Saqib Bhatti MP

While the world is focussed on the events of the Middle East, these are just three of the stories from Keir Starmer’s government in the last 24 hours.

🤯

A wonderful moment as we welcome a brand new addition to the family. Mum did so well, and a special thank you to the team at the midwife led Bluebell unit at Warwick Hospital.
His two older brothers are so proud of mum and baby.

I am, simply, bursting with love and joy.

I am saying the arguments about our economic demise due to Brexit are false. And I have given two examples why. The first because it is a Labour government that has driven us to this point, the second because being in the EU didn’t shield the largest economy in the European Union from recession

I was the tech minister who rejoined Horizon and other EU science programs - key is it was our choice. We negotiated to our benefit. Starmer will not.

Still here mate and loving the opportunity to say it to you. 😉

I have and I believe that to be a false argument - trade is higher, we are now part of CPTPP which represents 15% of global gdp and we maintained 98% of our relationship with the EU. Starmer will negotiate something that will cost us taxpayer’s money and sovereignty.

Unemployment is the highest it’s been since the last Labour government … under a new Labour government. Oh and btw Germany was in recession between 23-25 … Germany is in the EU

Yes plenty, you have inspired my next article. And it is short sighted to think sovereignty doesn’t have its own value albeit it would be harder to value but again that is why the 4% model is flawed.

What was your business?

Saqib Bhatti: Brexit didn’t cost us 4 per cent, but Labour will argue it did anyway | Conservative Home Starmer’s attacks on Brexit and its impact on the economy are as predictable as they are risible. If we want an honest conversation about growth, productivity, and our place in the world we must not l...

A desperate Keir Starmer will argue anything to save himself including that Brexit cost us 4% and in the process will diminish our sovereignty.

The latest Knowledge is Power is out - Starmer on the Brink

Am really enjoying these roundups - hope you do too!

A much more relevant poll would be what percentage of the British public think Keir Starmer should resign.

His only incentive is to save himself and if you believe otherwise, I have a bridge to sell you.

Almost like I predicted it 👇👇

A flailing Prime Minister will do anything including undermine our sovereignty to save his own premiership.

Any Labour MP who thinks McSweeney going will change anything is deluding themselves.

Remember Starmer said last week HE knew about Mandelson’s relationship with Epstein and went ahead anyway.

The rot starts at the top.

The latest Knowledge is Power discusses exactly this 👇👇👇

Knowledge is Power: Epstein, Mandelson and Starmer’s Flawed judgement. When I decided to start this series, my intention was to give a download of what has been going on in Parliament to help shine some light on what we do and why we do what we do.

“Reeves under pressure to duck out of giving Spring Statement to avoid unsettling the financial markets”. As worrying as this statement is, surely a Chancellor doing a runner is not a great vote of confidence in their own economic management. Just a thought. 🤯🤯🤯

www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/202...

Yes 🙂 perfect target audience open to rational arguments about making the country better and not being led up the garden path by Starmer….

Keir Starmer's 'abject failures' to blame for closer ties to EU COMMENT: Keir Starmer's attempts to cosy up to EU branded "red herring" by Tory MP backing Express's Brexit crusade.

Brexiteers Assemble!

As Starmer gets more and more desperate he will drag us closer to the European Union to distract from his shambolic leadership.

We must not let him - read my piece in the Express👇👇

Labour minister ordered intelligence reports on journalists Exclusive: Material gathered was personally given to Josh Simons when chair of pro-Starmer thinktank, say sources

What could possibly go wrong?😑

The buck stops with the Prime Minister.

Operation Save Starmer will be in full swing today. Mcsweeney - PM’s chief of staff is at the heart of all the bad decisions Starmer has made including Mandelson’s appointment.

Ultimately though Starmer is answerable

David Cameron is right - Labour’s education reforms are putting our children’s futures in peril.

Keir Starmer and Bridget Phillipson’s attempts to appease their trade union paymasters will lower standards and will leave Britain trailing the rest of he world 🥀

This week’s Knowledge is Power is now out!

An update on Starmer’s trip to China, Chagos, government’s new policing are and the Children’s Wellbeing and Schools bill 👇

Why the Schools Bill remains a threat to a thriving sector The Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill has been stuck in Parliament for a year and yet key problems remain within the legislation, argues Meg Powell-Chandler

An eloquent analysis of how the schools bill will harm opportunities and chances for our children and hurt the teaching profession at the same time.

Labour’s approach embodies the soft bigotry of low expectations - our children deserve better!

www.tes.com/magazine/ana...

Bad law is still bad law, no matter the objective. Trying to force it through, to avoid scrutiny, is just proof that its proponents know how flawed it is.

Ultimately it is the British public who are at risk if this goes through without the proper scrutiny.

Our young people deserve better than this Labour government.

700,000 graduates are out of work and claiming one or more benefits because Reeves broke the Jobs Market.

The Conservatives will end 'debt trap’ degrees, double apprenticeship funding and Get Britain Working Again.

On Holocaust Memorial Day,we remember the six million Jewish men, women and children murdered by the Nazis,and all those persecuted through hatred and intolerance. I was humbled to sign the Book of Condolence in memory of the victims and ensure that we stand against antisemitism.

Always a tweet

Knowlege is Power While the domestic agenda continues to be packed it is foreign policy that has dominated the headlines this week.

Week 3 of Knowledge is Power is live.

From National Insurance to online safety, Chagos, protecting our churches, and Donald Trump’s comments on our Armed Forces, 2026 is anything but quiet.

Politics is about choices. I set out the consequences.
