I have had great people support me throughout my career. No one has been more important in my life than Susie. A genuine inspiration. dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1…

Labour are putting the interests of the Chinese state over fundamental British values. Keir Starmer’s Labour isn't prepared to face down China in defence of free speech.

Labour’s scrapping of investment in supercomputing and AI to fund pay rises for their union paymasters is all you need to know about their economic priorities. Keir is right. Things are going to get worse. He’s making sure of it! telegraph.co.uk/business/2024/…

The questions are mounting for Labour. In opposition they talked about integrity and service but five minutes in Government and they're already stacking the civil service with their supporters & mates, and giving donors all access passes to Number 10.

The issue with these civil service appointments isn't that it looks dodgy but that it undermines the long term apoltical professionalism that the civil service used to be renown for. Should there be a minimum period of time between being a member of a political party and the

So controversial view here I support the banning of smoking in kids parks. Not sure why the Government is choosing to go for smoking in pub gardens and outside football stadium. These are venues usually full of adults, if pubs want to have smoke free gardens they could do it

If we don't get young people engaged in the Conservative Party again we won't survive as a Party. It's that simple. As leader I will build a platform that resonates with young aspirational voters and gives them the opportunity to own a home and start a family of their own.

Whilst I appreciate Matts desire not to share a pub premises with Nigel Farage. It is a deep shame that the portfolio holder for culture and business is making light of the potential damage that a ban on smoking may do to our hospitality industry in Southend. My view is simply,

Not sure why someone enjoying themselves in their own time is a news story. If she was doing this instead of her official duties then yeah that would be wrong. I'm the last to stand up for Rayner, I believe she to be genuinely bad for british politics. But if she wants to

Labour this week: •⁠ ⁠Said things will get worse under their watch •⁠ All but confirmed tax rises are coming in October •⁠ ⁠Threatened pubs and hospitality businesses •⁠ ⁠Took down a photo of Britain’s first female PM Another good week of service 👍

This would be a dereliction of the first duty of government. Starmer should think again. thetimes.com/uk/defence/art…

I tried all I could to prevent the Reform Party being legitimised in #Southend sadly my efforts were thwarted. However, whilst now Tony Cox and Cllr Darryl Jones 🇬🇧 may officially be my political opponents I still know them to be good and passionate people. I have always said

This is how we can win👇

It's time to unite our Party.

A great colleague, formidable campaigner & a brilliant Conservative Home Secretary. Priti Patel MP has run a fantastic campaign and deserves huge credit for her hard work. She will be an integral part of the future of our Party.

Truly sad to learn of the death of a service personnel on a training session with HMS Queen Elizabeth Whilst I am relieved my brother was no directly involved in this incident it is truly heartbreaking to lose a member of the Royal Navy family and my thoughts and prayers are with the

Pleased this was passed. A shame we couldn't have done it 4 years ago when it was first proposed. Now it is important that this doesn't fizzle into nothing as previous special constables schemes have done. The administration needs to fight for it and I sincerely hope they do

Today I am shocked at a tweet going around from a Cllr apparently sharing an ablist picture. As someone who was registered blind for 10 years I will never tolerate ablism of any kind. People with disabilities face enough difficulties in their day to day lives to also be forced
