@Jackie_ChALC Appreciate that Town and Parish Councils meet in the evenings, but I think we need to do the same for District and County levels. Proper allowances will also help to rebalance the make up of local government, and encourage others to consider standing.
It’s not every working class lad from Swindon who gets to go from a comprehensive to Oxford, let alone run for Leader of the @Conservatives and Prime Minister. I want to give everyone the opportunity to succeed, regardless of background. For me, this is personal. #Trustedtolead
I’m the only candidate in this leadership election to have won my seat off Labour, so I know how to beat them. That’s why I’m #Trustedtolead the @Conservatives to victory at the next election. Watch my new video 👇👇

The @Conservatives in Government have a record to be proud of. That's why, over the coming days, I will be posting some reasons why I am #ProudtobeConservative
Mark has a very clear Brexit strategy and has a proven track record of taking people with him. He is honest and has bags of integrity. He has my support. @Mark_J_Harper@Conservatives
The current top team have let us down. I've got a plan to deliver Brexit and I look forward to setting it out to my @Conservatives colleagues at the hustings next week #Trustedtolead 👇
Tory leadership hopeful Mark Harper: "If you're the chief whip, people only find out who you are if it's not going well. So if you don't know who I am, that's because I did a good job as chief whip."

Why am I a Tory when I'm openly gay?
1. Equal marriage introduced by Cameron
2. Ruth Davidson, my leader, champion of LGBT rights issues in Scotland
3. Tory gov't policies tackling anti-lgbt bullying in schools
4. I didn't leave the closet to be told what to think by a socialist https://t.co/9gtalj7PNf
