@LoftusSteve@SteveBakerFRSA It is insane when the obvious alternative is mandating suppliers to enter into longer term contracts for their gas to smooth price spikes
@rcolvile makes an excellent point about revitalising the party by using candidates more effectively. As a previous candidate with a demanding day job and a young family it is incredibly challenging to contribute in the only way the party seems to recognise - door knocking during core working hours.
It is also why you end up with unsuitable MPs. The people you want as MPs, those with skills, experience and families, don’t have ten years of free time to spend delivering leaflets.

Isn’t this the kind of letter you should write before you pick an unachievable target date of 2030 for a decarbonised grid? @Ed_Miliband

Let’s have a fact check on the economic falsehoods Labour is deploying.
2010 vs 2024.
2010 - Deficit 7%
2024 - Deficit 1.9%
2010 - Deep recession
2024 - Fastest growth in G7 predicted
2010 - Unemployment 7%
2024 - Unemployment 4%
2010 - 10.3% Public Sector Net Borrowing
2024 - 3.1% Public Sector Net Borrowing
This is despite the impact of the pandemic, and despite the renewed illegal invasion of Ukraine
Call it whatever you like but it still amounts to borrowing money to invest in pet government projects. Even worse the money will be channelled through two institutions which have to date failed to “get the economy growing”; the UKIB and British Business Bank
🚨BREAKING: We are creating a new National Wealth Fund
This Fund will help get the economy growing by:
📈Unlocking investment

An enormous thank you to everyone in Wythenshawe and Sale East who put their faith in me yesterday. It was a huge privilege to be your Conservative candidate. Thank you too to all the volunteers for their dedication.
When you do something you love it never feels like hard work, even if the result isn’t what we hoped for. It was an honour to give it my best shot.
Make your vote count today.
Vote Sarah Beament in Wythenshawe and Sale East where residents have been let down by a Labour Major, a Labour MP and a Labour Council for too long.
🔵 Make the streets safe again
🔵 Protect our hospital & airport
🔵 Hold Labour to account
My toughest interview yet! Talking about what the Conservatives are offering on childcare because it is critical we give parents the support they need if they go back to work
Good to see flights are resuming after the disruptions at Manchester airport yesterday. Manchester airport is a crucial transport hub for the north west and a large employer in Wythenshawe. I welcome the investigation Manchester Airport Group are undertaking to make sure such disruption isn’t repeated
There is no justification for the invasion of Ukraine. Putin is a tyrant who invaded because he could. Any attempt to suggest otherwise fails to recognise the reality of the increasingly dangerous world we live in.
Only the Conservatives can be trusted with defence.
💯 Much art exists outside politics and it needs to be protected from those who wish to politicise it at every turn. Many people want places free of politics, if it’s art, sport or religion.
