Govt minister Matthew Pennycook yesterday : "I have never once suggested we'd abolish leasehold outright" Govt minister Matthew Pennycook on the 27th Jan 2026: "This package as a whole, as I have said, will end the leasehold system in its entirety and in a single Parliament"

@sandieshoes @Dotspod1 Such a shame that the provision of all the free stuff means we can’t properly fund other areas such as defence #Priorities

Starmer on a school visit this morning. “Im a big fan of ‘free’ childcare. I think it’s brilliant from 9months to 4years, completely free childcare” Only a socialist thinks that’s free 🤨

Last night's results included 2 holds and one gain from the Lib Dems. Not bad from a party who, according to our rivals, are on our last legs. Our message is being heard and people are liking what they hear. #VoteConservative #NeverVoteReformUK

Keir Starmer can't - or won't - tell us if he spoke to Peter Mandelson before appointing him as ambassador. The strange absence of Starmer's opinion in the Mandelson files. Now the curious case of McSweeney's 'stolen' phone. There's something fishy going on.

MANDELSON LATEST: It’s looking more and more like a huge government cover up Mandelson not asked to disclose his messages Morgan McSweeney has his phone “stolen” a few days before Parliamentary vote that required him to provide it Hundreds of messages on govt devices have disappeared All despite Parliament voting to release all the info Oh, and the Chief Whip overheard saying at the time of the key Parliamentary vote that they wouldn’t release the info due as it would damage the Trump relationship 🙄 A government of “openness, of collaboration and transparency”?

Clacton MP Giles Watling appeared on Question Time in 2018. In Clacton.

At least now little girls who dream of Olympic medals will know that biological males can't cheat their way onto their podium...or punch them relentlessly in the face and get a medal for it. Credit to Sharron Davies and Martina Navratilova, who spoke up despite attacks from those who should've known better. They spoke up when it was easier to stay quiet and paid the price in lost income and support.

Due to a lack of support from the party, I am withdrawing my candidacy for Reform with immediate effect. I thank all those who have supported me, and I wish the remaining candidates well.

If there is anyone in Westminster who believes this phone containing potentially damning messages mysteriously went missing/was stolen, I have yet to meet them...

@JAHeale How many have prior connections to the areas they’re seeking to represent and how may were selected by local members as opposed to being appointed?

Reform have today announced their list of candidates for Wales. Among familiar names are Llyr Powell of Caerphilly, Mark Reckless of Ukip fame and ex Tory spad Corey Edwards. Longtime stalwart Gareth Beer gets in too as does Laura Anne Jones, the party’s first MS.

@DanJTPitt @LadyJLondon @Conservatives Congratulations. Hopefully you’ll find a constituency that you already have strong ties.

I'm absolutely delighted to say that I am now on the @Conservatives national List of Approved Candidates. I'm looking forward to finding a parliamentary seat to fight based on my core principles of sound economics, cultural revival and flourishing families and local communities.

Tory backbencher Peter Fortune with a zinger: "As we move towards the Easter recess, I am sure the Prime Minister's thoughts are turning to the miracle of resurrection"

Starmer realising what the country has known since July 2024, he is completely out of his depth #PMQs

@JamesCleverly @timmyvoe Surely messages between McSweeney & Mandleson could be accessed from Mandoeson’s phone if McSweeney’s is no longer available.

As I said just now. The rules don’t need “tightening up” they just need to be followed. Labour’s defence seems to be “we aren’t deceitful, we’re incompetent”! Either way they are not fit for office.

We were specifically told by Steve Reed on Sunday the theft pre-dated the issues relating to Mandelson. I’m going to say it again. This is a blatant cover-up. And Ministers - from the Prime Minister down - are openly lying about it.

Oh look, Rachel Reeves herself *DEMANDED* the policy that she now (correctly) says "pushed up borrowing, interest rates, inflation, and mortgage costs". She's now effectively blaming herself for the Liz Truss 'crash'. x.com/TimesRadio/sta…

@JamesCleverly We need more homes but they need to reflect the needs of residents rather than the aspirations of developers. All too often, developers are being allowed to build 4 bed homes where plenty exist already but where there are insufficient numbers of smaller homes.

I meet Jill Scott MBE last week, she is bringing her leadership from the pitch to Parliament to champion playing fields and green spaces. Labour’s changes to planning rules threaten these vital community assets and sideline key protections. We need the right homes in the right places, but that must not come at the cost of access to sport and recreation. Build on brownfield, not playing fields.

The Jackdaw gas field in the North Sea could be up and running in just a few months. Enough gas to heat 1.6 million homes. Every single drop will go into our pipes. Ed Miliband is blocking it. Madness.

10 great patriotic Conservatives who are worth following. FOLLOW, REPOST and FOLLOW BACK SLOWLY, 5 or 6 every 20 mins. @JacquiThornton1 @Rob_n3wmalden @joey8671 @agreen1000 @quinfan10 @ynk96m4c8h @mrmrbrewer @fullabeanz @whyteforAEast @CharlieFitzh
