Got round London Marathon in 4.45hrs, progress on 2025. The crowds were incredible, the experience exhilarating & humbling. I ran in memory of Laura for @NLondonHospice. I’ve raised £24k over 2 years, thanks to all you wonderful people for sponsoring me 🙏🏻

Sky News political editor @BethRigby has completed the London Marathon for a second time in honour of one of her childhood friends - and to raise money for the North London Hospice. Rigby says running the marathon has been 'quite satisfying'.

The sun was shining - so I was out with the team in New Addington!
Vote @jasonforcroydon and @croydontories to keep Croydon on track, we can’t risk going backwards with anyone else at the helm!

Sacking the civil servant, appointed after Sir Keir Starmer had already announced he was appointing Mandelson, is pointless.
Fleeing to France the morning after the revelation that same man, a sex offender’s close friend, failed national security vetting, is pointless.
Keir Starmer telling everyone he is frustrated about this situation, is pointless.
He just needs to go.

Out in #Chipstead tonight.
I’ve been campaigning for the @Conservatives since I was 15, & I enjoyed this evening just as much as my first ever session. 💙 There’s nothing quite like it!
Even better to see Lynne, James & fab MP @Rebecca_SPaul receiving so much support. 🗳️

@Arron_banks Jeeeeez. Reform sure knows how to insult the public. 🙄
If you want people and a Party that takes you, your vote and your support seriously, vote for @KemiBadenoch’s renewed @Conservatives.

@Arron_banks What a disgusting and nasty man you are , making awful comments about people that have dementia, younger people also get dementia
English
The 17% of people left voting Conservative show dementia is more wide spread than we imagined..

It’s not every day that one gets to listen to a former British Prime Minister recite from memory the opening passages of The Iliad in Ancient Greek, with no notes, in response to a random question from an undergraduate—and all while wearing what appear to be Thomas The Tank Engine socks. But today was one such day.
My thanks to my good friend Brad LaMorgese for the opportunity to see the colorful and comic Boris Johnson speak tonight at the University of Dallas.

Full Council tonight in Reigate and Banstead, but just enough time beforehand to get some steps in and some leaflets through doors for my ace @Conservatives Cllr colleague Shelly Newton! 🗳️ 💙

Today 58 out of 516 crown courts aren’t sitting (@Court_Stats ).
Surely the best way to address the crown court backlog is to increase court sitting days, not limit jury trials?!
Turns out per @Kirsty_Brimelow that 25% of defendants are brought to court over 5hrs late too!

I am urgently looking into this. Will update when I have clarity.

BREAKING NEWS: IT IS CONFIRMED THAT VIVIENNE TAYLOR IS SERVING HIS SENTENCE IN DOWNVIEW - A WOMEN'S PRISON. Officials are saying no need for ministerial sign-off as he is not in general population. WTF?? (Link in replies)

Great work by Surrey and Sussex Healthcare NHS Trust.
Thank you to the Minister, Stephen Kinnock, for attending the opening.

A new centre for diagnostic tests has opened in a Redhill shopping centre - a move the local MP has described as a "really important step forward". More here: bbc.in/4lFRHaU

That’s me at the far end on the front bench. This photo is taken at the end of the statement after many Tories had already listened and asked questions. Very disingenuous to suggest we didn’t show up. How about you post a photo from the start of the session @patrick_hurley?
Patrick Hurley@patrick_hurley
The Commons has just had a session on youth unemployment, the importance of getting young people into work, and what this government is doing to help. Take a look at how many Tories are in the Chamber to listen and learn. 😡

Strong leader.
Solid values.
Consistency.
Confidence.
No surprise the public like what they see.

In the leader approval ratings Badenoch hits her highest since becoming leader at -6. The first time she’s been ahead of all four other main party leaders. Starmer also up from his low though still far behind the pack at -41. Davey (-10) Polanski (-12), Farage (-13)

I’m at the Conservative Party Spring Conference in Harrogate.
Video attached of @KemiBadenoch arriving today at the venue.
You get the feeling that she is leading the @Conservatives on a strong road to recovery following the 2024 low point!

The medicines regulator has serious questions to answer about how on earth it signed off a clinical trial in the first place that will make healthy children infertile.
Stop the #streetingtrial.

Hi @MartinSLewis, thank you. I really appreciate that, and honestly, don’t worry. I do love a feisty debate! It helps people understand what the real issues are. You and I agree on the principle: student loans have become a scam. It took me eight years to pay mine off. I made my last payment in 2011, and I remember how happy I was, and my debt was only £14,000. I can’t imagine what it’s like to be a young person with £40,000 debt today. Whatever the Coalition government brought in back in 2012, it’s clearly not working for the world of 2026. So I’d genuinely love to come on your show and debate my plan vs yours. I’m putting student loans on the political agenda because we’ve got to do more for young people. It’s just one part of our New Deal For Young People. As the opposition, Conservatives may not be able to change the law right now, certainly not without cross-party support, but we can set the agenda especially while the government seems distracted by all sorts of other things. In the meantime, I’ll keep doing my job: setting out practical solutions and showing how we can make life in this country better, especially for young people. Looking forward to seeing you soon.

A New Deal for Young People is on the way - great news.
Fixing systemic unfairness is vital to unlock their full potential.
Kemi Badenoch@KemiBadenoch
Student loan repayments have become a scam. You work hard but you get "rewarded" with high interest rates. How is that fair? @Conservatives will reduce interest rates for hundreds of thousands of graduates. That's just Step 1 in our New Deal for Young people.

@RowennaDavis Your party racked up the £1.5bn debt in the first place.
The debilitating interest payments were caused by your Labour Party.
You don’t get to max out the credit card and then complain about the bill.
@JasonForCroydon is fixing Labour’s mess. Lots done, lots more to do.
