Good news, we need a strong and positive relationship with our nearest neighbour, and one that shares our values and challenges. #ententecordiale toujours

Very productive campaigning session in Midsomer Norton. Lib Dem controlled BANES Council has not invested in Midsomer Norton/Radstock - bus services being cut etc and people are noticing. They will respond in the May local elections..⁦Jacob Rees-Mogg⁩ ⁦Cllr Lucy Trimnell 🫖⁩

As the world becomes more volatile and competition between states becomes more intense, the UK must be ready to stand our ground. We’re investing in our armed forces for the long-term so we’re ready for the challenges of today and of the future.

Fantastic news for the UK shipbuilding industry, levelling up and jobs.

If you missed my budget and my plan for how we’re going to grow the economy, here are 11 things from the budget in 60 seconds, start the clock 👀

Why don’t we have legally enshrined bereavement leave in this country for the loss of a child, spouse, parent? I’ve never considered this before, but on reflection it seems as logical as maternity/paternity leave. The beginning and the end.

Absolutely superb event organised by ⁦Conservative Environment Network⁩ last night with ⁦Sajid Javid⁩ delivering the annual Sam Barker Memorial Lecture - reminding us how the private sector is key to unlocking investment in the race to achieve Net Zero and grow our economy- at the same time..

Great and wet campaigning session in Priory Vale, Swindon for ⁦Vinay Manro⁩ over the weekend. Some old and some new faces for me but as efficient a campaigning team as ever!

The UK must be much more ruthless if it wants to compete with other nations in the critically important and indeed lucrative world of maritime decarbonisation - my blog for Conservative Environment Network below:

I feel so sorry for everyone involved in this: for the Edwards family, for the complainants, and for Huw himself. No criminal offences were committed, so it’s a purely personal tragedy for everyone involved. Let’s hope the press leave them all alone now.

Very productive campaigning session for Faye Purbrick this afternoon in Frome - Faye will make a superb MP - kind, intelligent, empathetic and hard-working. @SFCAssociation

I don’t do this job for you Steve. I do it for the lovely older chap with me- Tremaine. He was kicked out of my unit just for being gay. So today I sat with him in the house as he wept whilst the PM apologised for that policy. He’s quieter than you, but a hundred times the man.

Great to catch up with old friends at CCHQ calling for ⁦Faye Purbrick⁩ ahead of tomorrow’s Somerton and Frome by-election ⁦Tom Bennett⁩
