We cannot leave a wounded regime in Tehran. The regime will rebuild, and now it knows what happens to global markets when the Strait of Hormuz is closed. It's not a question of 'if,' but 'when' we will be right back in the same position if the regime is not thoroughly eliminated. youtu.be/HYoqUMZrdWg?si…

CONFIRMED: New figures show Conservative-run authorities deliver lower council tax rises than any other Party. Vote Conservative on 7 May!

Reform have been caught lying about council tax…again. This is the truth behind their shocking running of Durham County Council.

Even Angela Rayner agrees with us.

Benefits payments have surged under Labour. Yet, in-person assessments have collapsed, and with it, the ability to determine if someone is lying. So we sent investigators undercover to PIP centres in London to find out just how busy they actually were. The results? Shocking.

.@andy4wm and @AmberRuddUK met hospitality businesses in Birmingham to hear what would help them grow. The message was clear: VAT, business rates and rising employment taxes are squeezing the sector, with little support from Government. Better policy starts by listening.

Why does the economy feel so difficult for people in the prime of their working lives? For many families, the answer increasingly comes down to housing. If the next generation cannot get onto the housing ladder, something isn’t working. We’ll have more to say on this very soon.

This is blatant. Reform leaflets, with Farage plastered all over them, were explicit. “Reduce waste and cut your taxes” When caught red handed he says “Cutting taxes can be not putting them up as much” He’s treating voters as fools.

Impressive speed with which “free Palestine” protesters have switched to “don’t free Iran”.

Putin is helping Iran. Zelenskyy is helping us. Trump does not seem to understand or is ignoring these basic facts. Hope someone on his team will help the president correct this policy position and... Thank Zelenskyy. Arm Ukraine. Sanction Putin.

.@KemiBadenoch will always put Britain’s national security first. That’s why we will prioritise defence over welfare, and use savings from bringing back the two child cap to boost our armed forces with 20,000 new troops.

Rachel Reeves was warned before the Budget that her tax raid on the betting industry would backfire - but she pressed ahead anyway. She just doesn’t understand that punitive tax rises end up being self-defeating. You can’t tax your way to prosperity. express.co.uk/news/politics/…

A beautiful spring afternoon in North Tyneside campaigning with @ollyscargill thanks to everyone who spoke with us! @ConservativesNT @Conservatives

Russia is helping Iran target U.S. troops. That tells you everything about trusting Putin. Don’t listen to his words—watch his actions. They always point in the same direction: attacking and weakening the West.

In 2024 the Conservatives lost votes to parties on both their left and their right. And now millions of centre and centre-right voters say no party represents them. That tells you something important: there is real demand for sensible, pro-growth politics.

We lost voters in places that value stability and hard work. They haven’t gone away. They’re undecided. In Wales, we heard the same message: people want credible economic leadership, not louder arguments. Prosper UK is listening - and turning that into serious, pro-enterprise policy.

What planet does Rachel Reeves think she’s on?

Prosper UK is taking the conversation across the country. After our first visit to Cardiff, we’re heading to Birmingham on 16 March. We’ll meet businesses and hold an open town hall for supporters - because serious politics starts with listening.

Labour minister accidentally admits that higher interest on student loans is being used to pay for more benefits. That’s outrageous. Labour are not on the side of young people.
