What is consigning them to the scrap heap is a lower level qualification. Are we really saying that white working-class children are less capable of achieving the same qualifications as their peers, or that the answer is to lower expectations? It’s an insult.

This Thursday I will be bringing a debate to the floor of the House on Property Service Charges. Residents living on Park 25 in Redhill are paying huge charges that devalue their homes and prevent them selling. Lives are being ruined. #propertyservicecharges #firstport

Devastating. 2,000 more jobs at risk in the North Sea. As long as Ed Miliband keeps his mad ban on new oil and gas licences in place, news like this is only going to become a lot more common. As long as we need oil and gas, as much of it as possible should come from Britain.

“We can’t ethically test puberty blockers on another generation of children until we know what happened to the last.” writes @cwestonclark Supporters of the NHS puberty blocker study are still missing the point 👇 🔗 https://t.co/yuxICgeLKq

Britain’s high streets are suffering. Labour’s Jobs Tax and Business Rate hikes are forcing businesses to close. Only @Conservatives have a plan to deliver Stronger High Streets, and it starts by scrapping Business Rates entirely for thousands of small local businesses.

Not the first mistake this month either. A prisoner was let out of HMP Downview to get tomatoes for the canteen! https://t.co/XgrRJWgkOA

Since the start I have feared the Government spiked the prosecution through ineptitude. It is worse. We now know from the CPS that the Executive fatally undermined the case. This is a constitutional crisis. Starmer said it was about Conservative ‘policy position' in 2021 and

My article on why the puberty blocker clinical trial must be stopped. “These are healthy children, not terminally ill patients for whom the risk-benefit calculus might justify experimental treatments.” https://t.co/WH6TOPQv9T

Every house move means new furniture, new paint, new jobs. Abolishing Stamp Duty means £1.2 billion flowing into local businesses. Conservatives have a plan to build opportunity. Labour has a plan to tax it.

The Pathways puberty blocker clinical trial must be stopped. It risks chemically neutering a generation of same-sex attracted, neurodiverse and traumatised young people. @wesstreeting please stop it before it’s too late.

We had a brilliant event last week. Launching a new blueprint for councils to improve street access - tackling pavement parking, street works and waste collection. Thank you to @Rebecca_SPaul for hosting us, our funders @NCAT_UK, all of our panellists and to all who joined us.

We’ve had two weeks of statements and urgent questions about the collapsed China spy trial. Two weeks of evasion and dishonesty. Today the minister claimed she doesn’t speak for other members of the government. This is a cover-up - but we will expose the truth.

Glad to see the Tony Blair Institute now saying what I’ve been saying for months. - Energy is prosperity and nothing is more important to growth than cutting energy costs. - ⁠Axe the Carbon Tax to cut bills instantly. - ⁠Ed’s renewables auction will lock us into higher

I understand the govt taking time to get this right, but they shouldn’t have scared parents earlier this year & then left them in limbo. We all know Bridget Phillipson has spent the last few weeks distracted by a deputy leadership contest rather than focussing on the day job.

A bill drafted hastily, including criminal offences... Falconer confirms that if a stressed doctor or nurse enters a room, subconsciously bringing pressure that relatives claim caused the patient to take lethal drugs, the doctor or nurse risks prosecution and life imprisonment.

Snapped on my way to the Chamber to listen to Angela Rayner... The @Conservatives are clear - Stamp Duty is a bad tax and we will abolish it.

The deadline for the Fruit and Vegetable Aid Scheme is rapidly approaching. The government needs to give growers certainty now. ✍️ Over 50 MPs have written calling on @EmmaforWycombe to provide answers now 👇

He just cannot help himself. "I don't think she understands how this works!" #PMQs

Well…it turns out they will pay more #brokenpromises

Nearly 7 in 10 people back our plan to scrap Stamp Duty. It’s common sense. It helps families move, boosts growth, and makes Britain fairer. If Labour had any sense, they’d implement it.
