π¨ Breaking - Britainβs economy went backwards in April.
π GDP fell 0.1%
πͺ Services fell 0.2%
π Production was flat
ποΈ Construction rose just 0.1%
Rachel Reeves promised growth.
Instead, the economy is stalling.
How much longer can Labour blame everyone else?
This really worries me
A month ago in Wales I suffered a ruptured aneurysm in my abdomen. I lost over 2 units of blood
But the Welsh ambulance service refused to send an ambulance. I was still breathing so apparently didn't need one
I spent 7 hours lying on the ground in a car
Starmer can no longer fulfil the most basic function of his office β he must resign now
Healey says Starmer is unable to keep us safe and Reeceβs is unwilling
They must both go

Iβve said for many years that British manufacturing is being destroyed by net zero.
Now people are finally waking up and smelling the coffee.
We need a Reform government before itβs too late.
Immigration may be reserved to Westminster, but social housing is devolved.
I asked John Swinney directly if he would stop the loopholes resulting in new arrivals being put ahead of locals.
This was his response:
What will @LukePollard do?
His boss has quit on principle
His junior has quit on principle
Is Pollard a man or mouse?
Starmer didnβt call him to replace Healey
We owe those who serve the UK the kit to do the job and the loyalty to stand by them when it's done. We are failing on both.
Iβve spent my whole time in government making that case. Number 10 will not listen, so I am resigning as Minister for the Armed Forces.
Letter to the PM
@AlistairCarns had a distinguished military career. It is damning that Benn, Starmer, Hermer, Reeves and others would not listen to him on lawfare, the Northern Ireland Bill, on defence transformation or on financial resources; and all credit to this RM veteran for stepping into

Malcolm Offord asked John Swinney whether he would give back to Scottish councils the power to put locals first, like they do in England.
Unaccountably, he refused to answer.
Even more devastating resignation letter by Al Carns
Defence Investment Plan not fit for threat we face. Incredibly, Carns had no part in preparing it, despite being best qualified Labour MP
Brutal about Northern Ireland Legacy Bill
We have been gaslit by PM and Labour
