Britain is not destined for decline. We are a GREAT country, full of potential, and there is so much to look forward to. So bring on 2026, and don’t lose hope, because @Conservatives are building a plan to Get Britain Working Again.

Last night @Conservatives defeated the Government four times over its Chagos surrender. Surrendering a vital military base weakens our security and costs £35bn. Britain must project strength. Only the Conservatives will stand up to hostile actors and for our national interest.
Once again Labour have suffered a humiliating defeat on their shameful anti-British Chagos Surrender Bill. At every stage of this process, the Government has sought to silence and ignore the Chagossian people and dodge scrutiny for the outrageous handover of British territory

The Foreign Secretary was quite cross that I didn’t congratulate Labour for all the hard work they’d done in Venezuela which includes… *checks notes*…ringing up the opposition leader and asking people to be nice to each other. ↘️She had no answer when I asked her about UK

The events in Venezuela have shown that the Prime Minister is on the outside looking in, not respected abroad or at home. I will be in Parliament later today to ask what Starmer's foreign policy strategy is in light of the US's actions. He should be telling us himself.

Labour should scrap the Northern Ireland Troubles Bill. Our veterans are being treated “worse than terrorists”. That damning indictment is not from me as Leader of the Opposition, but from Labour’s own Northern Ireland Veterans Commissioner. My thoughts in today’s @Telegraph.
Kemi Badenoch has called Sir Keir Starmer’s Northern Ireland veterans law a “national disgrace” for leaving open former British soldiers to prosecution ⬇️ https://t.co/75yWpzCoVR

Under @KemiBadenoch , the changed Conservative Party is rebuilding and setting out a plan to get Britain working again through lower taxes, reforming welfare, cheaper energy, and taking a chainsaw to red and green tape.

Less woke, more growth: this is our plan to beat rising costs and regulation

There’s a lot of noise from people who couldn’t find Venezuela on a map yesterday. This is clearly a fast-moving and extremely serious situation. I am not going to rush to judgement or speculate on incomplete reports. I’m more interested in what Venezuelans risking their lives

We have always strongly condemned Maduro’s brutal and repressive regime and the Conservative Government did not consider Maduro’s administration as legitimate. Nobody will shed tears over him no longer being in power. We await the full facts about the US operation which has

The brave Iranians on the streets protesting against their despotic and oppressive government are a beacon of hope for us all. The Iranian regime denies its own people basic liberties while exporting terrorism and instability beyond its borders, threatening the UK and our

We also had a clear trade policy: as Trade Secretary, I signed our biggest post-Brexit deal in the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP), securing preferential access to a vast market of 500 million people in the Indo-Pacific region – which

Leaving the EU but joining a customs union is like throwing away the burger and eating the napkin, said the Conservative peer Lord Hannan. He’s right. Recent weeks have seen a bizarre push by some Labour and Lib Dem politicians – including in major newspaper interviews – to

Lord Wolfson has nothing to do with Chelsea FC proceeds. That’s already on the record. While you play politics, he’s acting pro bono in the Supreme Court defending veterans your Government abandoned. Correct the record.
You haven’t answered any of my questions. Let’s make it simpler. Tory Shadow Attorney General Lord Wolfson is working for Roman Abramovich in a case that is delaying the transfer of over £2.5bn to benefit the people of Ukraine. Is delaying that money Conservative policy or not?

Lord Wolfson is one of our country’s greatest barristers - he has the utmost integrity. It says all you need to know about this aimless Labour govt that they are attacking him when he is currently defending the British Army veterans that Labour abandoned

Lord Wolfson is acting pro bono in the Supreme Court in the Dillon case, defending British veterans against your useless Government. Is this why you’re trying to smear him? Meanwhile your Attorney General, Lord Hermer, previously sued the British Government and the Ministry of
This is shocking. And no, since this is a Jersey case, the cab rank principle doesn’t apply. It is surely a direct conflict of interest. I presume he asked @KemiBadenoch permission before being engaged or appointed?

I do not want people who hate Britain coming to our country. And where such views are part of an individual’s public record, they must be considered when decisions are taken about citizenship. We have been too complacent for too long. Another serious problem is that there will

Two things can be true at the same time. First, Alaa Abd El-Fattah, the former prisoner, should have received a free and fair trial in Egypt. The long years of detention, the suffering of his family, and the lack of due process are not things any democracy should be comfortable

The Home Secretary should look at all possible options for Alaa Abd El-Fattah, including whether his citizenship can be revoked and he can be removed from Britain. British citizenship is more than a passport. It means subscribing to our values. Britain is our home not a hotel.

At Christmas we mark the birth of Christ. A wonderful story of hope, humility and peace at the most special time of year. Christmas is a time for making merry and seeing friends, but more than anything, it’s about family. That’s why, to those working tomorrow and spending time
