From the Times and the Sunday Times, this is the story. I'm Manvien Rana.

After the tumultuous omnischambles of the last few Tory governments, Labour had promised the electorate

a government of almost boring stability. But in 2025, that didn't quite go to

plan. Allies of Kirstama have privately accused UK health secretary. We're streeting of plotting

to replace the Prime Minister. Tax rises, tax rises tax. This is a tax bonanza of the likes that we have never really seen.

That was a really difficult watch.

It appeared to me that Rachel Reeves was crying.

For Labour, it was a year of big resignations.

Angela Rainer has resigned as Deputy Prime Minister and Housing Secretary.

And plummeting popularity.

A new survey by YouGov has found that just 17% of voters would back the Labour Party

if a general election were held today.

It's been a tricky year for the Tories too.

Danny Kruger has become the second sitting MP in the first this Parliament to defect

to reform UK.

And so this is my tragic conclusion.

The Conservative Party is over.

The flame is passing from one torch to another.

And 2025 appeared to be the year when two-party politics was finally over,

with all the attention being won by insurgent parties further along the spectrum on both the right and left.

The reform is now the largest membership political party in the United Kingdom.

My message to Labour is very clear.
