Our rally for the countryside at #CPC25, bringing together farmers, councillors, and campaigners who care about rural Britain. There’s a new energy in the Conservative Party, focused on fixing what’s gone wrong. It’s time to fix the countryside crisis. 🌾🇬🇧

“Kemi Badenoch is the only leader starting to glimpse the truth. She has talked of simplifying the tax code, slimming the welfare state, cutting debt”……“she is also getting serious about immigration.” Welcome to the @Conservatives, @matthewsyed 👍🏻

Kemi Badenoch was on point at #PMQs. A year of Labour, a year of failure. Keir Starmer is too weak to get anything done.

The Conservative Party believes the country should live within its means. This truth cannot be avoided. Keir Starmer doesn't know what he believes, so it is mistake after mistake, u-turn after u-turn. With no plan to get people into work, no plan to cut spending...no strategy.

In Tajikistan, beards are banned by the government. Yet it's the UK that's the joke country in this story.

Yes we opposed it. It’s a TERRIBLE policy. It has forced schools to shut, sending 1000s of pupils into state schools that are now struggling for space, teachers and money you didn’t account for. And you said 'every penny' would go into state schools... but now it’s housing?
Replying to @Keir_Starmer
In the budget last year, my government made the tough but fair decision to apply VAT to private schools. The Tories opposed it. Reform opposed it. Today, because of that choice, we have announced the largest investment in affordable housing in a generation.

Here is an extraordinary government claim. Of £13.8bn of efficiency savings it is promising each year by 2028/9, health and social care is promising to provide more than £9bn of them. Is that credible? The second biggest promiser of efficiency gains is defence

Your council tax is going up. The potholes are getting worse. Why? Because councils aren’t really in control of their budgets. Until we fix the funding formula and address social care, local govt will continue to fail council taxpayers @thetimes thetimes.com/life-style/prop…

What kind of man includes Take That but not The Stone Roses? #ResignNow #NotMyPresident
Take That, Joy Division, New Order and now The BRITs. Great to see Manchester’s music legacy continue as they take centre stage and host the BRIT Awards for the very first time.

‘My government has fixed the foundations of our economy’ 🤝 ‘From now on, the pound abroad is worth 14% or so less in terms of other currencies. That doesn’t mean, of course, that the pound here in Britain, in your pocket or purse or in your bank, has been devalued.’
The Tories left us with a £22 billion black hole. My government has fixed the foundations of our economy. We now have the highest growth in the G7, four interest rate cuts, and we have signed three trade deals to protect jobs and put more money in your pockets. The economy is improving, and I want you to feel that in your day-to-day lives – that is why we are expanding eligibility for the winter fuel allowance.

‘Sunak had already announced many of these projects, only for Labour to pause funding’ 🤔
More proof that "Treasury brain" was just "Tory brain" all along. Turns out, having politicians in office who actually want to sort out our economic decline & regional disparities really does matter. bbc.com/news/articles/c331ln…

When I blocked Kneecap from getting taxpayer cash, they sued. Labour refused to fight the case—and handed them £14,250 of your money. Now one of them’s been charged with terrorism offences. Labour owes the public an apology.
Kneecap: A man has been charged with a terrorism offence following an investigation by the Met’s Counter Terrorism Command. Liam O'Hanna, 27, (16.10.97) of Belfast has been charged, via postal requisition, with displaying a flag in support of Hizballah, a proscribed organisation, namely: On 21 November 2024, in a public place, namely the O2 Forum, Kentish Town, London, displayed an article, namely a flag, in such a way or in such circumstances as to arouse reasonable suspicion that he is a supporter of a proscribed organisation, namely Hizballah, contrary to section 13(1)(b) and (3) of the Terrorism Act 2000. Officers from the Met's Counter Terrorism Command were made aware on Tuesday, 22 April of an online video from the event. An investigation was carried out, which led to the Crown Prosecution Service authorising the above charge. O'Hanna is due to appear at Westminster Magistrates' Court on Wednesday, 18 June.

The Great Carbon Rip-off The UK's planned alignment with EU-ETS is a grave economic mistake that will hit every household and business. Higher carbon prices will drive up electricity costs, fuel inflation, and by 2027, increase heating and transport costs. 🧵

The Tory performance is clearly dire, potentially catastrophic. But, remarkably, Labour’s even worse in its own way. Labour was defending seats it won in 2021, when it performed appallingly (Starmer almost resigned it was so bad). So defending from a very low base. And yet it still managed to lose around two-thirds of its seats! Amazing.
With 19 of 23 councils declared, the results in seats: Reform 606 (+606) Lib Dems 356 (+151) Conservative 287 (-605) Independent 83 (-23) Labour 82 (-168) Green 74 (+42)
