How to generate faster economic growth is the biggest challenge facing our country. Sir Keir won’t achieve it by borrowing, taxing and spending more. We need more homes in our cities, faster infrastructure projects, reliably cheaper energy, and people in work not on welfare.

Great to meet with Sir John Hall, a true champion of Newcastle and the North East.

On the NHS, like much else, we need to change.

Grateful to have the support of Mark Francois MP. As Mark says, our party needs to change. We need to rediscover our sense of self-belief, to adopt clear and principled policies and passionately argue our case once again👇 express.co.uk/news/politics/…

I’m privileged to have the support of my brilliant friend and colleague Neil O'Brien 👇

Looking forward to welcoming members and supporters to my campaign event later this morning. Be sure to tune in! x.com/i/broadcasts/1…

Don’t let them tell you otherwise.

5 weeks ago I took my campaign on the road, starting by visiting all four nations. I’ve spoken to thousands of members and reached out to voters who rejected us. Their message is crystal clear. The Conservative Party must change.

The Conservative Party must change.

📢 Endorsement: After spending the summer listening to leadership contenders I've decided to back Robert Jenrick to be the next leader of the Conservatives. Robert understands the 'common ground': he is the best placed candidate to take us to victory at the next General Election

To win again, the Conservative Party needs to change. We need to breathe fresh life and energy into our movement. As your leader, that’s exactly what I’ll deliver.

Why are Labour making it harder for parents to know which schools are good and bad? Schools should be run in the interests of children not trade unions.

The Conservative Party needs a new Leader who will fiercely defend our British way of life and give us hope for the future of our nation. I believe Robert Jenrick is the right man for the job. He speaks from the heart and says it how it is! A refreshing change. He has my vote! 🇬🇧

I will unite the Conservative Party around our enduring principles.

Thank you to all colleagues who supported me today. Our party and country need change. We will deliver it.

My friend Priti Patel MP is a relentless champion for Conservatism whose experience will be invaluable as we rebuild. Her campaign means the case for party reform is now unarguable. We must democratise the party, empower members and grow our membership.

Why is Keir Starmer treating pensioners in England and Wales so badly?

This is deeply concerning. As the dedicated veterans Minister, Rt Hon Johnny Mercer fought tirelessly for veterans, and particularly veterans who served in Northern Ireland. Labour must urgently demonstrate the same commitment.

Welcome to Starmer’s Britain. Cuts for pensioners. Cash for trade unions. Tax rises for working people. Party first, country last.
