ITV captured a Reform councillor making an incestuous comment about a female candidate and discussing sexually assaulting another. If you’re willing to defend that behaviour, don’t pretend your priority is keeping women safe.

Labour don't believe that money you earn, or the property that you own, is really yours. If you leave property empty for 6 months, they'll let councils steal it. If you put money aside for your pension, they'll decide how it's invested. And now they're after your business.

Five years ago today, Sir David Amess was murdered while doing what he had done for almost 40 years: serving the people who elected him. He never stopped showing up for them. On the day his life was taken, he was there once again, listening and helping, just as he always had. Today we remember a much-loved colleague and friend. Above all, our thoughts are with his wife and children, who carry his loss every day.

If the Tories are so bad, why have you recruited literally all of the people who were in that government calling the shots?
A message to Conservative Party members gathering in Birmingham today. You are supporting a party that: ❌ Enabled net migration to reach almost ONE MILLION in a single year. ❌ Failed to tackle the grooming gangs scandal. ❌ Talked about austerity while annual government spending rose to £1.23 trillion and national debt more than doubled to £2.73 trillion. ❌ Left almost 71,000 Crown Court cases outstanding. ❌ Raised the tax burden to its highest level in over 70 years. ❌ Failed to invest adequately in our national defence. ❌ Left Britain’s energy security at the mercy of hostile powers. ❌ Failed to protect our borders. You are gathering to support a party that deceived you, enabled mass migration, weakened this country, failed working people and left our economy on the edge of a cliff.

Britain cannot afford to lose farmers and farmland and then assume that food security will somehow take care of itself. A country does not become food secure merely because its supermarkets are full today. Food security means having dependable access to food under normal circumstances and during disruption. It means retaining enough productive land, farming businesses, skills, infrastructure and processing capacity to maintain supplies when the world becomes less predictable. That distinction matters. And right now, the UK government is failing to recognise and address this. They are failing on farming and food security in the same way they are failing on energy security. Shameful.

The women and girls of Piddington deserve to feel safe and protected. That’s why @KemiBadenoch and I met with them to hear their concerns directly. Labour may not be listening. But we are - and we’ll keep listening.

The questions are still difficult. They’re just easier to answer when you: 🧠 use common sense 📚 do your homework 📝 have a plan… and actually give an honest answer! 😏
Interesting to hear both Lib Dem and Reform claiming that Kemi Badenoch isn’t asked any “difficult questions” by the press

Punishing Conservative-run councils. Hammering local taxpayers. It’s same old Labour. Glad that @KemiBadenoch is leading the fight back on this - and it’s one that we are glad to see has support throughout the Party.
The Labour government cut Wandsworth Council’s budget by 40%. It speaks volumes that Andy Burnham is happy to slash the funding for Conservative-run councils, but won’t touch the bloated welfare bill.

We must ban parties from campaigning in foreign languages. It's both divisive and dishonest. It fuels group-based grievance politics. And it prevents people from understanding what their would-be representatives are saying.

Lying by omission is still lying, Ben You conveniently forgot to mention that Burnham, Rayner and Co. have just changed the funding formula to raid Wandsworth (and other frugally-run councils) by £84m per annum or more We’re challenging this - you’re playing dumb games
Wandsworth's Conservative Council are planning a 94% Council Tax rise. NINETY FOUR PERCENT. An extra £1000 on people's bills. I'm the first to argue that local government is unsustainable on its current trajectory, but 94% is special. The biggest #CouncilTax rise EVER. And then blaming the government, when of course the previous Tory government did nothing about this either. Look forward to seeing the massive media outcry on this one! Assume @SkyNews will immediately be sending in under cover reporters? I imagine they're assembling a left wing panel of guests to slate them on Cathy Newman's show right now. What do you think!? 🤔 news.sky.com/story/wandswort…
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The council tax rise is being implemented in response to an £84m cut to the funding that Wandsworth Council receives from central government. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…
