6O’s Child

Arizona just declared for @realDonaldTrump, making it a clean sweep of all swing states! Massive red wave success! It is beyond a landslide, as Republicans won: – Presidency – Popular vote – Senate majority – House majority – State governor majority – State legislature majority The few states that didn’t go red are mostly ones without voter ID requirements. Must be a coincidence 🙄 This is an extremely clear mandate from the people for significant change!

My parents always took us to this spot in the Lake District on holiday. Great to be back there with @GNev2 – to speak about my plans for the country.

🚨 NEW: The Tories issue an appeal to Reform voters "A vote for Reform won’t mean 5 years of Labour, it would mean a generation. If you’re thinking about voting Reform, and a generation under Labour scares you, there’s only one way to prevent it: vote Conservative" [@thetimes]
