Out last night campaigning in #Balham & #ClaphamSouth. Residents have a right to know what’s happening under Wandsworth Labour: • Borrowing at a cost of nearly £2.5bn • £40m already blown from reserves • A budget gap of £51m @TeamLondonUK

Reform fancy their chances taking Bromley Council in May. Their first test was to propose an alternative Budget - something that, unlike other parties, they failed to do. To promise change, and then fail to propose anything different is disrespectful to voters.

With Labour you can have any 🍺 you like… As long as it’s bitter.
Sick of politicians explaining the budget with food? How about pints 🍻

This is an excellent explanation of the pressures our pubs are facing, well done @EmmaBest22!

Labour had a chance yesterday to save our police front counters. Instead, they let them shut. @EmmaBest22 calls out their hypocrisy, and how they're letting down Londoners 👇

REFORM: Pleeeeaase Tory Voters, pleeeeaase lend us your vote this one time so we can stop the Greens. The small amount of Tory voters in G&D: Yes, sure okay. REFORM:
Gorton & Denton was @Conservatives worst by-election result in history. They scored 1.9% of the vote and lost their deposit. A great night for the Kemi bounce theory.

All @EmmaBest22 wanted was a simple yes/no answer to her question. How many times do you think Sadiq Khan tried to dodge answering it?

This is true, but we also won a landslide that year and a majority of 144 seats.
Looks like this was the first time the Tories lost their deposit in an English by election since 1983

@TiceRichard Officers were on scene within two minutes of being alerted just after 4am. They arrested a 38-year-old man on suspicion of racially aggravated criminal damage. He remains in custody.

💥BREAKING NEWS💥 @RobertJenrick has defected to @TheGreenParty following their win in Gorton and Denton. Jenrick is alleged to have justified his second defection in as many months by telling voters: “I’ve always been a vegan.”
Gorton and Denton by-election result: GRN: 40.7% (+27.5) REF: 28.7% (+14.7) LAB: 25.4% (-25.3) CON: 1.9% (-6.0) LDEM: 1.8% (-2.1) Green GAIN from Labour.

Beat the Lib Dems, stayed positive throughout, skirted all psychodrama and never involved with the very morally questionable campaigning seen here. It’s a win in my book, massive well done to Charlotte Cadden who should be very proud of this dignified campaign.
🚨 IN FULL: The results of the Gorton and Denton by-election 🟢 Green: 14,980 (+10,170 / +211.4%) ➡️ Reform UK: 10,578 (+5,436 / +105.7%) 🔴 Labour: 9,364 (-9,191 / -49.5%) 🔵 Conservatives: 706 (-2,182 / -75.6%) 🔶 Liberal Democrats: 653 (-746 / -53.3%) 🐷 Monster Raving Loony

So Labour ended up third in a by-election they would have probably won if the prime minister hadn’t blocked the prime candidate. Top tactics 👌

🛣️ We found £15m worth of savings in Sadiq Khan's budget, and tried to allocate it to fixing London's pot holes. But Labour, the Lib Dems & Greens voted down our amendment 👇

🚨 City Hall Conservatives' amendment to the Mayor's Budget, to stop him increasing his share of Londoners' council tax this year, has just been shamefully voted down by Labour, Lib Dems, and the Greens

Huge respect to Charlotte Cadden @Charlotty, our @Conservatives Candidate in the Gorton and Denton by-election. The ONLY candidate who has run a positive campaign about real, serious issues — not negative slogan-shouting protest politics of other parties. #GortonDentonByElection

What's the toughest pub quiz question? Naming Sadiq Khan's Deputy Mayors. Ahead of our Budget Amendment, @NeilGarratt takes aim at the Mayor of London's wasteful spending on fatcats: https://t.co/LFrxrYfkSC

What’s the toughest pub quiz question in London? “Name the Deputy Mayors.”

Jack in Swansea called @IainDale to ask @KemiBadenoch about a potential @WelshConserv wipeout at the Senedd election. Worth a listen.
