I back Rishi Sunak to be our next PM. He has the plan & credibility to:
🔹restore financial stability, help get inflation down & deliver sustainable tax cuts over time; and
🔹unite the Conservatives by bringing the best talent into govt to deliver for the British people.

Great to have Esher Farmers Market back today, on the High Street - well done Kay Stewart ⁦Audley Chaucer Solicitors⁩ and Lucy Roshier ⁦Killik & Co⁩ at the Esher Chamber of Commerce for all their efforts. Great range of sausages, game, cheese, gin & much more on offer!

It is with deepest sadness we learned that Patrick Wylde passed away on Friday. He was a committed & valued member of our Association & will be greatly missed. 
His death at such a young age is a terrible shock for us all & our thoughts & prayers are with his family & friends.

Great to visit East Molesey businesses with ⁦Cllr Steve Bax⁩ - checking in on new retailers, and getting feedback from longstanding businesses on the High Street.

Another successful new member event this evening welcoming those who have recently joined us. Over 100 new members so far this year! Conservatives.com/join

Terrific to visit HeathsideWalton today to see how staff & pupils are settling into the temporary site following its opening in September. It was great to see classes in action, and check in on the progress of the main site. Thanks to Anne Callum and Johnny Clark for the tour.

Brokey left us a year ago today. A kind, brilliant, compassionate, thoughtful, funny and wise politician, boss and friend who I miss every day. #TeamBrokeyForever

My thanks to Simon Lewis PMW for hosting, and Kay Stewart Audley Chaucer Solicitors for Chairing this morning’s Esher Chamber of Commerce meeting - great turnout, lots of ideas including new Farmers Market on Sat 15th October. Please support it, if you can get down.

An important step towards CPTPP accession, a great boost for trade, and an important part of the wider UK strategy to engage more in a region that will present a disproportionate amount of the opportunities & challenges we face over the medium and longer terms.

Thank you cllr ⁦Mary Sheldon⁩ for joining me in Hersham this week, popping in on the Community Centre, and local shops - to discuss cost of living, plans to re-develop Hersham village centre, and hear from local retailers.

Great to meet you, David.

Inspirational to meet with Leah Chowdhry from Oxshott today. Leah is the first British Asian woman to swim the Channel and has written children’s book, Making a Splash, about her journey. All proceeds to Cancer Research UK, you can buy your copy👇

Sunny afternoon in Lower Green yesterday, alongside Amanda Manship and our local team. Good response to our local residents’ survey. I also dropped by the Community Centre, meeting residents and getting feedback on issues with PA Housing - on which I will follow up.

Very disappointing that the Elmbridge Libdems have put a luxury car above the safety of local children at this evening’s council meeting
✅ £32,000 for a mayor's car
❌ £15,000 for saving drowning children

Gutted. My proposal for free swimming for kids in school holidays to prevent more tragic drownings was voted down by Lib Dems and most RA councillors. Never before have I left a council meeting so furious. SurreyLive

Great to drop into Abel Karate🥋to congratulate double Para Commonwealth champion, Joseph Clifton from Claygate. Joseph won two gold medals🏅🏅at the Para Commonwealth Karate Championships in Birmingham. Well done Joseph & Sensei Paul 👏

A pleasure to attend the rededication of Stoke d’Abernon Memorial Park alongside the Cobham British Legion and Rev Phe Pamphilon-Green. My thanks to Ian Nelson and Stoke d’Abernon RA for organising the planting of replacement trees after discovering it is a war memorial site.

Back down to Cobham High Street this morning, to dock in with local businesses - useful feedback on footfall, business rates & commercial rents.
