Good to hear @kevinhollinrake at @consyimby @ukonward event unashamedly pro housing and a YIMBY 🧢. Quite right that abolishing mandatory housing targets and a five year land supply were mistakes. That will never happen again with a pro YIMBY LOTO team under @KemiBadenoch 👏

Labour promised 1.5 million new homes. The truth? They’re miles off. The OBR says Labour will fail, like they always do. The last Conservative government delivered 2.5 million. And we’ll keep going. Homes where they’re needed, countryside protected, British families first.

Good to have our friends from Menaggio & Cadenabbia Golf Club back with us at @StGeorgesHillGC. Getting recommendations for restaurants in Siena for my eldest son’s wedding in Tuscany 🇮🇹 🏴

More Homes + Tougher Borders = British Homes for British People The @consyimby x @Katie_Lam_MP Formula #BuildBabyBuild
Our country’s economic and social malaise are two sides of the same coin. We need to live within our means, not take on more liabilities. This will need the will, strength and ✨imagination✨ for radical change that only the Conservative Party can deliver.
Owning a good home shouldn’t feel out of reach. But for too many young people - it does. @Conservatives will build more, build better, and protect the green spaces families love. I’m glad to have @JamesCleverly as my Shadow Housing Secretary to help get Britain building again.
Great to see @ConsYIMBY featured in a double page splash in today's Times! Plus a really fantastic video from @KemiBadenoch and @JamesCleverly this morning - capturing the right tone AND the right substance on building homes. Our #BuildBabyBuild🧢 hats are iconic now👇
Don’t let Starmer gaslight you. Labour have lost control , of everything, and you are paying the price. @Conservatives we help people get the homes they want in the places they need.
This is brilliant. YIMBYs - note two key shifts in language: 1. No longer about protecting the "Green Belt" - now "Green Fields" 2. It's now about not concreting over *every* green field as opposed to *any* green field. Both suggest the insane Brownfield First policy is dead!
Conservatives will build the homes families need, but we won’t concrete over every green field to do it.
1/15 Interesting article. I won’t go into the internal politics, but Megan concludes by considering what Labour YIMBYism should look like. The test of her proposals isn't if it keeps the PLP happy, but if it addresses the housing crisis. Let's discuss 🧵
As a recess treat, I wrote about the week where the Labour Party lost two Chrises, and what it means for the ongoing discourse on growth, planning and Labour YIMBYism. renewal.org.uk/blog/the-chris…
Absolutely right from @KemiBadenoch. The state is too large; unaccountable quangos yield too much power; we spend too much, energy costs are too high; we overregulate and the tax take is excessive. Support business, shrink the state, #BuildBabyBuild 🧢 and go for growth 👇

Conservatives will build the homes families need, but we won’t concrete over every green field to do it.
The @LibDems don’t know how to control @rbwm finances. They will just tax you and waste your money 👇
RBWM faces a £35m black hole under Lib Dem control. £103m bailout already taken — and more borrowing + council tax hikes likely. Cllr Sharpe warns: “Council tax may need to rise by nearly 10% a year until the mid-2030s.” Time for serious leadership. #RBWM #CouncilTax #Tories
Labour are crushing our economy. They are drowning us in debt and taxes 👇
First thoughts on becoming @Conservatives Party Chairman 👇
Strategising the #buildbabybuild revolution this morning with @KemiBadenoch Enjoy the @consyimby 🧢
Well done to @CJAWorrall. Chris knows only the centre-right will bring the fundamental change our great country needs. A good friend - I look forward to making the journey with him 👇
From @CJAWorrall I didn’t leave the Labour Party because it changed. I left because it refused to conservativehome.com/2025/07/23/chr…
