Brexit, actually.

Excl: Lord Sugar writes open letter to Labour voters to urge them to vote Tory - as the only way of saving the Labour Party. “On Thursday, it’s time to tell Corbyn to resign and get a sensible person to take the helm and make Labour great again”. thesun.co.uk/news/10517153/…

People who work hard deserve to be well paid. We’ll help people with the cost of living by making sure people keep more of the money they earn through keeping their taxes low. We will not raise income tax, national insurance nor VAT. #Pepper4Blaydon #Blaydon

If I am elected on Thursday, I will be honoured and privileged to serve the decent, hard-working and generous-spirited people of the Blaydon constituency. Thank you for making this campaign such an enjoyable experience for me as a candidate. facebook.com/pepper4blaydon…

Our Director met with @AaronBell4NUL in Newcastle-under-Lyme to talk about how high #businessrates are giving us empty shops, like the one behind them. The next Chancellor must fulfil the Conservative manifesto promise to cut business rates for #retail.
