Our top ten picks of the week

Reeves inflicted terrible gloom on her own ministerial colleagues

Andrew Gimson

“Badenoch observed with scorn that the Labour Party should be renamed the Welfare Party.”

—

Reeves is a ‘broken promises Chancellor’ who is about to make a bad situation worse

Mel Stride

“The Conservatives are on the side of the people who work hard, save carefully, and play by the rules. Labour, once again, are not.”

—

Ellie Craven

“The removal of the minimum requirement for the early removal scheme should be accelerated, the ‘deport now, appeal later’ policy should be expanded, and the Government should remove new visas for countries that are not cooperating.”

—

Instead of saying farewell to Nick (30), we should be saying farewell to the triple lock

Tali Fraser

“As Britain experiences a brain drain of Nick (30), aka young professionals, the triple lock and a wapping welfare bill remain in their place. Will the Tories wake up to it?”

—

The Government’s recent education review was a version of ‘dumb and dumber’

Stephen Curran

“Between the fashionable buzz words of ‘diversity’ and ‘inclusivity’ the review lead does accept the importance of exams – especially with the emergence of AI making coursework largely pointless – but comes to all the wrong conclusions.”

—

The guiding principle of modern budgets is simple: seedcorn is delicious

Henry Hill

“Rachel Reeves is cannibalising the economy’s healthy tissue in order to avoid confronting Labour backbenchers with unpleasant choices. So it goes.”

—

Time for a Conservative fight back against the Green Party

Peter Franklin

“Let’s calmly, but relentlessly, inform people what the Green Party actually stands for — because when voters find out they don’t like it at all.”

—

We must take the “shadow elections” seriously

David Rogers

“Those elected in 2027 will set the tone, priorities, and structures for the councils that follow. Their decisions will determine how services are delivered, how communities are represented, and how new councils engage with residents.”

—

It’s not that the Chancellor has been underestimated, it’s that she’s always underwhelmed

Giles Dilnot

“As she stands in Downing Street for that photo op Reeves should not underestimate how much the contents of her red box could finish off the economy, the government and her if it underwhelms.  ”

—

You don’t abandon a fundamental right like trial by jury just to clear a backlog

John Oxley

“The Government’s proposals risk a rushed abolition of one of our most fundamental and historic rights – and removing one of the key features that holds up public trust in the judicial system – for a hurried attempt at backlog cutting that is unlikely to work.”
