The government's latest consultation on local government reorganisation tables a proposal that no major council in West Sussex put forward. It is a bad and costly idea. Let's keep West Sussex together | Crawley crawleyconservatives.org.uk/news/lets-keep…

I am delighted that Michael Winstanley is standing for the Conservatives in Makerfield, he will make an excellent champion of the area having lived in, worked in and represented the local community for years. I know there have been calls from a minority of people for the Conservatives to stand aside in this fight. That will never happen. The people of Makerfield and Britain deserve the opportunity to vote for a party that is committed to reducing the welfare bill, that champions business and understands the perils of nationalisation, that is open and transparent about who it gets its donations from and doesn't try to hide millions in crypto funding. The only party on the ballot in Makerfield that offers that and a clear plan for our country is the Conservative Party, and anyone who supports those values shouldn't hesitate to vote for Michael Winstanley in Makerfield.

21 kicked out. 28 defected. 39 resigned. 5 suspended. 1 disqualified. 5 lost seats. That's approximately 99 Reform UK councillors and representatives who have left the party. 22 of them since the local elections just two weeks ago. The party claims "some of the strongest vetting in the country." Here's the full list 👇

Some pundits on GB News seem to prophesise that the Makerfield by-election could mean the end of the Labour Party. They don't appear to understand that socialism and social democracy are belief systems that endure all over the world, and that will continue to be the case. Timeless ideals, whether or not shared by me, are not simply extinguished by one electoral contest. #Labourparty

Kemi is by far the most incredible leader of the Conservative Party I have seen since Margaret Thatcher. I spoke with her just before she left to deliver this tour de force. Just watch this bravura performance at the State opening of Parliament this week.

As Labour self-implode, Kemi Badenoch gets ever more confident and impressive. Suspect the polls will start to reflect this as Reform come under more intense scrutiny.

Whoa… WHAT?!! Farage told us it was all for security - where did he suddenly get £1.4m in cash to buy a property if it wasn’t from Harborne’s £5m ‘gift’ ? This stinks more every day.

This is @KemiBadenoch’s chamber, you’re just sitting in it.

This is what people voted for...fucking hell :D Bizarre moment Reform Councillor Kieran Lay, Thorne and Moorends Ward, asks Full Council for measures to monitor UFO activity as part of reopening Doncaster Sheffield Airport. Step 1- Work towards cutting council tax. Step 2- Set up a panel for UAP sightings. Couldn't make this up... #doncasterreform #reform

If anyone can rebuild the electoral coalition that won the Tories power in 2019, Kemi can mol.im/a/15802393

Welfare should be for the most vulnerable. Conservatives believe everyone who can work should work.

@Conservatives @CCHQPress Good grief. The Global Combat Ship project started in 1998. Twenty-eight years later, we have not completed a single frigate.

Scrap the Chagos Islands Surrender. Use that money to boost the delivery of Royal Navy frigates. That’s what the Conservatives would do. Vote Conservative on 7 May 🇬🇧

King Charles has been a triumph on this US trip. His speeches yesterday were the most brilliant act of much-needed diplomacy that I can remember in a long time. He was charming, funny, courageous, and reminded everyone why the Monarchy remains one of Britain’s greatest assets.

Brilliant, bold and challenging address by King Charles to the U.S. Congress which was (very unusually!) united in regular standing ovations. The best speech of his life, right when his country needed him to step up and repair the Special Relationship. Bravo, Your Majesty! 🇬🇧 🇺🇸

‘Do this in remembrance of me.’ Wishing you and your family a reflective Maundy Thursday.

The era of decline is over. @KemiBadenoch will Axe the Carbon Tax entirely and stop the deindustrialisation of Britain, paid for by getting Britain drilling.

If Keir Starmer wanted to, he could. He could pass legislation to unlock North Sea oil and gas, and we’d support it. It’s time to Get Britain Drilling.

As if the challenges facing local councils were not enough, the inept Labour government has foisted chaos on Sussex in the name of "Local Government Reorganisation". Local Government Reorganisation has become a shambles | Crawley crawleyconservatives.org.uk/news/local-gov…

.@KemiBadenoch will unlock the power of the North Sea and cut your energy bills 🇬🇧
