It was great visiting the @cheesemakers_of_canterbury in #dargate
British high streets are the backbones of towns & villages. Shops want to grow - and employ young people - but Labour’s taxes and red tape have made it impossible. @conservatives don’t see busine...
Still no sign of a serious plan to bring down the welfare bill from any other party. It’s not easy. That’s why @conservatives are doing the hard work 👇
The Prime Minister and Andy Burnham must come to a diplomatic agreement with the EU to get all systems working before they impose EU Exit System checks. There were hours of queuing on the May bank...
Catapults cause serious harm to people, animals and property - and attacks are on the rise. That’s why I am working with Maidstone Councillor, #CllrStanleyForecast to strengthen Maidstone’s existi...
Starmer’s £15bn commitment to Defence Spending has already unravelled. Will his successor do what he couldn’t? Grip welfare so that we can invest in defence. I set out in the @dailyexpress how B...
Great day at #kcs2026 - especially down at the sheep sheds brushing up my grooming skills. Work in progress. Well done to all my constituents competing, winning prizes and taking part.
Andy Burnham says more mental health support should be given IN WORK. Is he coming round to @conservatives’ position that treatment, support and work are better than a life on benefits? We’d save...
Happy 250th birthday #unitedstates and thank you @us_amb_uk for a fabulous party to celebrate
Starmer killed 300,000 jobs when he taxed businesses and made it too expensive for them to hire. Now Labour is using taxes to fund a new state-subsidised jobs scheme. The economic madness of Star...
Rachel Reeves chose to put up your taxes to pay for more benefits. If Andy Burnham is serious about reforming welfare, he’s going to need a new Chancellor.
The Prime Minister in waiting says he’ll control welfare spending – and wants more collaborative politics. So here’s 4 ways Andy Burnham could get people off benefits and into work.
Burnham must face the truth about youth unemployment. Skills matter. Education matters. Welfare matters. But without jobs to go into, they all come to nothing. Our next prime minister must get thi...
Talk about youth unemployment has moved beyond ‘laziness’ or ‘snowflakes’. There are too few jobs because Labour made hiring young people riskier & more expensive. 📢 You can’t solve youth unemplo...
Unless welfare is brought back under control it won’t be there for those who need it most. Keir had no plan to fix it. Neither does eyelashes Andy - the next leader of the Welfare Party. As Pat Mc...
This week I spoke at the @socialmobilitystories about a simple truth: You cannot solve youth unemployment without jobs. We now have one million young people not in employment, education or trainin...
A job is the difference between living off others and paying your own way - and a chance to make something of your life But no first job? Then none of that is possible. That’s what Labour is deny...
The Housing Minister has said new homes “will not be built” if the infrastructure to provide them with water is not in place. I’ll take the win that the message has got through. But I am sceptica...
300,000 jobs have been lost. 100,000 more young people are unemployed. Thousands more now stuck on benefits. This is Keir Starmer’s legacy. Whoever is Prime Minister next must do better.
Every £ spent on benefits for someone who doesn’t need support, is a pound wasted for those who truly do. More than that, it’s a moral failure to sign them off. Labour don’t have the courage to f...
