While there’s certainly no shortage of contenders, last week confirmed the gawking duo pictured here are among Labour’s biggest losers. The stench of hypocrisy from Deputy Prime Minister and Housing Secretary Angela Rayner as she is exposed as having three homes and swerving £40,000 of stamp duty in the process is overpowering, and seeing her floating on a dinghy in the sea close to her new £800,000 seafront apartment, it was tempting to hope the tides might change and take her safely across to France as a reverse asylum seeker.

Meanwhile, Energy Secretary and eco zealot Ed Miliband’s promise to cut our energy bills by £300 rings ever more hollow. The latest average rise, caused in part by expenditure to help reach the Net Zero target, means the energy price cap will be £187 higher than it was when Labour came to power. This ill-advised lunacy has resulted in our spending £815 million so far this year just to switch off wind farms. And this as gas prices have slumped by 25% this year.

The race industry jumped on a report last week that said children as young as four are being suspended from school for “racist behaviour.” But I’m not buying it. Yes, a four-year-old might repeat foul words they’ve picked up at home or elsewhere, but the suggestion they are aware of the immense hurt they can cause is absurd.

The buffoon blamed for Ed Miliband’s ‘Ed Stone’ election stunt in 2015 featuring an 8ft stone tablet engraved with Labour policies, is to be brought in to help draft Rachel Reeves’ next budget.

What could possibly go wrong?

Mentions of Meghan Markle are strictly rationed on this page. But the utter absurdity of a woman claiming all she wanted was privacy and the ability to live a normal life to now tell us via a Netflix TV show she doesn’t like wearing flesh-coloured tights is beyond parody.

The Chancellor is reported to be looking at taxing landlords by applying National Insurance on rental income, in part because it won’t break their election promise of raising taxes on working people. Is she so financially inept she can’t work out the increases will simply be passed straight on to the tenants?
