Responsibility today. Opportunity tomorrow. @KemiBadenoch will say more at 11.

Is this a two-tier planning regime now? House-building has been restrained for years due to Habitats Regulations, but for Silicon Valley technigarchs those same regulations are being waived?

Exclusive: Young people would be given a £5,000 national insurance rebate towards the cost of their first home when they get their first full-time job under Conservative plans to ‘reward work’ Sir Mel Stride, the shadow chancellor, will announce proposals for a ‘first-job

So many Chiswick Staithe residents we spoke to today were thrilled with the support and hard work of our #Chiswick @Conservatives councillors...and some of them were even Conservative voters! @CBIConservative have a strong record of delivering for people in Chiswick Homefields.

Do those complaining about Digital ID realise that Big Tech already knows far more about them and controls far more of what they access than the Government ever will?

Big thank you to @RobertJenrick for coming to Avonmore for an insightful evening of Q&A. Superb work from @GabriellaSGG, @lgrigg23 and the Hammersmith & Chiswick team. 👇

Hammersmith and Chiswick Conservative Association are really grateful to @RobertJenrick for his time last night 🙏 PSA: As Deputy Chair, I'm always keen to bring Conservative-minded people into our tent. If you're in the area and interested, visit

🏡 Lots of great conversations with residents of the world's first garden suburb today. 🍃 They're angry that Hounslow Labour has taken 'garden suburb' a bit too literally - the pavements are full of weeds and leaves! 🔵 @CBIConservative are committing to serious improvement.

Mandelson might have gone but, just as with Angela Rayner, Starmer dithered when he needed to be decisive. Time and again he puts party above country. He has no backbone and no convictions. There are now serious questions over what Starmer knew and when. We deserve to know.

There's been a lot of people coming out to say that the next deputy leader has got to be A) a woman and B) northern. But I feel like this analysis misses the whole point of Angela Rayner. Yes she's a woman. Yes she's from the north. Yes she has an incredible back story. But she

amazing @FT

The French example is a warning to all parties of the dangers of failing to restrain public spending. As Mr Bayrou says, the crushing burden of debt is accumulating on my generation's shoulders. I don't expect we will thank those who placed it there. https://t.co/ebzGPJstEl

Without doubt, the next @Conservatives candidate for Mayor of London should commit to developing and delivering a plan for a driverless tube. It’s insane how our capital is held to ransom every year by militant trade unionists, causing misery and disruption for millions.

Thank you @groveparkgroup for hosting a terrific summer party with live music and BBQ! It's a valuable organisation that does much for the local community. Lovely too to see @Jack_Emsley1 and @lgrigg23, who are running with me to represent Chiswick Homefields next year!

It's always a pleasure nattering with other #Chiswick locals on a Saturday morning... ...even if it is just to have a whine about how Labour-run Hounslow Council has neglected our streets and pavements (a common complaint!).

On 6th February last year whilst in Opposition Angela Rayner tabled and voted for a motion which sought to prevent outgoing ministers from receiving severance pay if they breach the ministerial code She surely cannot accept that severance pay now 1/

🎉 Chiswick Post Office has re-opened 🎉 Huge credit to the @CBIConservative Councillors whose petition racked up over 3,500 signatures, and who were in constant dialogue with the @PostOffice from day one seeking answers. https://t.co/OACPM0yjp3

On the anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic, we thought we'd answer a question that's often asked, "If they raised the Mary Rose, why not raise the Titanic?" Allow our scaled diagram to explain...

I am, once again, declaring that history will look incredibly kindly on Rishi Sunak's period in office.

It took the last benighted Tory government 14 years to slump to a net approval rating of minus 56, which it richly deserved. But Starmer/Labour have managed to plummet to the same depths in 14 months. A breath-taking achievement. Congratulations.
