A pleasure to join the Home Secretary

at South Manchester Synagogue in Bowdon yesterday evening.
There has been an unacceptable increase in antisemitism on our streets - we stand resolutely with our Jewish friends and neighbours against this vile racism.

NI contributions are not hypothecated.
There is no £46bn tax cut.
Rachel Reeves knows these things, but is actively misleading voters.
No plan for the country so they’re scraping the barrel. Dismal.
National Insurance Contributions fund state pensions and the NHS.
So will the Prime Minister’s £46 billion of unfunded tax cuts come from cutting state pensions or cuts to our NHS?

Labour are lying to voters over National Insurance.
But that shouldn’t come as a surprise - they have nothing to offer the country other than half-baked untruths.
Just heard Jonathan Ashworth on

say people pay NICs to create a pension pot for their retirement.
He either has no clue how the system works, or is being deliberately misleading - not sure which is worse.

Paul is right. Any sitting MP who switches party should be deemed to have resigned and vacated their seat.
Switching political party as a sitting MP should trigger a by-election.

Labour puts up your council tax and awards councillors a 40% pay rise. They have the wrong priorities.
Everyone's fed up with the potholes.
Council tax is set to go up yet again. 4.99% are the propsals in Labour's budget ( Wednesday night).

Plans to concrete over Carrington Moss are appalling, ill thought through and ecologically disastrous. Our peat moss is irreplaceable. Proponents of this plan in the Labour Party - and anywhere else - should have the humility to admit to its flaws and think again.
Residents should have had a seat at the table – not just the opportunity to comment on someone else's apocalyptic 17-year plan that will have a extremely damaging impact on our communities (both human & wildlife).
As for accepting the outcome - the process is not yet over!

It's a good policy that the majority support. The Council would benefit and small businesses would benefit. There are indirect advantages of the free after three, and free parking schemes, which I outlined in my motion speech at council. More should be done in Trafford on this.
