Clearly a sign that Reform UK, and these two in particular, recognise the distress in which their Party finds itself as it continues to slip in the polls. Why else would you stage your own Budget Response press conference in front of two Union Flags flying upside down? 🤨

I am delighted that David Thompson has been selected as our Prospective Parliamentary Candidate for Maidstone & Malling and, I hope, my successor as the Member of Parliament for this wonderful constituency. He has the work ethic, integrity and Conservative values needed to continue standing up for local people and addressing the issues that matter most to residents, including excessive housebuilding, illegal immigration and ensuring infrastructure keeps pace with development. My own selection in 2008 gave me valuable time to prepare for the responsibilities of parliamentary and constituency life, and it is only right and fair that David has the same opportunity. I will give him my full support as he engages on the campaign trail with the people, businesses, organisations and community groups that make #Maidstone and #Malling such a special place. Being the Member of Parliament since 2010 has been the honour of my life. I remain fully committed to serving my constituents until I leave office and look forward to supporting David as he builds on everything we have achieved together over the years. @Conservatives @KentTories

I’m in Edinburgh and being asked a lot of questions about ITV’s Reform expose. The reported comments show yet again why we’re not doing deals with Reform. We want Reform voters back, not Reform politicians. Reform voters are being let down by the people who claim to represent them. Many of these people were the ones who let them down in the Conservative Party. We are now under new management. These people caused a lot of problems and is why I say Nigel Farage has been doing my spring cleaning. These problems will keep coming for Reform. Just as Farage is being investigated, so is Robert Jenrick, and so is Richard Tice. These problems will never end because of the kind of people they are - they don’t care about high standards of conduct. That is why I am showing those voters who want to defeat Labour but left the Conservative Party that it’s time to come home. We are under new management, and you deserve better than this.

London needs more than an administrator. It needs a champion, someone who understands its potential and is prepared to fight for its future. That’s why I’m running to be the Conservative Candidate for London Mayor. thetimes.com/comment/columni…

Quite a surreal moment in the channel with the Shadow Home Sec - as the French patrol vessel came within 300m of our boat and shot down towards their stern (Back of their boat) Photos of the french boat appear to show a small handgun aimed towards the sea Around 17 shots fired
On the channel today monitoring illegal migrant crossings … as I was being interviewed by the BBC just now a French warship approached close and fired 17 live rounds behind us. There was no notice or training exercise in place. Felt like warning shots or attempted intimidation

Speaking to voters in Cliftonville today. A lot of support for our brilliant candidate Charlie Leys, and we also found a lot of anti-Farage sentiment, from people of all persuasions. April 9th is the big day and we hope that locals will back Charlie and #VoteConservative

There was a time when the Leader of @Kent_cc (Britain's largest County Council) started a meeting with the words, "Good Morning". Last Thursday, we faced this. Some might find it amusing. I think most Kent residents will find it vulgar or even offensive.

Today in Kent: Reform UK councillors voted themselves an above inflation and above recommendation pay rise 💴 Overruled their own legal officer 📜 Silenced opposition voices 🔇 Ignored Electoral Commission guidance ⚖️ And rammed through a political stunt during purdah 🚫🗳️ If you have to gag democracy to win an argument, you’ve already lost it.

(1/5) This afternoon all 5 opposition parties at Kent CC walked out of the Chamber in protest at ReformUKs gagging of democracy. Against advice and guidance of the Electoral Commission, independent Constitutional Barristers and the Council's own Monitoring Officer, ReformUK

NO Lynden. You are lying again. The Conservative Party at Kent CC actually resolved to support your motion, provided you did not revert to racist language. What we (and others) did was to seek clarification from the Electoral Commission if your motion was legal under...

Brilliant day at the @KentTories Conference. Huge credit to the team behind it. The energy from members was focused, determined and ready to win. Great to join a panel chaired by @IainDale on life inside Downing Street, sharing stories from behind the Big Black Door.

Yesterday I braved the Margate sea fog to deliver our petition calling on Reform UK at KCC to reverse their terrible spending priorities. This is ahead of the Cliftonville by-election for our great candidate Charlie Leys. Part of a big @KentTories effort to win back the seat 💪💪

Today at #PMQs the Prime Minister has again suffered an evisceration courtesy of @KemiBadenoch. This is Kemi demonstrating true leadership for our nation, which is rightfully outraged by the scandal surrounding interest rates on student loans, and the crisis of youth unemployment. For all the talk from the Prime Minister about wanting a fairer system for students and graduates, the Labour Government have offered no proposals to achieve that. The interest on loans must be capped to RPI to create a fairer system for graduates and to challenge the colossal injustice of unfair, crippling interest rates that hike up loans obtained in pursuit of higher education and, ultimately, greater opportunities. Unlike the government, the @Conservatives have a plan to ease the burden on hundreds of thousands of graduates.
Why is the Prime Minister taking from students to give to benefits street?

This is @CllrKieran Three weeks ago he sat next to his Nan on her sofa and told @bbclaurak of his unrequited love for @LeaderofKCC and @Nigel_Farage Less than a month later he quits and joins Restore Britain. How can anyone take these people seriously?

The student loan debt trap is unfair. It traps graduates into repayments that do nothing to pay the cost of their loans. So the next Conservative Government will cap the interest at inflation. Part 1 of our New Deal for Young People. spkl.io/6014AvT0Q
