Kicking off the day with our wonderful farming community. They play a vital role in the community, tapestry, and economy of Cheshire and Warrington. And, no surprise, serve a brilliant breakfast! 🍳

Delighted to hear James Cleverly🇬🇧 make the case for aspiration and home ownership. Beautiful housing and thriving communities should not be the preserve of the better off 🎯

Really pleased to talk with Kaleigh Watterson about the huge opportunity of the mayoralty and my focus on making the good life easier for all: better jobs, homes, infrastructure, and thriving towns and villages.

The Conservatives will crack down on crime. 🔵 10,000 more police 🔵 TREBLE stop and search 🔵 An end to non-crime hate incidents 🔵 Abolish the Sentencing Council to stop Labour's TWO-TIER JUSTICE See what people think at #CPC25 👇 #ChatToMatt

Reports of our demise are greatly exaggerated. Resolutely pro-fun, no party parties like the Conservative Party. Thanks to LGBT+ Conservatives for organising 💙

Agree with Daniel Finkelstein that the Tory focus must be on economics. This really struck me in his column. A healthy perspective that the public just don’t care about politics most days. Amongst demand for policy detail it reminds us that their sense you share their values is just

It's just under two years before people in Cheshire and Warrington will vote for their first directly elected mayor - but we've already had the first candidate announced bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Everyone deserves the good life - owning your own home is central to that. As mayor I’ll work tirelessly to make this a reality for everyone

The hostages released today have shown superhuman endurance in the face of evil. The abduction of men, women and children on Oct 7th was a calculated cruelty to break body, mind and soul after inflicting the mindless horror of rape and murder. No cause, no grievance, can ever

Goodness, what a paragraph indeed. The living hostages are free, thank goodness. But their ordeal, far from it.

Brutal analysis from Shore Capital. The government does not understand small business and entrepreneurs. The budget is an appallingly timed Christmas killer, with policy choices that suppress the consumer economy.

This is a terrific article for anyone interested in how foreign policy is working in the age of Trump. It’s a new order we will need to adjust to.

Here's the test for Rachel Reeves. Control spending and spare us the tax rises.

I’ve been involved in helping to improve education for over a decade. It’s as close to a silver bullet in terms of life chances as it is possible to get. Conservatives have always championed high standards in education, and as mayor I will work with schools across Cheshire and

2026 will be a National Year of Reading. Hugely proud of the work National Literacy Trust has done to bring this to life, and the positive, world-opening, life enhancing joy of reading. Go All In!
