More tax rises, fewer quality services. Labour’s control of our town is not helping us create a better Bolton.

The curse of Keir ‘I Have Full Confidence’ Starmer strikes again. But what this actually shows is how weak Starmer is. He didn’t even have the backbone to sack McSweeney, even when everyone knew he has to go. This weakness is damaging our country.

How can anyone believe this is acceptable? Speaking as someone with Pakistani heritage, I know of no reason why anyone would want to avoid a full national inquiry into the grooming gangs scandal. It’s not racism to suggest there is a problem. No stone should be left unturned.

“What the hell have Reform been doing? They’ve been a sideshow in this…..It is Kemi Badenoch six, Nigel Farage nil at the moment.” Michael Gove here highlighting what has been repeatedly pointed out. Reform have no interest in holding this Government to account. Nigel Farage

Out in in chilly Denton this morning with Charlotte Cadden, our excellent candidate, alongside a great team. 💙

Pubs are being decimated by the Labour government. Implementing their plans at a local level isn’t enough. The relief does little when it comes on top of national insurance hikes. We must explore all options to reduce the burden and keep these community pubs open.

Nothing new from a Labour government. Unemployment also pushed up by surging redundancies in the face of higher tax bills and the looming spectre of Labour’s Unemployment Rights Bill.

It's Pancake Day! And Keir Starmer is celebrating his 15th successful flip since getting into power. But can you match his high score? Try your luck with our brand-new interactive game (available on your desktop browser) 👇 FlippingUTurns.com

What we propose this evening is not radical. It is common sense. It is a compromise. We accept that we cannot do everything. But we can choose to do the right thing. We can spend less on ourselves and let the people keep more of their own money.

Kudos to Kemi Badenoch for handling this as she did. No serious politician has been talking about helping students on Plan 2 - something instigated before her time in parliament. Ambushing politicians doesn't help: conversation does. That's only happening now because of Kemi.

Martin - you say that Kemi Badenoch's proposal to cut Plan 2 student loan interest is "too late for most" - that because most graduates never clear their loans, reducing the interest rate won't change what they actually repay. I think you're right on the maths. But I think your

A good evening out in Gorton & Denton, supporting our brilliant candidate, Charlotte Cadden. Voters are clearly sick of how Labour are damaging our country. The difference they’re seeing with the Conservatives under Kemi Badenoch is huge. Credible plans with the backbone to deliver.

Today is an opportunity to vote for experience and a stronger economy. Charlotte Cadden’s 30 year service in policing sets her apart from other candidates in Gorton & Denton. She is the only one standing up for what residents want, not simply trying to make a name for herself.

I entered politics to improve services, yes, but more importantly, to trust you, the people of Bolton, to spend your own money better than the council. Ask yourself: will they spend it better than you? theboltonnews.co.uk/news/25889151.…

An exciting update on our ‘Welcome to Bromley Cross/Egerton’ signs!

This is a Spring Statement written by Chat-GPT…

Rachel Reeves is in a parallel universe 🧑‍🚀    She needs to get out and talk to people in the real world to see the harm she is doing.    The Conservatives are the only Party with a plan to get Britain working again.

As significant today as it was then. From the fields of England, across the seas, to the Commonwealth, we’re bound by a simple principle. Liberty and law is equal to all.

I met with Shadow Transport Secretary Richard Holden MP about the poor service we’ve been seeing at Bromley Cross station from Northern. He agreed a train operator run by the Department for Transport should do better and will raise it with the minister, pushing for improvements sooner.

A credible plan for a credible defence. Despite Labour being bounced into higher defence spending targets by Kemi and Trump, they have no plan. Only the Conservatives have a costed way to bring down benefits and fund our troops. This is the priority for our national renewal.
