👀 Sneak peak… We can’t wait to launch our manifesto with our members and patrons on Monday. We’ll be setting out why it’s the Conservatives who are the only party that will always stand up for our countryside.

This week, we launched our 2024 manifesto. We've set out common sense ideas to build on the work the Conservatives have done to back the British countryside, our farmers, and those in the most isolated areas. Read it here👉 bit.ly/ToryRural2024

Great to catch up on all things Glastonbury and Street with James Heappey this afternoon. Thanks to everyone at the Tin Pot Pasty for the tasty coffee & warm welcome. Couldn't miss the opportunity to discuss our amazing armed forces & veteran community, plus defense in general too.

Our team are passionate about our countryside, and the work the Conservatives are doing to protect our rural communities. Huge thanks to all those who helped to deliver our Manifesto Launch last week!

David will make an excellent Cllr for #Somerton. In the short time the LD have held the council they have put up taxes, are cutting services and are near bankruptcy.

Labour’s rural policies will crush our rural economy, with strict regulations on shooting and firearms licensing. Keir Starmer’s urban spokesmen do not understand the countryside. 🧵

87 words. That’s all Labour’s 125 page manifesto had to say on farming. Labour does not understand the countryside - it doesn’t care about it either.

I've heard these concerns echoed so many times by farmers and people across Somerset. The damage Labour could inflict on our countryside and rural way of life seems just an afterthought to them but will mean everything to those in our rural areas.

1st- a HUGE thank you to all those who have donated an amazing array of prizes. 2nd- a massive plea to my network to take a look at this fantastic silent auction raising funds for two little known but very special charities! Perfect feel good Christmas /self-gifting!
