Great to have been a small part of this @Conservatives win in my own council ward. Our candidate Hayward Burt is very well known locally. I canvassed several dozen voters & heard lots of positive comments.

Back in Russell Square and the basement flat I rent for a few nights most weeks. It's a beautiful and inspiring place and while London has its problems some on the Right overdo the gloom and dangerously so. It's absolutely still one of the world's great cities (ALMOST as good as

Oh dear. #SaltPath
Penniless and homeless, Raynor and Moth Winn found fame with The Salt Path: the story of their 630-mile walk to salvation. It became a global bestseller and was adapted into a major film. But we can reveal it wasn’t the whole truth. @chloehadj Read: https://t.co/SjsMngcXyM

🐖🥧, Dale. Why does the UK have more wind power capacity than any other country, but the highest electricity prices? The @Conservatives plan to ease off Net Zero is a sensible initial response to such misinformation.
Both wind and solar have come down in price incredibly - they're now below the market rate of fossil fuels. If we invest in renewables people in Britain will be better off.

Yesterday Keir Starmer refused to defend the Chancellor in the House of Commons, whilst she sat beside him crying. Today he brings her out for a speech like nothing happened. Whilst they try to pretend everything is fine, the economy is in chaos. Get a grip @Keir_Starmer

Today the Prime Minister refused to back his Chancellor, leaving her humiliated. She is the human shield for his expensive u-turns. How can anyone be a chancellor for a man who doesn’t know what he believes and who changes his mind every other minute.

Isn't it big of all those brave souls at Gazastonbury to kick off against #Israel and the #IDF within the security of a 15 foot high steel perimeter fence with absolutley no threat or fear of Hamas storming in and butchering, burning or raping them at their festival. #Glastonbury

And tax avoidance is fine if it’s left-wing tax avoidance, Dale?
At Glasto, kneecap not cancelled, FFS...if it’s possible to be sold out at Glasto - I mean come on, the crowd is 30k+, field shut, big shout out to the Eavis family for resisting the cancel pressure. Free Palestine.

There are so many other examples of hypocrisy (re tax avoidance) and promotion of violence, that getting angry about your misnamed (you are closer to Shepton Mallet than Glastonbury) wokefest is unlikely.
To all those people who are very annoyed #Glastonbury is on. Don't come. Don't look at anything on social media about it. Don't watch anything with it in. Don't listen. Chill out. Have a beer. Watch the clouds. You don't have to tell everyone how angry you are. Love, Michael.

Good to see PJ endorse @LoftusSteve’s key points (3 months ago) about PIP & other ‘cuts’. Did ‘long Covid’ cause a 60% increase in disability? My professional opinion: no.
Real terms spending on health related benefits for people of working age: - £36bn in 2019-20 - £52bn in 2024-25 - Without reform £66bn in 2029-30 - with cuts £61bn in 2029-30. May not like current proposals, but there are choices to be made here. https://t.co/iL8jFUITBg

As I went round the Lincolnshire show so many people were praising Robbie for his great knowledge of farming, strong work ethic and charming manner. They were also horrified as they told me of the interaction you describe. I cannot believe anyone is proud of such rudeness!

@CamillaTominey Not at all unlikely, Farage only hates Tories, everything he does is about having revenge on the Tories for not giving him the gongs he felt we owed him, he’s not fussed about how bad, duplicitous or dishonest Labour are, he probably rather admires it.

This is pathetic. Starmer must not pull this bill. We’ve offered to support him in the national interest if our reasonable conditions are met. If he pulls the bill, it proves Labour isn’t serious about fiscal responsibility. If Labour backbenchers are too scared to deliver
NEW: There is widespread speculation in Government that No 10 will pull the entire welfare bill before the end of Wednesday, sources told The i Paper https://t.co/N3HbKYoTPP

Worrying to see multiple cyclists failing to stop at a pedestrian crossing. What is your view, @activetraveleng ?
We need an immediate halt on any more floating bus stops @Keir_Starmer. Blind people are being excluded from catching the bus due to these designs which are still being put in. @NFBUK have no faith in @transportgovuk to tackle this @Heidi_Labour @simonlightwood @LordPeterHendy.

A famous bloke who spent time in prison for violent assault & chaining a much younger man to a radiator. No genuine remorse ever shown. Now he openly attacks JK Rowling with misogynistic abuse. Time for the BBC, ITV, Ch4 etc to finally stop platforming him.
@jk_rowling This is your obsession and it's pretty relentless and for no reason. You don't get to decided who or what anyone is except when you write. In the real world people can and always will be what they want to be. You can't stop it but you can continue to make young kids lives more

If you want to speed go and do track days. UK road deaths involving speeding (300+) appear to be increasing. @Conservatives should discourage the anti-cycling rhetoric of Simon Heffer & others, which I believe is one factor fuelling this. https://t.co/z7ir8yMqV9
media.rac.co.uk
Eight-in-10 (81%) drivers say they regularly see people ‘excessively speeding’ on all types of roads, new data from the RAC reveals.*
Saw a bloke speeding earlier and it made me think (as I have thought before): why don't the authorities/ teachers spend more time preventing young men from doing this? Create a stigma to it. More deaths are caused by men thinking it's cool to speed than watching Andrew Tate.

If you are an actor trying to shore up your career by deflecting from Hamas’ racist targeting of Israeli civilians, you might as well promote experts closer to home as well.
This is the reprehensible level the British media has stooped to. An act of piracy and kidnapping described as this. Beyond parody. This is where we are.

A year of campaigning. Over 330,000 signatures on our petition. Conservatives have forced Labour to u-turn. Now it’s time for Keir Starmer to apologise.
