If you aren't working why can't you look after your own children? Why should working parents pay even higher taxes to fund free childcare for people on benefits?
Labour are not the party of work, they are the party of welfare.
The House of Lords just voted to regret Ed Miliband’s obsessive net zero policy, which has been criticised by Tony Blair, GMB and Unite the Union, because it is leading to higher energy costs and lower economic growth.
Tonight’s vote sends a clear message that the next Prime Minister must urgently reassess our approach to energy policy, focusing on lower bills, higher growth and licensing of oil and gas exploration in the North Sea.
“Whilst not re-elected this time, it’s been an absolute privilege serving as a Senedd Member. Wefought extremely hard, yet democracy means that this isn’t always within our power. To my supporters, I’m eternally grateful. As a centuries-old political party, we will bounce back!”
🏠 There’s nothing quite like that moment you’re handed the keys to your first home. That mix of excitement, pride, and a fresh start. It’s something everyone should have the chance to experience.
😔 But for too many people today, whether buying their first place or looking to downsize, that moment feels further and further out of reach. The cost of moving is simply too high.
That’s why a @WelshConserv government would step in to help.
✂️ By scrapping stamp duty on your main home, we can make it easier for more people to take that first step onto the housing ladder.
Alongside that, we would focus on building the right homes in the right places, while bringing empty properties back into use, helping more people find a place they can truly call their own.
🔑 Because everyone deserves that feeling. Keys in hand, standing on the doorstep of a home that’s yours.
Today the Conservatives successfully amended the Crime and Policing Bill to take tougher action on fly tipping.
The Government voted against our Conservative amendment.
Watch @Byron_Davies make the case for more police powers to tackle fly tipping.
Keir Starmer has confirmed he knew about Mandelson’s continued relationship with the paedophile Epstein when he appointed him Ambassador.
His catastrophic judgement has harmed the special relationship, endangered national security, and embarrassed our nation.
No more cover up.
One of the shadiest scandals in British political history. And Labour ministers’ fingerprints are all over it.
It’s time to release the Mandelson files.
@HLConservatives have won their vote to ban the use or possession of smartphones in schools.
The evidence is clear: the Government's guidance has not worked. This Conservative amendment is now crucial for the wellbeing, behaviour and attainment of children at school.
Despite the policy having the support of parents, teachers and health experts, Labour voted against the amendment.
Last night Conservatives defeated the government on the Chagos Surrender Bill.
In response, Keir Starmer has been forced to delay the bill.
We're fighting the surrender every step of the way.

Britain's welfare bill is going up and up, and Labour are raising your taxes to pay for it.
@KemiBadenoch is the only Party leader with the backbone to get welfare under control and cut tax.
The two-child benefit cap needs to stay.
I’m not allowed to say it in Parliament, but I can here: today the Prime Minister lied and lied and lied again. And he did so to smear a man defending our veterans in court against the Labour government.
Labour have attacked everyone from farmers, to businesses, to veterans, so now they attack David Wolfson, a brilliant KC, to take the attention away from their terrible decisions.
I’m proud to have David in my team. He doesn’t deserve to have his name smeared by low-rent politicians trying to distract from their own failures.
What little integrity the Prime Minister held he surrendered with that shameful performance today.
This afternoon, the Conservatives voted to prevent sex offenders and domestic abusers from receiving automatic suspended sentences, protecting women and girls.
The Liberal Democrats joined with the Government to defeat the Conservative amendment.
Can’t believe you trotted this out on the very day the latest figures showed growth had collapsed under your watch. You were warned this ‘fastest growing in the G7’ blarney would come to haunt you. Now it has.
British growth in 2025:
Q1: 0.7% (largely because of your first Budget’s pump-priming and increased output ahead of Trump tariffs — was never going to last).
Q2: 0.3%
Q3: 0.1%
Sept — minus 0.1%.
GDP/Capita 0.0%
