I campaigned for a new #hospital at Lodge Hill in #Chattenden last year rather than Labour’s plan for increased excessive housing targets in our area. HE are holding 2 engagements sessions this week I urge residents to attend & share your views. detailsšŸ‘‰ chattenden.commonplace.is

🧵 1/3 Regrettably, the BCC has downgraded its forecast for UK growth. Under Labour, businesses are facing severe cost pressures with higher taxes, rising inflation, and a struggling economy. thetimes.com/article/6a20fa…

Another attack on local democracy! Unelected bureaucrats in Westminster want to strip councillors of their power to block bad planning schemes. Communities should decide what gets built, not central government diktats. This is how you lose trust in politics! #Planning #Democracy

Labour’s Schools Bill will enable local authorities to stop good schools from expanding, or staying the same size. This is madness. It’s a move which will see parental choice taken away, failing schools propped up & mediocrity rewarded. rb.gy/frvcwt

Labour are hell-bent on destroying school standards. A chorus of well respected voices from the sector have raised serious concerns about the damage the Schools Bill will have on our schools. The Education Sec is putting ideology and union bosses above what’s best for children.

The Sentencing Council’s decision to suspend their two-tier guidelines is a victory for common sense. I will keep fighting against two-tier justice under #TwoTierKeir

Yesterday was a clear victory for common sense. It should never have taken a court case to prove the definition of a woman. The law must work to ensure fairness, safety, and dignity for all & the Government needs to act. express.co.uk/news/politics/…

This morning’s figures lay bare the price the British people are paying for Rachel Reeves' choices. By fiddling the fiscal rules, increasing borrowing by Ā£30 billion a year and piling up debt - these figures are alarming but not surprising. These eyewatering sums are being

Labour’s trade deal with India reveals an astonishing betrayal of British workers. Starmer and Reeves hike National Insurance at home, then hand out exemptions to foreign workers. It’s a deal that rewards overseas labour while punishing our own. Once again, when Labour

Fishermen across our coastal communities are waking up to reports that Labour are handing the EU access to British waters for 12 years. That’s far worse than we anticipated. Labour have taken the view that our UK fishing industry can be sacrificed. telegraph.co.uk/politics/2025/…

Sinking the UK fishing industry isn’t something for Labour to boast about. They couldn’t negotiate their way out of a fishing net. This is their legacy.

We should have been renegotiating a better deal for UK fishermen in 2026. Instead, Labour have sunk the British fishing industry for the next decade. When Labour negotiates, Britain loses.

This is completely mad. There’s an accountant in Witney I’ve known for years. In 2022, I asked him to take a look at P&O’s accounts after the company sacked 786 ferry workers without warning. He is now P&O’s official auditor. Full story šŸ‘‡ itv.com/news/2025-06-1…
