are you doing to invest in defence?’
Susanna Reid challenges the PM on whether he will hit the defence spending target of 3% of GDP by 2030.
Andy Burnham insists his government ‘will’ hit the target.

Higher inflation isn’t just driving up prices, it’s increasing the benefits bill. Either way, it’s working households who end up picking up the tab.
Conservatives will cut the benefits bill, protect those who need help and get Britain working again.

If the Chancellor won’t fund defence properly at the Budget, he should resign.

Andy Burnham has time for Gogglebox. Does he have time to govern?
The Budget is where we discover what he believes, what his plan costs and who is going to pay for it.
Being convivial is no substitute for being in charge.

From Labour’s tax rises to the Chagos surrender and momentous victories, the Birmingham tapestry captured it all.
Now you can take a piece of it home!

Criminals should be behind bars, not released early because prisons are full.
We have a plan to build 50,000 new prison places and end Labour’s early release.

Ofgem have today revealed that Britain might not have enough gas in a worst case scenario this winter.
Burnham says that it's better to produce oil and gas in Britain than importing it. So why is he banning new licences?
Here’s the real reason we need to get Britain drilling👇
Elliot Colburn retweeted
Borrowing up. Inflation up.
Labour have lost control of the economy.
And in next week's Budget, you'll pay for it.

After months of dithering and delay, Conservative pressure has finally forced Labour to approve Jackdaw.
This should be the start, not the end. Labour must approve Rosebank, end the ban on new drilling licences, and scrap the Energy Profits Levy
Elliot Colburn retweeted
Finally. Labour spent 2 years faffing about to make a decision which Conservatives had already approved 2 years ago.
If they’d done this in the summer we’d have had that gas heating British homes this Christmas.
An unnecessary waste of time and money by a party that puts its own interest above the country’s.
