Future historians will struggle to explain how a democratic system could produce outcomes so at odds with what the electorate actually wanted.

A billion a month on UC benefits for overseas nationals? This is mathematically unsustainable, even before you get on to considering whether it’s morally right or wrong. Bravo Neil O'Brien for shining a light on this.

The National Convention officer elections have been announced, a good couple of months earlier than last year. When I stood for the NC Chairmanship last year, I realised that very few members understood what the NC is. Allow me to help: joannareeves.uk/what-is-the-na…

A throwback to last year’s National Convention campaign. I was calling for the Party to support our council election campaigns as staunchly as our parliamentary campaigns and I’m sorry didn’t get the chance to take that to the Party Board as NC Chair.

If Baroness Casey is now calling for a national inquiry into grooming gangs, it proves what I’ve been saying all year: only a full statutory inquiry will expose the truth, bring justice for survivors, and stop this evil from happening again. Yet every time we’ve called for

This is humiliating for Starmer. He’s been forced to do the right thing by the review that he commissioned to avoid doing the right thing. He put political convenience ahead of justice for the girls who were abused. He should hang his head in shame.

Balancing the need to build more homes with the desire to protect green spaces is one of the conundrums of our time. So it was encouraging to hear common sense from Simon Clarke and Kevin Hollinrake MP at the Onward YIMBY and Conservative Friends of Turkey reception last night. Rebuilding the

After very nearly five years as Association Chair for Holborn & St Pancras Conservatives I stood down from the Chair’s role last night. It has been an absolute honour to lead our fantastic Association and I am very grateful for the support I have received and the friends I have made along the way.

Politics often feels like there’s a mountain to climb so it was a joy to hike up a real mountain with the ever inspiring Gillian Keegan and Michael Keegan🇺🇦. The perfect day in the sun with wonderful friends ☀️⛰️

From my #GE24 campaign. I saw that a Labour government would punish aspiration through punitive taxation #propertytax

There is so much wastage of public funds across our bloated state, yet the Labour government seeks ways to penalise the aspirational and hardworking through punitive taxation, in order to maintain that waste.

Why are white, working class boys getting suspended from school more than their peers? I went on GB News this morning to discuss this complex issue with Andrew Pierce and Miriam Cates #backtoschool #education
