This had me howling earlier 😂 Love The Daily T podcast!

Oh Dear.

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.

@Winstamike is the best man for the job.

Old Westminster joke: “A Blairite, Brownite, Corbynite and Starmerite walk into a Manchester bar and the barman says: ‘What can I get you, Andy?’” Burnham’s ideology blows with the political wind.

God Save The King.

You can keep Andy Burnham, Wes Streeting or Ed Miliband… personally I’ll stick with my favourite future PM! Absolutely excellent @KemiBadenoch !

The Prime Minister is acting like he's going to be there for the next two years. He’ll be lucky if he lasts two weeks.

Am I the only person utterly depressed that every proposed replacement for the embattled and increasingly useless PM somehow manages to look even worse?

Kemi Badenoch delivered a powerful speech at today’s rally against antisemitism, making clear that antisemitism is not only hatred of Jews, but an attack on Britain itself. Serious, morally clear, and deeply resonant words.

Seriously, incredibly disturbing.

Love this!

Vote for a Party that isn’t afraid to stand up for Britain’s Jews. Vote Conservative 🗳️

Polls are now open for the local elections! Vote Conservative to Get Britain Working Again 🇬🇧

You may not agree with me, but you will always know where you stand with me. Today in Billericay, a heckler tried to shout me down as I spoke about the normalisation of hatred towards Jews. I did not back down, because it needs to be said. British Jews are being targeted and too many people are pretending this is the same experience of other minorities. This lady implied Muslims are being similarly targeted. This is simply not true. Let's be honest about what is happening. Certain groups (in particular but not solely Islamic Extremists) are creating a climate of fear and intimidation that is normalising Jew hatred. I will never stand for that. Governments have spent too long hand-wringing, making excuses and hoping it would go away. It is time to call this what it is: a national emergency in our attitude, our urgency and our response. I will always engage with people who disagree with me. That is politics. But there is a difference between argument and intimidation. Shouting does not make a bad case good. It's done to silence others. And it certainly does not change the truth. The truth is that British Jews have been made to feel less safe in their own country. Our country. They are being singled out, threatened and harassed in ways that should shame everyone in public life. If we do not stand up now and stop this rise in antisemitism, then why bother saying "Never Again" at Holocaust Memorial Day? Because this is how it starts. I am not prepared to play along with the pretence that this is normal, or manageable, or just another example of tension between groups. It really is not. It is targeted hatred and it is getting worse. So my message is simple. Not here. Not in Britain. And not on our watch. We need to stop the hand-wringing and start doing the right thing. That means standing with British Jews openly, unapologetically and without fear.

The latest vile antisemitic terrorist attack in London shows that this is now a national emergency. The Conservative Party I lead will not stop until antisemitism is rooted out of British society.
