Cllr Endri Llabuti

I’m Endri Llabuti, Conservative Councillor for Purley Oaks and Riddlesdown. For all casework, please email endri.llabuti@croydon.gov.uk Promoted by Endri Llabuti of 36 Brighton Road, CR8 2LG.

Great to welcome @KemiBadenoch to Purley to meet local shopkeepers and hear first-hand about the challenges they face. Our zero-tolerance approach to crime is delivering results. Crime in Croydon is down 4.1%, robberies down 29%, and antisocial behaviour in the town centre down 24% over the past three years. Lots done. Lots more to do. Keep Croydon on track.

Brick by Brick bankrupted Croydon. £200m tied up. £1.4bn debt. Three bankruptcy notices. Now Labour want to “consider” bringing council-run development back. It’s Brick by Brick 2.0. Croydon must never go back. croydonconservatives.com/bxb2 #CroydonLive

One of the shadiest scandals in British political history. And Labour ministers’ fingerprints are all over it. It’s time to release the Mandelson files.

@JasonForCroydon @CroydonTories Dream Team 💙

Croydon is back on track - let’s keep it going. Today @CroydonTories are announcing our candidates for the 2026 council elections in May. Since 2022 we’ve stabilised the finances after Labour’s bankruptcy, tackled crime and antisocial behaviour, cleaned up our streets, protected parks and green spaces, and brought investment back to Croydon. There’s more to do - but this team will help keep Croydon moving forward and restore pride in every community👇 croydonconservatives.com/candidates2026

Croydon Council has worked closely with the Metropolitan Police to support the trial of Live Facial Recognition (LFR) in our town centre to help identify suspects on police watchlists. The pilot has led to a significant number of arrests, including individuals suspected of serious offences and violence against women and girls, demonstrating that this pioneering technology is helping to make our streets safer. I look forward to continuing to work with the Met Police to tackle crime, as part of our zero-tolerance approach to broken windows, restoring pride in our borough and making Croydon a safer place for all our residents.

Kids shouldn’t be glued to screens for hours at a time. Our plan to raise the age of consent for social media to 16 will help children reach their full potential.

I’m not allowed to say it in Parliament, but I can here: today the Prime Minister lied and lied and lied again. And he did so to smear a man defending our veterans in court against the Labour government. Labour have attacked everyone from farmers, to businesses, to veterans, so now they attack David Wolfson, a brilliant KC, to take the attention away from their terrible decisions. I’m proud to have David in my team. He doesn’t deserve to have his name smeared by low-rent politicians trying to distract from their own failures. What little integrity the Prime Minister held he surrendered with that shameful performance today.

The true cost of Rachel Reeves’ benefits budget will shock you. Labour are taking from hardworking people, and using it to pay people on welfare more. This has to stop. We have to Get Britain Working Again.

These evil crimes were deliberately covered up by those in authority who were more interested in so-called community relations and in avoiding being called racist than they were in protecting young children That was an abject moral failure It should not have taken several months and the threat of vote in Parliament for the Govt to agree to a national statutory inquiry in the first place. And it should not have taken another six months to appoint a chair For many survivors, the truth has been hidden for far too long The truth, at last, must come out

We’ve secured £495,000 from the Home Office to make Croydon safer. New CCTV, Safer Croydon Pods, and targeted action in hotspot areas will build on the progress we’re already making - with knife crime down 19.5% and robbery down 16%. My message is simple: zero tolerance for crime, and a safer Croydon for everyone. #RestoringPride #Croydon

Another big milestone for Purley Pool. The scheme is now with the GLA for its Stage 2 review - the next step towards delivering a brand new leisure centre in the heart of Purley. We’re getting this done, just as promised. jasonperry.uk/news/mayor-jas…

Great to visit Coulsdon today to support the Christmas festival - a fantastic showcase of local community spirit. Also popped into Bombaylicious to chat about Small Business Saturday and the importance of backing our local traders all year round. Proud of the brilliant businesses that keep Croydon thriving. #SmallBizSatUK

Angela Rayner dodged £40,000 in stamp duty. She didn’t fess up. She got found out. For weeks Labour ministers claimed that she had done nothing wrong. The Prime Minister defended her and refused to sack her. But while she was evading her taxes, Labour spent the summer planning to raise property taxes on ordinary law-abiding families at the Budget this November. Angela Rayner was leading the charge, writing to the Treasury in a memo that was then leaked, demanding higher stamp duty. It’s nothing less than pure hypocrisy. And now the dust is settling on this scandal, it’s clear that Labour has no moral authority to raise taxes on family homes. Last summer, when I was Shadow Housing Secretary, I faced Rayner across the House of Commons. I warned that while she might feel great then, it wouldn't be long before things started to go downhill for her. But even I didn’t expect that things would blow up this quickly. Rayner's departure from Government was inevitable as soon as evidence of her tax impropriety came to light - exposed, brilliantly, by a team of researchers at Conservative HQ and our media. I've lost count of the times Rayner was first out of the blocks to call for a Conservative minister to fall on their sword immediately. But when her own time came, she desperately tried to cling on. Keir Starmer dithered because he was too weak to act. Even when the evidence was clear in the Ethics Adviser’s report, the Prime Minister was too weak to sack her, letting her resign instead. It's one rule for them, and another rule for the rest of us. This summer has been an endless round of tax speculation. Each story leaked from the Treasury. Every one of them designed to soften the ground at the budget. But British families know that the only reason their taxes will be going up again is because Rachel Reeves raised them last year, killing growth, and trapping us in her tax doom loop. We will pay the Reeves’ tax penalty unless the Government listens to our simple message that we as a country have to start living within our means. That means cutting spending. Labour’s new tax plans include more taxes on British families buying or saving for a home, helping their children to get on the property ladder, or saving for retirement. They even want to create a new annual family homes tax. And all while the Housing Secretary was dodging £40,000 in stamp duty. Conservatives have said enough is enough. On the very day when the former Deputy Prime Minister admitted underpaying her property taxes, we forced a vote in Parliament. Our position is clear: no new taxes on family homes. What did Labour do? Refuse to rule out hiking them further by voting down our commitment. After Labour’s catastrophic failure to get a grip on welfare spending, the Chancellor has now set her sights on the family home. One of the tax rises she is considering is adding capital gains tax to homes. This would cost the average British family £14,640, rising to £23,000 in the South East and £33,000 in London. When I visited families in Reigate last Monday to talk about housing, they told me they simply couldn’t afford that. Fresh from her disastrous Family Farms Tax, Rachel Reeves is even considering scrapping the rule which allows parents to help their children to get on the property ladder or pay a deposit for a flat. It would mean death duties and inheritance tax would be hiked even further. There’s nothing that’s sacred for this Labour Party, which knows the price of everything and the value of nothing. The British public who play by the rules, simply will not stand for a prime minister who repeatedly defended a minister failing to pay their taxes, and who simultaneously attempts to extract ever more out of law-abiding citizens when they do the right thing - working, saving, investing. The question is not just “will they raise taxes on homes?”. It's “can they?”. My answer is a simple - no. Labour have driven our economy into the ground. And Reform would double down on their mistakes. Only the Conservatives believe our country must live within its means. Only the Conservatives have serious plans to bring down spending so we can lower tax, and protect family homes from new taxes.

AHEAD OF THE CURVE Just finished a meeting with @realartlaffer in Nashville - the man behind the Laffer Curve and a key adviser to President Reagan and Margaret Thatcher. We discussed the simple truth his curve illustrates: there comes a point where higher taxes raise less, not more. Rachel Reeves is gearing up for even more tax rises, putting our economy at risk. It’s time for Labour to reverse course.

Rachel Reeves' Closing Down Sale... Coming to a high street near you. I spoke to @Iromg about my visit to @LoveBeales. It doesn't have to be this way.

We are all behind you @CPFC 🦅 Bring it home 🏆
