"Today's #GDP growth figures are still a long way from @Keir_Starmer's target of 2.5% and it is far from clear that we are heading in the right direction."

"Labour are promising to be the fastest-growing country in the G7. And our growth forecast is 2% or less every single year of this parliament? Yeah, good luck with that."

"The economy is expected to grow by just over 1 per cent this year, rising to 2 per cent in 2025."

Research shows that "deep alignment with the EU on goods and services will deliver 2.2% economic growth to the UK."

"Closer ties with the EU could deliver growth of up to 2.2%. Clawing back up to half the damage caused by Brexit."

"The way things are going, just a year in — I genuinely think he will leave. I think he will be forced out."

"Starmer might have to go in months."

"I don't think he will survive a year [as prime minister]."

"Of course [he will be prime minister till 2029]."

Peter Mandelson resigned from the Labour Party on May 4, 2025, stating he did not wish to cause further embarrassment to the party following revelations about his links to Jeffrey Epstein. In a letter to Labour's general secretary, he said allegations of financial payments from Epstein 20 years ago needed investigating.

In a letter to Labour's general secretary, he said allegations of financial payments from Epstein 20 years ago needed investigating.

Documents released by the US Department of Justice suggest Epstein made three separate $25,000 payments totaling $75,000 to accounts linked to Mandelson between 2003 and 2004. Mandelson told the BBC he had no recollection of the payments and did not know whether the documents were genuine.

Emails released by the DOJ appear to show Mandelson told Epstein in 2009 that he was trying hard to water down a tax on bank bonuses while serving as business secretary. Mandelson said his conversations reflected the views of the financial sector as a whole, not a single individual.

The latest tranche of documents contains an image of Mandelson in his underwear standing next to a woman whose face was obscured by US authorities. Mandelson told the BBC he cannot place the location or the woman and cannot think what the circumstances were.

Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch called on Prime Minister Keir Starmer to suspend Mandelson's membership and launch an investigation into his ties to Epstein. A Conservative Party spokesman criticized Starmer for allowing Mandelson to resign instead of expelling him from the party.
