This is a huge u-turn by the government and a big win for the Conservative Party's campaign against Labour's Family Farm Tax. Earlier this year, I was told to drop our campaign, that there weren’t many votes in it, there weren't many farmers, and people assumed they were wealthy
Government waters down inheritance tax plan for farms after backlash, with threshold increased from £1m to £2.5m https://t.co/YTYkO8ScD3

Hugely encouraging poll from @LordAshcroft, lot of work to do but the movement is in the right direction. Reform 25% (-2) Conservatives 22% (+2) Greens 19% (+1) Labour 18% (=) Lib Dems 10% (-1) Who are the 18% who would still vote Labour though?

Since April, Rachel Reeves has added over £132 billion to our national debt. The highest level ever, outside of the pandemic. We are the only party with the backbone to cut spending, reduce borrowing and deliver a stronger economy.

To the Jewish community this Chanukah: we stand with you. May the candles be lit in remembrance, resilience and resolve. Chanukah is a reminder that Jewish light has always been forced to burn against the dark. This year, we light candles in grief, defiance and remembrance.

Heartbreaking scenes emerging from Bondi Beach of what looks like another despicable terrorist atrocity. As Jews across the UK gather to welcome Chanukah, we must once again remind ourselves of the enduring power of the story of the Maccabees, not only to Jewish history but to

Sadly, under this Labour government, it was entirely expected. Labour are destroying business and consumer confidence and doing everything in their power to attack businesses who create jobs, wealth and opportunity. It’s @Conservatives who have the ideas, drive and

The idea that you can meaningfully reform the ECHR is a trick. We cannot wait for Europe to get its act together when we have a border crisis today. Spies and terrorists have entered our country on small boats. Foreign murderers and rapists can’t be removed because of spurious

There is absolutely no justification for the government and the NHS continuing to kowtow to an extreme ideology that endorses experimenting on children. The evidence is clear that using puberty blockers on vulnerable children is not just dangerous it’s indefensible. Wes

The true cost of Rachel Reeves’ benefits budget will shock you. Labour are taking from hardworking people, and using it to pay people on welfare more. This has to stop. We have to Get Britain Working Again.

Southport is a tourism and hospitality town, yet the Labour government, Labour MP and Labour council seem determined to destroy a vital part of our local economy. Conservative plans to cut business rates for thousands of businesses, many of which would be in #Southport would be
Labour act like they're on a mission to crush the hospitality industry. The Jobs Tax, Employment Rights Bill and now withdrawing business rates relief. Conservatives will revive our high streets by scrapping business rates for thousands of retail, hospitality and leisure

The top 1% of income tax payers pay 29% of all income tax, while 35% of adults pay no income tax at all. Yet this government's anti wealth creator policies are driving many top earners abroad, leaving a higher tax burden on the remaining workers to pay for our public services.

A Labour minister told a reporter that "the handling of this budget has been a disaster from start to finish." But who said it? @KemiBadenoch has worked it out 👀

People far away from him think that too, to be fair.
“People close to Starmer say he doesn’t really get politics. I mean, he quite clearly doesn’t.” Keir Starmer hasn’t moved on from being a barrister, “he just takes a brief and peddles it” without joining the dots, says Times Radio's @Guto_Harri. @Gabriel_Pogrund | @HugoRifkind
