Labour government preferred ideology over children's education, says councillor (opens the original)
Read excerpt
For 27 years, education in Wales has been at the mercy of the Labour government, more concerned about ideology than ensuring that our children have the literacy and mathematical skills needed to function in society. It will surprise no one that Wales trails significantly behind England, Scotland, and Northern Ireland in all core subjects. The latest international education figures reveal a sharp drop in reading and mathematics standards. Our children are being let down and deserve better. A coun
John Healey delays defence spending rise after calling for 3 GDP increase (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Our new chancellor of the exchequer, John Healey, boldly proclaimed that he resigned as minister of defence to protest his government's woeful lack of defence spending, arguing that the UK is under threat and must urgently increase defence spending by 3 per cent of GDP.

'We need an election not a coronation' as another new prime minister is to start (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The UK is turning into a banana republic where prime ministers are routinely changed without the people having a say. When the Tories changed leader, Labour MPs and Mr Burnham called for an election, yet Mr Burnham will become prime minister without a mandate, having nominated himself for the job without setting out any policies. The media have failed to ask Mr Burnham what he is going to do to lower taxes and grow the economy. UK taxes are at a 70-year high, £78 billion extra since 2024. How wi
