Standing in for Mark Littlewood, Andrew Allison, Head of Campaigns of Popular Conservatism looks back at a year of chaos. 

Today, as I am sure you are aware, marks the first anniversary of Labour's landslide victory in the 2024 general election. What a year it has been - and I don't mean that in a good way. 

All of us on the right of politics knew that Labour was going to be bad, but I don't think that any of us predicted a year ago that it was going to be this bad. 

Talk (formerly TalkTV) will be airing a programme this evening at 9.00 pm called, "One Year of Chaos". And what a year of chaos it really has been.

Whatever your views are about the Winter Fuel Allowance for pensioners, the one thing we can agree on is that Labour said nothing about the means testing of this benefit when it asked voters to elect it to power this time last year. 

We didn't hear a squeak from them about the Chagos Islands.

Nor was there any mention about changes to inheritance tax for farmers - indeed we were only told that there wouldn't be any tax increases for working people. In her Budget last autumn, Rachel Reeves raised taxes by £40 billion which of course affects working people.

Same old tax and spend Labour. A leopard never changes its spots. 

Then there are the events of this past week which can only be described as chaos. The Prime Minister has received the epithet of "in office but not in power" in record time as Labour backbench MPs showed who really is in control. They know that if they exert enough pressure in future on anything they disagree with, Starmer will capitulate. 

And then there was Prime Minister's Questions which wasn't dominated by the exchanges between Starmer and Badenoch. It wasn't dominated by any exchanges in the Commons chamber. No, it was Rachel Reeves who made the front pages of Thursday's newspapers. We are told that it was due to personal reasons she cried from beginning to end. What a shambles! 

We are probably in the dying days of this Labour Government, but unfortunately for the British people, this is going to be one of the longest political deaths in history lasting around four years. 

What must happen next is for those of us on the right to stop fighting amongst ourselves and take the fight to Labour. If it was as easy as that, it would have been done already, but at least we should have time to sort ourselves out. The one thing that unites us all is our desire to see the back of this hideous carbuncle of a Government! 

Keep fighting for freedom!
