Britain is not destined for decline. ย We are a GREAT country, full of potential, and there is so much to look forward to. ย So bring on 2026, and donโt lose hope, because @Conservatives are building a plan to Get Britain Working Again.

You owe ยฃ100,000 and it is costing you ยฃ4,000 every year. Whatever the Chancellor does today, the numbers still wonโt add up. We must cut up the credit cards and stop spending money we donโt have ๐

When Lord @David_Cameron brought forward Same-Sex Marriage, it wasnโt in spite of being a conservative - but *because* he was a conservative. Real conservatives should delight in gay couples wanting to make these commitments and build roots. Listen to some of our team here๐

The normalisation of lying in politics needs to end. The Tories did more in policy and regulation than any previous Government, which led to reductions in overflows and dividends, and record investment. Reed knows this.
The Conservatives left our water system in ruins. Labour will boost investment to fix our broken infrastructure and clean up our rivers, lakes and seas for good. https://t.co/nV2VlK00we

Well said @snowdon_ian. At best this is a tone deaf decision by councillors in South Oxfordshire. Thereโs an identical proposal coming to Vale of White Horse District Council next week - will be interesting to see how councillors vote! South Oxfordshire councillor pay rise

This morning I met Yvette Cooper as she visited @TVP_Slough to announce the new Neighbourhood Policing Guarantee - but what does it actually mean? We've already doubled the number of neighbourhood police officers in Thames Valley and crime is falling. I'm grateful for any

Labour's misguided decision to impose a family farm tax will ruin hundreds of traditional family farms, a key pillar in national food security. Across @whitehorsedc and @southoxon alone this tax will put 719 farm holdings at risk. Sign our petition below, which calls for

@Ed_Miliband 1, You didn't do anything. These bids were made well before you came to power. 2, All the bids are more expensive than the gas price. So how exactly are they going to lower bills?

Wow. Just wow. All these bids were in before the end of April. You fixed absolutely nothing Milivolts. Labour claiming success for something they didn't do. Shocker.
Last year, the Conservatives oversaw a disastrous result- with ZERO new offshore wind projects Labour came in and fixed this. The results are power for over 11 million homes with a new supply of clean homegrown energy. https://t.co/LXwrzy0GMc
