What growth?
WHEN Labour took office, Keir Starmer and Rachel Reeves promised to deliver “the most pro-business Government this country has ever seen”.
So, how’s that going?

Leaked WhatsApps from Cabinet minister Darren Jones to Peter Mandelson reveal he had no confidence in his own Chancellor Credit: PA
Leaked WhatsApps to Peter Mandelson from Cabinet minister Darren Jones — who has been de facto deputy to both Starmer and Reeves — reveal he had no confidence in his own Chancellor.
We have already seen messages from Wes Streeting saying Labour has had no growth plan.
Now the boss of UK-founded microchip giant Arm — one of the world’s biggest companies and worth £324billion — says he can’t invest more in “too cautious” Britain.
The chairman of M&S says the UK has rarely in history been “less friendly to growth”.

And the CBI lambasts Reeves for treating companies like “a cash tap” and warns the country is approaching a tipping point on tax.
Far from turbo-charging the economy, Labour has wrongly decided tax is the solution to everything — and that “profit” is a dirty word.
Defend us
DELUDED Labour MPs are trumpeting the handing out of ten million “free” school breakfasts — paid for, of course, by a dwindling band of taxpayers.
Meanwhile, the Prime Minister is preparing to sell short the vital defence of the realm.
Keir Starmer is apparently ready to cut his much-heralded boost in defence spending from £18billion to £15billion.
Former Nato commander General Sir Richard Shirreff describes that as “really, really stupid” and a senseless gift to Putin.
He’s not wrong. Yet if this cut goes ahead Britain would find itself, unprecedentedly, at the BOTTOM of the Nato league table for defence investment.
That’s a shameful legacy for a PM who has repeatedly insisted he will do whatever it takes to defend these islands.
Clueless
NOTHING ever changes.
The Home Office hasn’t been fit for purpose for two decades.
For years it has failed to keep track of who and how many people are breaking into the country.
Yet another shocking report has been produced by MPs, condemning a system so broken that officials have no clue how many failed asylum seekers have disappeared and are still in Britain.
For the privilege of being kept in the dark about which unvetted men are still at large among them, British taxpayers are being fleeced for £4.9billion a year.
MPs are demanding answers. But such is the incompetence in Whitehall they are unlikely to ever receive them.
