This is the problem of making policy on the hoof - it has unintended consequences which in this case are cruel to many elderly who are living on a financial cliff edge. It was too late to do this without harming many of our most vulnerable theguardian.com/society/articl…

Keir Starmer says we gave him the ‘worst possible inheritance’ 🥴

Far from vindicating the government, this letter raises more serious questions for them. If civil servants signed off Estimates to parliament that they knew were false, it is a breach of the Civil Service Code irrespective of any decision by the last government to hold a Spending

Fantastic set of results in Paris, but win or lose, congratulations to our outstanding Paralympian competitors. You did us proud 👏👏👏

We can only act on Conservative principles when we're in power. We need someone who can win.

Disgraceful! Did she also cry: "Let them eat cake!" I'd like the Chancellor to come to my ward and tell some of the retired elderly trying to manage on tiny annual incomes why there's one rule for them and one for her! #2TierKeir

🚨 10 former Defra UK Secretaries of State and ministers urge the government to protect the nature-friendly farming budget. "the government needs to put its money where its mouth is and keep the farming budget intact or - better still - increase it in line with inflation."

Whilst Ed Davey is jet skiing into Lib Dem conference, I’m in his constituency. It’s clear that the Lib Dems are just another protest party. It’s Conservatives that serve the British people, lead from the front and act on our principles.

🌳⬆🌹⬇ A third Conservative GAIN from Labour this week. Now in Marine, Worthing! Congratulations and welcome to the team Cllr Thomas Taylor!🌟

James, Kemi and Rob are all friends. We're not arguing over character or principles. This is about who you want to serve, lead and act for this country as the next Conservative Prime Minister.

Keir Starmer is a struggling father of 2 on just £170,000 a year living in a pokey 3,000 sq ft apartment on the only street in England with free heating. He needs your help to put clothes on his wife’s back before the next fashion show.  gofundkeir.com

Spot on from Tom Tugendhat - we have swapped enterprise & innovation for regulation & risk-aversion. This will only accelerate under Labour. We need a change to grow the economy 📈 telegraph.co.uk/politics/2024/…
