This time last year, during the 2024 General Election campaign, I visited the Ipswich Family Bank. The volunteers' dedication and compassion completely blew me away. I made a promise that I'd do what I can to support them - whatever the outcome of the election. Last week, I

With the passing of time I wanted to say how highly I still think of @WCDG and how much I appreciated this. Best wishes to you all.
@sue_lees @vicderbyshire @KevinCraigUK Nope. Iāve been watching him since 1998. Heās no chancer. And Iām no Labour supporter! Example: he originally supported Borisā Garden Bridge, but had the guts to change his mind, and then privately underwrote our Judicial Review which put nails in the coffin. Good man & fallible

Well said @DeborahMeaden
Nope. As for popularityā¦ if thatās true itās because heās not an empty showman willing to say anything and deliver nothing. If you still donāt like him after the strongest anti immigration plan weāve seen.. there is literally nothing he can do,

Well done @ShabanaMahmood @UKLabour - slowly but surely sorting out the mess
I am ending the unrestricted use of taxis by asylum seekers for hospital appointments, authorising them only in the most exceptional circumstances. Ā I will continue to root out waste as we close every single asylum hotel. https://t.co/PGVdNaYeF6

So good to see
Today I received my follow-up cancer scan without being asked to pay a penny. An NHS free at the point of use - revolutionary in 1948 and essential today. Owned by us for all of us. Iāll always defend it. (And thanks @RoyalFreeNHS!)

'There is nothing to see here!' Political commentator Kevin Craig says the claims Rachel Reeves misled Brits over the state of the public finances before the Budget are 'a total attempt to whip up a political attack on the Chancellor'.

š¬š§ This was a Budget about fairness and long-term growth. Crucially, @RachelReevesMP outlined a plan to ease the cost of living, boost the NHS and cut the cost of Britainās debt. @UKLabour has 14 years of economic mismanagement to unravel. Todayās Budget is an important step

Whatever one thinks of the Budget and the Chancellorās choices today, it takes real guts to enter frontline politics today with all the scrutiny of family & constraints on life. The vast majority of people wouldnāt do it. Whilst many (myself included) will disagree with some of

So so sad to hear about the death of Bernard so relatively young. He was a really dedicated public servant, worked so hard for @Conservatives and his constituents and was a throughly nice man. Rest in peace Bernard. š
It is with great sadness that we announce the death of Bernard Gentry on Mon aged 65. He was a stalwart of @Conservatives for 40+ years Most recently he served with distinction as @WelshConserv Chairman He served on @lambeth_council in 1994, 2002 & 2014 May he rest in peace

There are a small number in Parliament who donāt recognise the privilege it is to serve. The public have trusted @UKLabour and @Keir_Starmer to deliver for this country and slowly but surely we are seeing progress. Itās time for some MPs to put their egos aside and focus
