Keir Starmer's calamity-prone pal Lord Hermer must resign for good of UK

I'm, sorry but I'm afraid I have no time for these junior doctors who are once again threatening strike action. They've been offered a rise of 5.4%, the highest offer in the public sector - nurses and other staff have been offered 3.6%. And yet they are still balloting for strike action.

Nor do I have any sympathy for , Labour's smarmy Health Secretary, who was so keen to court them in opposition that they now have him over a barrel.

Streeting is literally begging them not to strike. I'm afraid begging won't work. He has made his () bed and so he will now have to lie in it. Unfortunately, we will be the ones left to pick up the tab... again!

Labour's Attorney General, Lord Hermer, goes from bad to worse. Not only has he had to apologise for comparing calls to leave the ECHR with the rise of Nazism, but his latest loony clanger has been declining to review "unduly lenient" sentences given to a paedophile, a rapist and a terrorist fundraiser when all three criminals got a lesser sentence than Lucy Connolly did for her ill-judged tweet.

To make matters worse, it was Hermer who signed off on the prosecution of Connolly. This is on top of his involvement with the Chagos Islands deal and representing Gerry Adams. He is reportedly a close long-standing friend of Starmer. If that's the case them Hermer should resign. Starmer is making a big enough pig's ear of things without his calamity-prone pal making things even worse for him.

The barmy Labour prison reforms could be the single biggest mistake Starmer makes in an already strong field. I'm not sure if everyone has yet fully grasped the enormity of these sentencing changes. Each year around 78,000 criminals are sent to jail.

Under Labour's plans of not sending anyone to prison for less than a year, 43,000 of those will no longer be locked up. This is utter madness which will lead to a crime spree as more and more criminals are free to roam the streets.

How can Labour ever again say they are the party of the working class when it is precisely those people who they will be letting down the most with these ludicrous and dangerous proposals? The silent majority mustn't remain silent about this.

Beyoncé's latest music tour is about to hit the UK. I saw her last one, and it was the most perfect performance I have ever seen. It's that perfection that has led her to becoming, with her husband Jay-Z, music's first billionaire couple.

Today they're worth about $3 billion. To put that in context, Taylor Swift, another musical phenomenon, is worth a mere $1.6 billion. So it's surprising this tour's reportedly been a bit slow in selling, so take my advice and get yourself a ticket. I promise that you won't regret it.

At a recent meeting with farmers in Cheshire, I could hardly believe my ears when I was told the National Trust is looking to turn 250,000 hectares of agricultural land into wildlife-friendly landscape, and to do so by taking almost all the land from its 1,300 tenant farmers. What a load of tosh. How out of touch has the National Trust charity become to put climate change virtue-signalling before the livelihoods of its tenant farmers, and the nation's food supply?
