The late Queen issued a single Easter message in the 70 years of her reign, a one-off during the pandemic. There is no break with tradition, and this is the purest example of clickbait.

In response to Simon Dudley's (@reformparty_uk) recent comments on Grenfell:

A Reform government would be an economic catastrophe. Just look at the manifesto they've launched in Scotland. It's not just fantasy economics - they can't even do the basic maths. They've promised huge tax cuts and seem to think they would just pay for themselves...🧵(1/7)

📣 Today, I am launching Our Plan for Westminster 📣  ✅ To the people of Westminster: we have listened.   🤝 Thousands of doorstep conversations and our Listening to Westminster campaign have shaped every page of this plan. Your priorities are our priorities.  💥 Safe Streets: A dedicated Cabinet Member for Enforcement from day one. Targeting phone theft, cracking down on anti-social behaviour, ending the dockless bike chaos and using every council power to make Westminster safe again.   🧹 A Clean City: Zero tolerance on graffiti. Reliable waste collections. Binding standards for dockless bike operators. Restoring the benchmark Westminster set under Conservative leadership.   💷 Value for Money: Reviewing every major contract. Cutting unjustifiable spending. Fighting the Family Home Tax. Keeping council tax as low as possible.   🚌 Transport for All: Fighting for an accessible Oxford Street informed by local people, protect bus routes and expand EV charging.   🤝 Caring for the Vulnerable: Protecting our Outstanding rated children's services. Tackling record rough sleeping with compassion and grip.   🥀 Westminster has had enough of Same Old Labour's slogans and excuses.   📊 On 7 May, the choice is clear: four more years of Labour, or a Conservative council that puts local people first.   🔷 Only the Conservatives can beat Labour in Westminster. Vote Conservative on 7th of May.  👉 Read Our Plan for Westminster here: westm.news/ourplan

President of the British Chamber of Commerce and former Chief Economist at the Bank of England, Andy Haldane, has told ITV News' @ITVJoel that the pick-up in inflation will be 'manageable'. He said the energy price shock 'calls for lower interest rates, not higher ones'.

Great job from our friends in Sevenoaks! 💪

Today in Kent: Reform UK councillors voted themselves an above inflation and above recommendation pay rise 💴 Overruled their own legal officer 📜 Silenced opposition voices 🔇 Ignored Electoral Commission guidance ⚖️ And rammed through a political stunt during purdah 🚫🗳️ If you have to gag democracy to win an argument, you’ve already lost it.

My colleagues on Kent County Council have mine and @MedwayTories full support. Important leadership shown on a x-party basis by all opposition groups today.

Busy day in London today. First for the @Conservatives Local Election launch, where it was great to see the need to regenerate and make our local High Streets safer, feature. Followed by an LGA meeting discussing plastic recycling and community energy.

🆕 It's been confirmed that some of the meningitis cases linked to Club Chemistry in Canterbury, Kent are MenB.

I’m Keir Starmer’s biggest critic, but the war of words coming from the White House is childish.

Our Sovereign and the Commonwealth remain an enduring part of our national story — pillars of continuity in a changing world. An honour to meet with His Majesty King Charles III today in London.

VIDEO: Canada PM Mark Carney reassures King Charles, they are still in the Commonwealth 🇨🇦 He had joked that at a Nordic Alliance in Norway at the weekend, Canada was “an honorary Nordic” nation. 🇺🇸 Perhaps they went on to chat about King of Canada’s USA trip to see Trump? 👑 Perhaps they chatted about Carney offering to help remove King’s brother Andrew from the line of Succession?
