Starmer, Burnham, Farage, Polanski…These men have one thing in common. They all want nationalisation. That will mean companies run by politicians but paid for with YOUR money. There’s only one party that stands against their failed ideas and that’s the Conservatives.

What a result…That makes a hat-trick of #ConGain by-elections on @fyldecouncil since GE24 💪🏻 Con 1,185 60% (+33%) Ref 534 27% (+27%) Lab 129 7% (-13%) Lib 107 5% (+5%) Conservative GAIN from Independent No IND this time (Previously 53%) A huge congratulations to Adam not only on a stunning victory, but a superb, hard-fought and inspiring campaign. A true champion of Kirkham.

1,000 jobs are lost in our North Sea oil and gas sector every month, as a direct result of Labour's ban on new drilling licences. It's an act of national self-harm that will harm Aberdeen’s and Britain's economic future. @RussellFindlay1 and I agree - this cannot go on.

This is why @KemiBadenoch is the most popular leader in Britain ⬇️

news.sky.com/story/aston-vi… Congrats to @AVFCOfficial on winning its 1st European title for 44 years & to @UnaiEmery_ in securing his 5th @EuropaLeague win - on the back of 3 times with @SevillaFC and once with @VillarrealCF The sun will be shining on Birmingham B6 for days to come

JUST ANNOUNCED: Former Mayor of Wigan @Winstamike has been selected as the Conservative Candidate for the Makerfield by-election.

This country needs a Government that has got its act together. Instead we’ve got Keir Starmer losing his moral compass and backsliding on his support for Ukraine.

Tue am: UK signs G7 agreement reaffirming "unwavering commitment" to impose "severe costs" on Russia Tue pm: @10DowningStreet says it'll ban all Russian oil products refined in 3rd countries, but not yet Shameful action by PM posing as leader of Coalition of Willing to Ukraine

After 18 months of “standing up to Putin” the Labour govt quietly issued a licence allowing imports of Russian oil refined in third countries. Yesterday Labour MPs voted AGAINST UK oil and gas licences. We are now importing from Russia instead of drilling in the North Sea. Insane.

The Arsenal. Your Premier League champions.

Well done to the brave young women in JD Sports Ilford who took on the thugs trying to loot their store & retrieving some of the stolen goods Shoplifters like this belong in prison. Shame Labour plans to abolish prison sentences for 99.9% of shoplifters

Labour isn't working - latest Payrolled employment slumped by another 100,000 in April, after a downwardly revised fall of 28,000 in March... 🙄

mylondon.news/news/south-lon… Good to hear that 3 men were arrested y'day re the knife fight that broke out at Streatham Common station at 11.25am Whilst good to hear that only minor injuries were sustained in this affray, thoughts are with those passengers on the platform at the time

🚨 VICTORY INCOMING 🚨 According to reports in today’s @thetimes, after months of campaigning led by @KemiBadenoch & the @Conservatives team, it looks like @RachelReevesMP is going to scrap @@UKLabour’s plan to hike fuel duty 🇬🇧⛽️ A huge victory for drivers across the UK!
