🌳The Conservative are under new management.

🌳Only business creates growth - not the state. It's high time Labour learnt this basic lesson - let @MelJStride teach them

Five years on from Brexit we are at last saving the £12 bn a year of our net contributions. More importantly we are not being burdened with a share of the interest and debt repayments on the Euro 800 bn of new EU borrowing.

At the time of the Chancellor's Budget, I said

“She's asking for an extra £40bn in taxes from the British people…and I worry very deeply that their good money is going to be poured into the public sector and benefits without any noticeable improvement in public services. And… https://x.com/i/web/status/1884908562457186494

Rachel Reeves does not know where money comes from. Neither does Keir Starmer.

They think they'll create growth by taxing people who don't vote for them - farmers, business, the elderly. It's completely mad.

We need a government that delivers for all, not just its own voters.

It’s the natural reactions that are the most revealing.

At the growth-destroying Budget, Labour MPs waved their Order Papers with utter glee.

When told that it’s the trade unions that benefit most from the Unemployment Bill, they all spontaneously cheered.

"She would have seen the amendment that was put down this morning" - in fact no amendment was put down that morning & it still hasnt been put down. Misleading the house!

Today marks 80 years since the end of the Holocaust and the Liberation of the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp.

Last week I signed the Holocaust Educational Trust's Book of Commitment and was blessed to meet Eve Kugler, whose family was torn apart by the Nazis.

Remarkably,… https://x.com/i/web/status/1883822193827873188

📘REVERSE LIBRARY CUTS📘

Havering Council are closing 3 libraries to save just £288k. Despite a fully funded plan to save and improve the libraries by the Conservatives, the council is going ahead.

You can sign our petition to save the libraries at https://www.haveringconservatives.org.uk/reverse-library-cuts

Normally big corporates hold back from explicitly criticising government policies, and opt for nuanced grumbling if they're unhappy.

Just now, Sainsbury's has emailed all MPs to say they're facing major new headwinds from gov policy, esp extra NICs. So job cuts are coming.… https://x.com/i/web/status/1882399961347932387

@KemiBadenoch @Conservatives Let’s take a moment to reflect on what’s happened here.

Today, thanks to the work of the Conservative Party in opposition, Labour has been forced to amend their disastrous schools bill. This is a clear example of how an effective opposition can deliver results, even with limited… https://x.com/i/web/status/1882343668129890363

Kemi Badenoch says the Education Secretary is letting “trade unions run her department”.

Privately there are senior figures in the Labour Party who agree…

Labour punished poor pensioners, snatching away winter fuel payments due to poor means testing. We need better mechanisms, not proxies like pension credit or free school meals. So why are Labour, Reform, and Lib Dems pretending we're cancelling the triple lock? They're scared👇

The Conservative Party is changing.

We are under new leadership.

We are back in the service of the British people. And we are going to give you your country back.

These places have had decades to hold local inquiries and haven't.
In many cases local officials were part of the problem.
Labour are conceding that there's a massive problem - but still fighting a proper national inquiry
Why?

Later today, I will set out how the Conservative Party will rebuild trust with the British people.

Tune in to http://www.conservatives.com/news/kemi-rebuilding-trust-speech at 13.30 to watch.

Last night I met rape gang survivors from Oldham and Rotherham. Their stories were shocking and it reaffirmed my belief that none of the victims in this scandal will get justice until a national inquiry has uncovered the full truth of what happened, why and who was involved in…

Labour inherited the fastest growing economy in the G7. In 6 months they’ve
🔴taken Britain to the brink of recession
🔴the highest borrowing costs since 2008, (highest since 1998 for 30yr-gilts) and
🔴mortgage rates are about to spike.

Keir Starmer and Rachel Reeves are…

The work done by previous Conservative and Labour governments to improve education standards is under threat.

Keir Starmer’s government is going to put a wrecking ball through our education system 👇

This is NOT POSSIBLE

For a public inquiry to mean anything it has to have the legal power to COMPEL witnesses and make them give evidence UNDER OATH

Without those powers people won’t turn up and victims won’t get the truth

This intervention from @hmtreasury is extraordinary.

When you have to issue emergency statements saying people should ‘be in no doubt’ about your commitment to fiscal responsibility, you are acknowledging that there are very significant doubts indeed.

Later today Labour MPs for places like Telford, Rochdale, Bristol, Derby, Bradford and dozens more will vote against a national inquiry into the gangs that systematically raped children in their constituencies.

Why do they think obeying Keir Starmer’s whip is more important…

Highest gilt yields in 27 years. Yet more evidence Labour have driven our economy into a ditch. They talked it down. They taxed the life out of it. They’ve racked up borrowing. They killed growth. Now we are all paying the price with higher inflation, fewer jobs and lower wages.

Rishi and Suella brought in a grooming gangs specialist taskforce which led to 550 arrests in its first year and helped to protect 4000 victims.

Rishi also brought in ethnicity data collection so we couldn’t hide from cultural sensitivities.

Both were widely criticised for…

The central failure of politics is politicians making easy promises instead of working hard on solutions. I refuse to repeat those mistakes.

I explain on the Today programme that
I want people to trust the Conservative Party again. Earning that trust requires more than a new…

Several residents got in touch last wk to support the campaign for better migration data -kicked off by ⁦@NeilDotObrien⁩

I backed that today in parliament and raised concern about the new government ending our reforms to limit council housing to long-term British residents

Imagine being asked a question about funding for Hospice care- care which is given when people are at their most vulnerable - and giving this aggressive, sneering answer. Astonishing.

Hospices, charities and the British public deserve better. #PMQs

St Francis Hospice is one of most important charities in Havering. Their extra tax bill from Budget is £340k

Health Sec said they’d announce support for hospices ahead of Christmas. Prime Minister at PMQs has just kicked this into the NY. This is a problem they’ve created and…

At the end of last week, I met a local business that runs after school clubs and holiday camps for kids - the kind so vital to making the family-job juggle work.

Labour's National Insurance hike from the Budget has created a right mess.

It is an honour and a privilege to have been elected to lead our great Conservative Party. A party that I love, that has given me so much.

Tax rises of £40 billion. Sometimes your natural reaction to something says it all...

In the Chamber, new Labour MPs cheered and flapped their Order Papers in glee as the Chancellor sat down. 'They'll come to regret that', I thought.

Masterful dismantling of the Chancellor's Budget by @RishiSunak

Labour has no mandate to promise the money of British taxpayers, who have never condoned or practised slavery, to foreign governments on the basis of inherited guilt.
