Labour are trying to remove protections for our veterans who served in Northern Ireland. Last night we showed up to vote against it. Do you know who didn’t? Nigel Farage and Robert Jenrick.

📣 Westminster Conservatives are listening. 🥀 For too long, local people have been ignored by a weak Labour-led Westminster council. 🌪️ Crime has spiralled, street standards have dropped, and leadership is nowhere to be found. 💙 That’s why Westminster Conservatives are

BREAKING New @YouGov poll: Best party on the economy Conservatives: 21% Reform: 14% Labour: 12% Labour are taxing us into the ground. Reform peddle fantasy economics. Only the @Conservatives are cutting through with a serious and credible plan to build a stronger economy.

Great to see @lgbtcons relaunch ally membership and proud to have joined.
Allies have always been at the heart of our organization – and our membership already boasts hundreds of ally members. From the beginning, their support has been vital in driving forward our mission of meaningful change for LGBT+ people in the UK. https://t.co/YbPVtOkb4S

Good news. This was a Lib Dem idea and not one of their greatest ones.

Mayor Khan certainly has no problem spending taxpayers money - but on a “Loved and Wanted” campaign 🙄- you couldn’t make it up. We are the mugs paying!!
Sadiq Khan has put £1m into a "Loved & Wanted" campaign - and no one seems to be able to answer who's responsible for spending it. Watch @Councillorsuzie try five times to get a response 👇

For the first time since the creation of the Euro, Britain’s unemployment rate is reaching EU levels. Starmer can't blame international factors any more. The gap has narrowed, and it confirms Britain’s tanking employment rate is because of decisions his government have made.

Today is an example of the Council not getting the basic stuff right. Across the borough hearing reports that proper gritting has just not happened. Pavements are incredibly icy. Why wasn’t the council prepared for this?@AdrianZorzut @westminstertory
@CityWestminster @Lorraine__Dean @Sarahassan_lv @Georgia_Gould Yet another way the area has taken a severe decline since Labour took over the council! WHERE ON EARTH ARE THE GRITTERS?! I ALWAYS see Lorraine & Melvyn on walk-about. Sara Hassan only visible when it’s election

In September 2022 a contract was signed to provide 20 community supportive homes in Adpar St. #LittleVenice Not only was £27 million wasted by @CityWestminster Labour but the much needed homes for our vulnerable elderly are still not available for letting. #LabourNotWorking

With the government now appointing an external firm to handle the public sector's "media strategy, planning, and buying services", I assume there will be a major cull of comms staff In 2024 there were 4,850 comms staff in Whitehall alone

It’s three days since we broke the story of how Westminster Labour gave a high value contract to a company on the verge of going bust. Labour: 🥀 don’t deny that £27 million has gone down the drain 🥀 blame everyone else but aren’t willing to take responsibility.
Spot on @PaulEFishr £27m of public money gone, and for what? This is exactly what happens when basic due diligence and financial discipline are treated as optional. Taxpayers don’t need reckless experiments with their money.

Labour’s Westminster Council wasted up to £27m because it contracted with a company it knew was at a high risk of going bust. I spoke to LBC about this reckless decision. More on the Geoffrey Osborne scandal in days and weeks to come. @westminstertory

The withdrawal of @ZipcarUK from London should not have been news to the @MayorofLondon. The General Manager at Zipcar UK, told MPs in September the removal of the 100% EV discount could make car clubs "commercially unviable" in the capital. https://t.co/Qs30qJVRlF

A City Hall meeting will discuss policy suggestions to fill the gap left by Zipcar leaving London.
