  • Transport Secretary Mark Harper has insisted the party will continue delivering on its pledges and is focused on winning the general election.
    He told Trevor Phillips the working assumption is that an election will be in the second half of the year but he would not comment on suggestions the party should move even more to the right to salvage its election chances.

    The Tories spent 2 years on a failed Rwanda policy to play to their base & have done nothing to actually help the British people, that’s why they’re losing

Also very pleased that he felt the need to re- emphasise that once or twice to make sure we knew. The British people are happy to support that effort by allowing 50% of their councillors, Several Mayors and candidates for Westminster to devote their energies to making that happen without the encumbrance of being elected representatives of anyone. Fantastic work.

    This is no ordinary father and son relationship; Charles, as king, has responsibilities to the institution of the monarchy and to the country. He is at a fork in the road and whatever decision Charles makes could potentially have long term consequences for the future of his other son and the grandchildren he actually sees, knows well and who feature regularly in his life. All that vs. a dangerously resentful and petulant Harry? Should be no contest in my view.
