In 1997 the Tories bequeathed New Labour: - 3.5% GDP growth - 4.5% wage growth - 4.6% manufacturing output growth - Energy independence and falling energy prices - A brand new nuclear power station (1995) - New reservoirs (1992) - Construction of Manchester airport's second runway - Falling unemployment - London as the world’s leading foreign-exchange centre - A newly opened Channel Tunnel - Debt at just 37% of GDP - On track for a balanced budget Andy Burnham just said that this was failure. Somehow.
It’s full of dishonest crooks
Rachel, you boasted about being the first woman Chancellor and you have been appalling. The sheer stupidity of your Budget caused thousands of businesses to close, hundreds of thousands of jobs to be lost. The interest repayment on our debt rocketed because you were criminally useless and the markets knew you didn’t dare cut public services. You have let down your sex and damaged Britain.
It has been the privilege of my life to serve as the Chancellor of the Exchequer. The economy today is stronger, fairer and more resilient because of the choices we have taken as a Labour Government over the past two years. Stability restored, investment delivered and reform
Farewell to what for most has been 2 years of broken promises, weakness, let downs, scandal, chaos, greed, chronyism. But for many of us, 6 years of a spiteful, closed, technocratic, top down, entitled managerial regime which fostered resentment, resulted in workplace stress, ignored political knowledge, talent and achievement in favour of nepotism. Mandelson, glasses, inept, badly-fumbled u-turns, empty politics rejected by voters. Not legacy, not greatness, not leadership.
This broken promise is symbolic summing up of this feeble administration
A timely reminder that Andy Burnham used to refer to Theresa May as an “unelected PM” after she was crowned leader. We should refer to Andy as an unelected PM from next Monday.
Love this, and she looks so pretty. 🤩
An old tweet which shows what an awful woman you truly are.
Ann widdecombe better go this week not only is she a little fascist beast but also an anti abortionist, what a lovely women
Aren’t you the minister for safeguarding women against violence? And you have to apologise for what you tweeted after a fellow female politician was violently murdered? Isn’t that a resigning matter?
Apologies for offence caused by my earlier tweet, which I’ve now deleted. My thoughts are - as they have always been - with Ann Widdecombe’s loved ones at this awful time.
‘A spinster, an old maid, a virgin? How dare he discuss Ann in those terms. Has broadcasting really been reduced to this level? How shall he be described at the point of his demise - a shagger, promiscuous, a philanderer? What a reprehensible and disgusting individual he is.
Adam Boulton talking mean-spiritedly about Ann Widdecombe in front of what looks like a picture of himself. He describes her – a possible murder victim – as a 'spinster', a 'battleaxe', 'a bruiser', an 'old maid', and mentions her virginity, before speculating irresponsibly about
You are a disgusting, conceited, condescending, morbidly obese misogynist who was horrible to a great woman who had just been murdered. Why has @SkyNews not fired you?
I hope Adam apologises and retracts these vile remarks immediately. A colleague has been murdered, and this is how he chooses to speak about her? Awful, twisted and utterly without decency. His team has just called asking me to appear on his show. I won’t. And unless he apologises, I don’t think anyone else should either. 👇🏽
Sky News’ Adam Boulton has described murdered former politician Anne Widdecombe as “spinster” and “old maid” going into detail on her private life. Many commentators are calling this rant “vile” and “deeply misogynistic” It’s unclear if he’s received any pushback from the
Karen do us a favour and fuck off..evil bitch.
"Heather" is crowdfunding for his kidney operation while gleefully posting he hopes Ann Widdecombe had an 'extremely painful death'.. Kidney failure is an extremely painful death, "Heather"...slow, agonising organ shutdown ect. Don’t wish on others what you fear for yourself..
Devastated to learn of the sad passing of national treasure Ann Widdecombe. I had the pleasure of meeting and interviewing Ann countless times - she was a deeply principled, honourable & tremendously fun person. She had an unshakable faith in God, and I hope she is with Him now.
How come this lying f**ker gets to sit in the Royal Box at Wimbledon?
Hi @bphillipsonMP here’s another tea shirt for you Enjoy 😘
So she’s happy to wage a class war and ruin the education system and harm student’s prospects, but looks outraged and close to tears, needing a colleague to pat her on the shoulder for comfort, when @KemiBadenoch calls her out for doing a dreadful job at PMQs.
This is the Education Secretary who taxed working parents paying for their disabled children to attend a special school. Purely because she was ideologically opposed to parents who want to spend money on their children’s education. That’s what we don’t like.
Kemi lost her head at PMQs - and afterwards too. It's not the first time. She's compared me to a Gestapo officer. I wonder what it is about a working class woman driving record investment in state schools by ending private schools' tax breaks that the Tories hate so much.
Kemi is absolutely correct. @bphillipsonMP IS the worst education secretary of all time. Here in Middlesbrough we know this as she robbed our brightest kids of an Eton-standard education. Shame on her.
"I grew up on a council estate" is not an excuse for failure. You are sacrificing the future of generations of kids on the altar of your class envy -reversing even Labour's academy reforms. 0% of teachers think you're doing a great job. I'm not here to give you a pat on the
