Quite a raucous atmosphere at Eton v Harrow - the last annual match they are scheduled to play at Lord’s. I’ll be canvassing opinions on this controversial matter

A series of bad calls, and backing the strikers over the strivers this week shows that Starmer is definitely not on your side.

It’s fantastic to have secured Stan for the season ahead after he grew from strength to strength in his debut season having stepped up from the academy.

Well done Stan!

God Save the Queen! @stmaryshitchin_ @diostalbans https://twitter.com/Chris41863802/status/1533436079075909632

Such a joy to celebrate the Platinum Jubilee with joyful music, reading from @BimAfolami and heartfelt words from Bishop Graeme Knowles CVO @stmaryshitchin_ https://youtu.be/4_ERb_30BLA @diostalbans

Here’s me and the neighbours getting into the swing of things in Harpenden, Herts at our street party tonight! #platinumjubilee  🇬🇧 🫅

Well! We can thoroughly recommend the new film Top Gun Maverick.
The most enjoyable and fun film in absolutely ages. 🎥 🍿

Without our tireless volunteers, the @Conservatives wouldn’t be the most successful electoral force in the world.

They are the backbone of our party, and this #VolunteersWeek I pay tribute to them 👏

Tragic news of the passing of Keith Warren yet another great @HitchinTownFC and @HitchinTownYFC volunteer and supporter to be lost. My thoughts and prayers are with John his father, Sarah his wife and Matthew his son at this sad time. My deepest sympathy and condolences to you 🙏🏻

Great read from ⁦@Ameet_Jogia⁩ On Harrow ⬇️

“People who have come to this country for a better start… who aspire to get on, work hard & act as advocates for education, family, entrepreneurship, & law and order. These are Conservative shared values” https://www.conservativehome.com/localgovernment/2022/05/ameet-jogia-let-us-replicate-our-success-in-harrow-across-the-country.html

Make sure you are calling this #May to help us win in #TivertonandHoniton & #Wakefield for our two local champions. Also come meet @SelaineSaxby who'll also be on the 📞📲 #Ring2Win https://twitter.com/pennyanneod/status/1530504817906524160

Whilst @Conservatives are helping people with the cost of living @SadiqKhan is punishing drivers to bring in a whopping £450m to City Hall coffers.

London drivers can you afford Labour? 🥀

Yesterday @BimAfolami VC for Youth & MP @gregsmith_uk visited @UoBCons & @UniOfBuckingham

We discussed #buildingbackfairer that means 👉 creating more 💼 through new innovation, supporting our future leaders & creating more opportunities for young people to start a #business 🙏

Biological sex *is* real and stories like the one below are deeply concerning. Coming hard on the heels of the aggressive intolerance displayed at the Pankhurst statue, it is time to draw up a line in defence of both free speech and the rights of women. https://twitter.com/thetimes/status/1526465489060634624

I should also have credited @Transgendertrd who have helped bring this to light (and for tireless work more generally). More here: https://www.transgendertrend.com/transgender-ideology-in-schools/

Girl ‘driven out of school for questioning trans ideology’. “She was surrounded by up to 60 girls who shouted, screamed, swore and spat at her”. Well done to Times’ Education editor for covering this. We REALLY need a national conversation about this

Britain’s first nuclear power station in a generation, Hinkley Point C, is under construction.

We are in negotiations to develop its sister project, Sizewell C, in Suffolk.

To meet our new 24GW nuclear target, we're going to progress up to 8 more reactors this decade 🇬🇧👇🏾

Zelenskyy: “The other democratic countries of west should follow the example of the United Kingdom.” 🇺🇦🇬🇧

Rishi Sunak is a decent, hard-working, smart and honest man. We are lucky to have him working so high up in our government.

We're going to generate and produce more energy in Britain.

More wind, more solar, more nuclear, more hydrogen - while maximising North Sea production.

More energy on accelerated timescales.

Our Energy Security Strategy tomorrow is our plan for greater energy independence.

In this morning's @timesredbox, CEN MP @markjenkinsonmp explains why net zero is fundamentally a conservative mission, which Conservative MPs are firmly behind.

Super panel discussion with new MPs @SarBritcliffeMP @Stuart4WolvesSW @Matt_VickersMP interviewed by @BimAfolami at the #CPSC22. Real lives, real regional accents and real examples of community focused public service in action. Great and refreshing!

With more to come make sure you are at the Galleon Bar - this evening YCs to hear @BimAfolami speech on Building Back Fairer and how we engage with the future of the @Conservatives https://twitter.com/SamiBartlettUK/status/1504804349897285639

Thanks to brilliant speakers @GregHands @ELPinchbeck Gillian Cooper @CAenergypolicy @BimAfolami @darrenpjones for their comments at our reception today! All were clear that the case for renewables has never been stronger 🌎

“If a quarter of our power wasn’t already coming from renewables, your bills would be even higher today than they are already.”
Excellent by ⁦@BorisJohnson⁩ in today’s Telegraph

I hope every teenage girl who thinks she is really a boy and that surgically removing her breasts will make her happy, reads this. And I hope the surgeons responsible do so too. https://twitter.com/TaniaAMarshall/status/1502493438574579713

'the law depends on language, and people who pretend to strategic idiocy about the natural and ordinary meanings of words really have no business being lawmakers'. Vg by @sarahditum 2/2 https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/what-is-a-woman-dont-try-asking-labour-59hwqhdbv

I'm extremely disappointed too. You have my full backing and support. https://twitter.com/_Lisa_Townsend/status/1501218872229343233

Morals and markets need not and should not be mutually exclusive he says @BimAfolami the world is watching the City of London

For as long as we depend on oil and gas – wherever it is from - we are all vulnerable to Putin’s malign influence on global markets.

Now more than ever we must focus on generating cheaper, cleaner power in Britain, for Britain.
