The Conservative Party screwed up in London. The city can be competitive again but we need someone representing a different vision of conservatism: pragmatic and forward-looking. Focused on investment & infrastructure. I am going to work towards this.

I’m lucky enough to have Ron as a colleague on Hounslow Council, and have seen first hand just how hard he works for Chiswick - he’ll be an incredible representative on the London Assembly so, if you’re in the South West, make sure to give him your vote today!

Sadiq Khan confronted over people 'running around with machetes' on the streets of London earlier this week:

“I think the Tory candidate should stop watching The Wire.'

via Calgie

A week ago the Tory candidate for London mayor raised the machete crisis in London.

Sadiq khan’s response? “I think the Tory candidate should stop watching The Wire.”

Sadiq Khan has ‘completely lost control’ of London’s streets, say families of knife crime victims #frontpage

Dan Poulter defection not exactly sparking Lee Anderson scale of tremors in the Tory Party....

He is standing down at the next election anyway.

Chag Pesach Sameach.

My message to Jewish communities here in the UK and around the world this Passover.

This is absolutely chilling. If this 'openly Jewish' man cannot walk the streets when these pro-Palestinian marches are happening, they are clearly not safe and should be banned.

Horrific to see graffiti calling for 'intifada' on Brentford High Street - well done Laura for calling it out, hopefully action taken to swiftly remove and find those responsible...

Read my statement on the Iranian regime’s reckless attack against Israel.

My journey started 42 years ago in a banana leafed thatched mud hut in Uganda. I am now a teacher, a rugby coach and a Councillor. On #2ndMay2024 I am asking residents in #Hounslow #Feltham , #Twickenham #Kingston #Surbiton #Chiswick and #Richmond to lend me their support by…

This week, my great-grandma, Lily Ebert, a 100-year-old Auschwitz survivor, became a great-great-grandma.

'I never expected to survive the Holocaust. Now I have five beautiful generations. The Nazis did not win!'

From near-death at Auschwitz to five generations of Jewish life.

Ideology replaced the best interests of children, thousands of whom have now been failed in this modern-day scandal.

Such failures in child protection must never take place again.

Thank you Dr Cass for your groundbreaking independent review.
