Asked about working with Reform, the Tory leader said it would be up to local party leaders to “make the choice about what is right for their councils” after the local elections on May 1.

  • A real bonfire of the quangos means more ministers, more spads, and longer sitting hours for MPs

    2 weeks ago | conservativehome.com | Henry Hill

    Yesterday’s Sunday Times reported that “Starmer and Reeves plan to make a series of announcements this week going hell for leather to boost economic growth.” We can only believe it when we see it, I guess.
