SHOCKING: Labour Minister thinks beer, black labs and pubs are a 'very far-Right nostalgic vision of Britain’ that ‘we don’t want to have’

It is a huge honour to become Shadow Chancellor for the party I joined as a teenager under Margaret Thatcher. Working as a team, we Conservatives will deliver an economic revolution. We will deliver lower, simpler taxes, get Britain drilling again to bring down energy costs, slash the red tape holding Britain back, and scrap the job-killing measures in Labour’s (Un)Employment Rights Act. A strong country needs a strong economy. The Conservatives will always back the risk-takers and wealth creators who deliver growth, investment and jobs.

The King of the North wants to tax you even more. Starmer is gone, but it’s the same old Labour #VoteConservative

🚨When asked about new taxes, Andy Burnham said “at some point that might be having to ask for a little more"🚨 Andy Burnham isn't even Prime Minister yet but he's already talking about raising your taxes AGAIN. We are heading for another summer of chaos with Labour obsessing about who they can tax to pay for more benefits. It doesn’t matter who is in charge, the problem is the Labour Party.

The Falkland Islands are British. The Conservatives will always defend them.

WATCH: @RobertJenrick - now under investigation by the police for his donations - confirming he doesn’t have the courage to hold a by-election in Newark. Just like his boss he is mired in scandal, and running scared from accountability.

BREAKING: Today’s GDP figures show that the economy shrank in April. This is what happens when you don’t have a plan for growth.

Next stop with Labour: higher taxes to pay for more welfare.

Today I have met Lucy, Mark and Katie, Henry Nowak’s mother, father and stepmother. Their courage is extraordinary. They have endured the most appalling loss, it is a life sentence for them. They have also faced the agonising decision to release the harrowing body-worn camera footage, knowing how painful it would be and how strongly people would react. They did so because they want truth, accountability and change. They have asked that we work across political parties and religions to rebuild trust in the police. That trust has been broken because of what happened, and I agree with them on that. We must also be prepared to examine, carefully and seriously, religious practices or exemptions that permit the carrying of dangerous weapons in public, and other activities that are not conducive to the public good. We also need to examine where the law needs to change. Henry’s family do not want anger to tear communities apart. They are a family who have friends across faith and race, and so did Henry. His family want his memory to help bring our society together. Everyone knows I have strong views about how we should deal with equality under the law. What the family agreed with me on is that we need to bring common sense back, and that is what we should all be fighting for. I promised the family that we will work to ensure there is a positive legacy for Henry out of this tragedy. That is my focus now.

It's way too hot out there. The next Conservative government will reverse the aircon ban created by @RobertJenrick, which blocks new homes from being built with air conditioning. That's the one he's talking about here ⬇️

We have been fighting Labour’s absurd Fuel Duty Hike from the start. It was clear to everyone but Rachel Reeves that hard working families and drivers across Britain should not be punished, especially while petrol prices are rising. Finally, Labour have U-turned. Here's why👇

This is hilarious. The Daily Mail has revealed that Andy Burnham was jogging at 12.18pm, then he returned home 45 minutes in his VW Golf. His jog was just a photo op. Why pretend to jog? It just makes him look fake and untrustworthy. Something the public hate about politics.

It’s been wall-to-wall Labour, Greens and Reform on the radio in the last few days. All for the wrong reasons. The Green leader’s lies, Farage’s dodgy money and Labour wasting taxpayer funds on unnecessary by-elections to save their bacon. All while Kemi cracks on with her job as Leader of His Majesty’s Opposition, building a range of policies that will take us into the next election with answers to the country’s problems - not just ideas, but Bills which are ready to roll out, costed plans and a plan for a stronger economy.
