At Christmas we mark the birth of Christ. A wonderful story of hope, humility and peace at the most special time of year. Christmas is a time for making merry and seeing friends, but more than anything, it’s about family. That’s why, to those working tomorrow and spending time

Getting so many messages from farmers!This is their victory. They work long hours, take real risks, and pass something on to the next generation. They don’t want favours, just fairness. An extra special thanks to the strong @Conservatives team @VictoriaAtkins & @_RobbieMoore who

This is fantastic news. The majority of the local farms in my constituency are small family farms. I’m relieved the government has finally seen sense but why they had to put farmers and the rural community through the uncertainty and stress they’ve experienced is beyond me.

BREAKING: Labour have rowed back again on their Family Farm Tax and Family Business Tax, sneaking out an announcement two days before Christmas while Parliament isn’t sitting. They have put families through hell, only to water down their proposals at the last minute after

Banning trail hunting is not about animal welfare, it is about Keir Starmer’s weak leadership and a vain attempt to manage his unruly backbenchers. It is yet another assault on the rural way of life by this government.

It’s been an open secret in Westminster for weeks; no Defence Investment Plan this year. It was supposed to be delivered in the Autumn. Now Keir Starmer has ripped it up at the 11th hour to start again, having realised he can’t afford his own Strategic Defence Review. Shambles.

Great to see. Sorry I wasn’t able to be there.

This is straightforwardly and demonstrably false. It is a lie. The Tories replaced Erasmus with Turing. Turing offers Europe's Erasmus countries + the rest of the world. No doors were shut: more than 200 additional ones were opened.

The government is set to pay £840 million a year for membership of Erasmus once the first-year discount ends. This is more than 10% of the entire £7.5 billion budget that the government spends on British universities per year. Truly the worst negotiators in history.

Heading home on the @GWRHelp Sleeper service tonight. Looking forward to a packed few days in constituency before the Christmas break! Driving home for Christmas albeit on the train…!

We use the term “Anti-Muslim hatred”. It makes clear the law protects Muslims. In this country, we have a proud tradition of religious freedom AND the freedom to criticise religion. The definition of “Islamophobia” she uses creates a blasphemy law via the back door if adopted.

"What bar could be higher than a government protecting children from being tested on with drugs specifically to stop or alter their sexual development?" "It is his choice. He's the Secretary of State. These tests are on him." @JoePJRobertson 👏 #StopThePBTrial

The Government committed to deliver the Defence Investment Plan in the Autumn, it won’t even be delivered this year. For Keir Starmer to now have concerns about “affordability”, given he agreed to all the recommendations in the Strategic Defence Review, shows it was all bluster.

The reasons why we are scrapping the ban on petrol and diesel cars ⬇️

Labour announced an £820m package to help get young people into jobs in the hospitality, construction and care sectors - but only after increasing taxes on these sectors, causing the very unemployment they're now spending more public money on trying to reverse! Utter economic

Unemployment has risen every month under Labour. Starmer’s high tax, high spend, union-led government is crushing business, destroying jobs and killing growth. We must cut spending, live within our means and Get Britain Working Again.

Fourteen straight months of rising unemployment. No mystery. No global shock. Just a government that taxed jobs and killed growth. Only @Conservatives will get Britain working again.

I’m very much a green Conservative but I never understood how forcing people to move to EV squared for those who either can’t afford or aren’t able to easily charge an EV due to dense urban or rural living. Glad we’ve changed our mind on this.

Conservatives are the only Party with a plan to drive Britain forward 🏎️🇬🇧
