Former Conservative MP for Don Valley. 2025 Mayoral candidate for Doncaster.
A new low for our Mayor. @MayorRos knows full well the Reform motion was about stopping political flags. To twist it into something else is, frankly, pathetic. We all support our Lionesses. We should all love our country. Pretending a political party doesn’t, just to gain…
St. George's flag raised in Sir Nigel Gresley Square to support our @Lionesses Doncaster @reformparty_uk cllrs wanted to ban the flag of St. George flying on council land & buildings, BUT I SAID NO! I am proud of our COUNTRY, come on @England! Bring it home! #EURO2025
From Pride to the Sidelines Great to see the empty gesture politics of taking the knee is stopping but it needs to continue with the rainbow armband. Female footballers supporting LGBTQIA+ is a real-world example of turkeys voting for Christmas. If we follow this movement…
You cannot make it up 🙈 Let me get this straight. A BBC presenter wants school kids to wear badges saying “You’re Safe With Me” and be ready to escort trans women (that’s biological men) to the toilets. Keep waving the Pride flags and you’ll keep getting more of this dangerous…
When we educate and then celebrate something that has proven so damaging to children, it has real-world consequences. Neil O’Brien wrote ‘In 2009, the NHS Gender Identity Development Service (GIDS) saw fewer than 50 children a year. By 2021–22, that number had exploded to over…
Some really bad stuff is happening in sex education in schools. My new piece looks at why the government's new guidance won't fix it. 🧵 First, they have abandoned our proposed age limit on what can be taught to really young children:
In the mother of all parliaments, Danny Kruger stood and spoke of the vital role Christianity plays in our heritage, our culture, and the urgent need for a Christian restoration. Sadly, the empty chamber speaks volumes about the state of our nation. But as long as there are MPs…
I gave a speech today in an empty chamber. It’s about the need for a Christian restoration.
I won’t be attending the Pride event in @Bawtry this weekend, and here’s why. Pride has now arrived in our quiet market town. But in over 20 years of living here, raising a family, supporting local businesses, being part of the community, and having the honour of being your MP…
When @RachelReevesMP aka Rachel from Accounts, comes for your pension, rest assured: your Labour PM’s @Keir_Starmer pension is safe and sound. It’s just you and me left footing the bill for her incompetence.
Keir Starmer won’t rule out raiding people’s pensions to fill his government’s black hole. Meanwhile, his own public sector pension is legally protected. Once again, it’s hardworking families doing the right thing who’ll pay for his economic mistakes.
British Culture #4 🎭✨ Lights, camera, action! ✨🎭 Continuing my journey celebrating our British culture. Last night, I went to the theatre. Did you know that the UK is home to over 1,200 theatres? From West End spectacles to charming local plays, theatre is woven into the…
There you have it, three simple questions: 1.How much is Net Zero costing? 2.Who’s paying for it? 3.What will it actually achieve? After 15 years pushing this agenda, Doncaster North’s MP our very own @Ed_Miliband still can’t answer. So I’ll do it for him: –…
What a disgrace. Ed Miliband came to the House to do a Statement about how vital it was to get to net zero- but when I asked him 3 simple questions, the cost, who’s paying for it & if the UK got to net zero how much it would reduce global temperatures, he couldn’t answer.
Women’s sports ‘must ban trans players or face legal action’ telegraph.co.uk/gift/347081058…
Ed Miliband is changing the rules to throw even more money at renewable developers and you’ll be footing the bill. A new law being debated today will let him lock in higher prices for offshore wind. Subsidies, grid costs & your bills will soar. This isn’t green it’s a gold…
1⃣Ed Miliband is altering the rules of CfD auctions so that he can throw money at the developers. The Statutory Instrument to enable him to do this is being debated tomorrow. The Impact Assessment alongside it is sickening. (THREAD)
British Culture #3 I recently heard Douglas Murray say: “Our assumption is that what we love, by our loving it, makes it indestructible. And when it’s destroyed…” That’s exactly why I’m championing our British culture. Churches, pubs, sports, the arts, and so much more. We…
And for the record yes, I did say: “If the Labour frontbench were Scrabble pieces, you’d throw them all back and hope to goodness you didn’t pick any of them back out.” I said it because it’s true. Weak leadership, recycled slogans, and not a backbone between them. Doncaster…
Ex-Tory MP Nick Fletcher, reportedly approached by Reform, is happy with the Conservative Party, saying Kemi Badenoch is speaking sense. "Disappointed with Reform... we agreed with a lot of their policies, yet they stood against us and left people like Ed Miliband to win seats."
The Mayor’s Corn Exchange Fiasco £5 million spent. Traders misled. Now 32 weeks of disruption. Doncaster Council has just refurbished the Corn Exchange and now they’re starting another major project right outside it. Traders who were told footfall would be high are struggling.…
Good thread from Danny well worth a read. Totally agree with this: “The government must also stop paying benefits to migrants who have not contributed to the social security system.”
There is a hole in our politics where welfare reform should be. The Govt's UC & PIP Bill now simply spends more rather than saves money. A series of amendments have been tabled by the Lib Dems, Greens, and left-wing Labour MPs to increase benefits further - indiscriminately,…
I’ve said it before: what Britain’s now suffering, Doncaster’s endured for years. Four more years of this? There’ll be nothing left.
Congratulations Prime Minister @Keir_Starmer on your first year in office. Let’s look at some of Labour’s top achievements… - Froze vulnerable pensioners. - Let welfare spending spiral out of control. - Turned their backs on grooming gang victims, then u-turned when exposed. -…
🇬🇧 British Culture #2: Armed Forces Day What’s more British than our Armed Forces? Fantastic to see them out marching today, the Union Flags flying high, and so many people coming together to show support. We should always back those who protect us — and those who have. From…
Fab article from @miriam_cates here on the responsibility for protecting vulnerable children and the vital role dads play. Well worth a read.
“We are hopelessly naïve if we think that better education or improved safeguarding procedures will increase the number of people who are willing to risk blowing the whistle on child exploitation. Instead, we must change the balance of incentives, so that those with…
Parents; please watch this. Then ask yourself: who’s really raising your child? Then say “I am” — and do this: ✅ Support the school phone ban ✅ Limit your child’s screen time ✅ Limit your own screen time ✅ No phones in bed, ever Every evil in the world is on that phone.…
It's time to get phones out of the classroom. Our new film looks at the harm a smartphone-based childhood is doing to our kids.
