Darlington born, Darlington supporter, living in Pinner,
I live in the Red Wall - and Farage has just made a huge political misstep. Scrapping the two-child benefit cap will alienate the voters he needs most. Latest from me for @Daily_Express 👇👇👇 express.co.uk/news/politics/…
Labour are as woeful at running local government as they are the country. Reform claim they'll "fix" your council, but haven't the slightest idea how to do it. Only the Conservatives can deliver better services and lower taxes. On Thursday #VoteConservative
These local elections aren't an opinion poll. You will decide who controls your local services - who picks up your bins, fixes your roads and sets your council tax. On 1st May, Vote Conservative for lower tax and better services. 👇
He’s literally just admitted on TV that they were NOT bussed in having stoked it all by saying they were. Farage is beyond help.
The Reform leadership tried to put me in prison on false allegations, all because I bruised your ego. Wasting an incredible amount of police/CPS time, even leading to my family home being raided by armed police late on a Friday night. You’re a stinking hypocrite, Farage.
Last night, the Lib Dems betrayed farmers. They voted against our amendment to exempt farms from 300 pages of employment red-tape. Because of their vote we narrowly lost — now hard-working farmers will suffer for it. The Lib Dems are not on the side of British farmers.
So, all started with the Tories but expanded by Labour, they thought they could get away with us never finding out. This is disgraceful at a time people are struggling to pay the bills and being prepared for more tax rises. It’s becoming very clear that this Government does…
The tories got a 4 month superinjuction while they arranged an airlift, it was Labour that expanded the scheme. They blew a £7 billion secret hole in the budget and then spent the next few months gouging the public to pay for it & gagging journalists or MPs from talking about it
Kemi Badenoch is bang on. 🔥 “Unemployment has risen every month since Labour came into office” “Thank god it was Conservatives who were there under Covid, Labour would have bankrupted the country”
This is Shaun Davies, Labour MP for Telford. Today, he stood up in Parliament today and blamed Rishi Sunak and Amber Rudd for “blocking an inquiry into grooming gangs in Telford”. In reality? 𝗛𝗲 𝘄𝗮𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗺. As Leader of Telford & Wrekin Council, Shaun…
As Rachel Reeves tries to con us all with her Defence GDP definition it is worth reading NATO’s guidelines on what can count. If you claim other forces/police or intelligence you can only do so IF 1/3
I have a huge amount of respect for the work that the councils are doing to save tax payer money, and reduce wastage. @ZiaYusufUK got me in and I believe it is appropriate for me to leave with him. I have absolute confidence that the reform DOGE will succeed without me.
BREAKING: On a night of chaos in Reform, their North Northumberland branch has just been suspended. What’s next?!?!
Thames Water have rightly been fined £123m. The Conservative Environment Act made this possible. Under the @Conservatives, the money was going to the Water Restoration Fund, heading back to fixing water quality. Under Labour, it’s going to the Chancellor’s self-made black hole.
Fearless British politician Kemi Badenoch, tells Hamas supporters to shove it as she destroys the false narrative about the war in the Middle East. She refuses to legitimize Jihad against Jews in order to win the Muslim voter base.
🪵Labour’s Winter Fuel Payment u-turn isnt because they’ve found compassion, or seen the impact of the cut on vulnerable pensioners. 🕯️It was because they had a kicking at the local elections & are now running scared. ⏱️A reversal is welcome,but it shouldn’t have taken so long.
The PM needs to stop whining and own up to his own failures. Inflation is up. Bills rising. Unemployment increasing. Pensioners are punished. And Labour MPs laugh AGAIN. U-turning on his cruel winter fuel cuts is too little, too late. This Labour government is shafting the…
Betrayal, abandonment, sellout or sinking. 🐟Whatever word you use, Labour’s deal is a disaster for UK fishing.
Our despicable Labour government is attempting the mother of all cover-ups over the Pakistani rape gang scandal. Only the Conservatives are pushing for a full inquiry to expose those who looked the other way whilst young girls were raped and abused.
We need a national inquiry into the cover-up of the rape gang scandal Councils, police and other authorities covered up these sickening crimes because the perpetrators were mainly of Pakistani origin My short film for Channel 4 on this was broadcast last night:
Nigel Farage wants to run the country, but he can't even control his 4 MPs.
