The Labour government cut Wandsworth Council’s budget by 40%.

It speaks volumes that Andy Burnham is happy to slash the funding for Conservative-run councils, but won’t touch the bloated welfare bill.

[Kevin Hollinrake MP @kevinhollinrake]

Lying by omission is still lying, Ben

You conveniently forgot to mention that Burnham, Rayner and Co. have just changed the funding formula to raid Wandsworth (and other frugally-run councils) by £84m per annum or more

We’re challenging this - you’re playing dumb games

[LGA Conservatives @LGACons]

🔵Was great to have so many Conservative Councillors in Smith Square today for the LGA Committee induction day. As @KemiBadenoch continues to renew our party, we'll continue pushing authentic Conservative principles through the LGA

[LGA Conservatives @LGACons]

🔵Yesterday LGA Conservatives visited Northumberland County Council. A well run Conservative council under the leadership of Cllr Glen Sanderson delivering fiscal responsibility and creating opportunity for residents 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

@kevinhollinrake What an incredible story and well told Kevin.

[LGA Conservatives @LGACons]

🔵Big shout out to our brilliant Party Chairman, Kevin Hollinrake MP @kevinhollinrake, for rallying the Conservative local government troops yesterday at LGA conference 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

Conservatives in local government 🤝 the Conservative Party

@Conservatives @LGACons

[Kevin Hollinrake MP @kevinhollinrake]

Actually, @Nigel_Farage

You came 3rd in Arbroath, the @Conservatives came 2nd.

And pockets of support? We won last night in Essex, Hillingdon (London), Scotland and Wales (Mumbles, Swansea). Reform lost 3 seats to us and you won 0.

And contrary to your propaganda about the North, we also gained 4 seats in Bradford and kept our 14 seats in Leeds at the locals in May.

The reality is that you also keep saying you’re going to win parliamentary by elections but keep losing them. 🤔

Great to be out today supporting @joeholmeswriter in West Clacton & St Osyth for his Essex County Council campaign.

Standing for the first time, he brings real energy, fresh ideas, and a strong commitment to the community.

He’d make an excellent County Councillor—best of luck!

[Kevin Hollinrake MP @kevinhollinrake]

Labour is now planning to tax the Great British holiday.

The proposed “Holiday Tax” would make UK breaks more expensive for families and put local jobs at risk, so I’m backing @UKHospitality’s #StopTheHolidayTax campaign.

Have your say before 18 Feb 👉 https://t.co/M5JlLIyEY5

[Seena Shah @seena_shah]

Today is Essex Budget Day and there have been some amazing announcements but the one I’m most proud of is this…

Against a backdrop of reduced central government funding.

Against a backdrop of increased Employers’ National Insurance Contributions

Against a backdrop of increased business rates

Against a backdrop of hikes up on minimum wage.

We haven’t had to raise council tax by 9% like Reform did in Worcestershire

We haven’t had to eat into our reserves unsustainably like Reform has in Kent

We aren’t taking the easy option of just taxing more like Labour do at every budget.

Council Tax will rise by just 3.95% - taking just what we need and protecting vital services.
