Below replacement fertility is *the* under-discussed issue in our politics. Why are taxes rising to pay for worse services? Why are state pensions so much more burdensome to pay for? Why have successive govts pursued lax migration policies? Below. Replacement. Birth. Rate.
For the first time in its history the EU recorded fewer births in 2024 than the US Despite having an extra 120 million inhabitants

It is an honour and a privilege to have been elected to lead our great Conservative Party. A party that I love, that has given me so much. I’d also like to pay tribute to @RobertJenrick who fought a great campaign. I have no doubt he will have a key role to play in our party for many years to come. Thank you to all the members who have put their faith in me. It is time to get down to business. It is time to renew.

Our interview with PM in Samoa PM says those with assets are ‘not working people’, hinting at possible tax rises for investors…. Q: Someone who works but gets that income from assets as well, such as shares or property, are they a working person? PM: Well, they wouldn't come within my definition
Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has hinted at possible tax rises for those who own shares and assets, saying they do not fit his definition of "working people". He spoke to Sky's @BethRigby ⬇️ trib.al/tfELRrO

Extraordinary admissions from BMA junior doctors committee co-chair: 🔴 Confirmed strikes over last two years were linked to the general election. 🔴 Don’t regard huge 22% rise offered by Labour enough. 🔴 Plan to strike again in 12 months for more.

Today’s cut will be welcome news for millions of homeowners and shows that Labour inherited a stronger economy which was on the right track. In government, we took difficult decisions that cut inflation from 11.1 per cent to the Bank’s target 2.0 per cent paving the way for lower rates. Our concern is that further substantive cuts may now take longer because of inflation-busting public sector pay rises rushed through by the Chancellor ahead of the summer.

Horrified by the attack in Pennsylvania. In a democracy, you must be able to speak freely and stand for what you believe in. Violence and intimidation must never be allowed to prevail. My thoughts and prayers are with President Trump and the victims of this appalling attack.

Keir Starmer won’t let you retire with dignity. Instead, he’ll hit pensioners with a Retirement Tax. 14 hours to stop the Labour supermajority.

The Times refuses to back Starmer in election day editorial: “Labour has yet to earn the trust of the British people. It has been sparing with the truth about what it will do in office and cannot expect an endorsement.“
