With Starmer and Reeves presiding over a high tax, low growth economy and collapsing consumer confidence, our high streets are paying the price.

We can fix it but this socialist government won’t.

[Robert Jenrick @RobertJenrick]

Tony Blair handed power to lawyers and quangocrats - with disastrous consequences.

To fix Britain, it’s time to trust the people again. It’s time for a great restoration of parliamentary sovereignty.

Reeves disastrous Budget was one of the largest assaults on working people in British history.

She lied about her budget leaks and refuses to take any responsibility for Labour’s tax grabbing and job destroying policies.  https://t.co/cNn42GsuBY

[Andrew Griffith MP @griffitha]

The Lib Dems just voted to screw every British business for a couple of extra peerages.

They wanted unlimited tribunal payouts on top of the huge damage from Labour's 330 page (Un)Employment.

Thankfully, Conservatives opposed them and won, but business won't forget.

This morning I will send an unoquivical message to young people - the @conservatives are on your side.

In my conference speech, I will announce that a future Conservative government will introduce the First Job Bonus - a £5,000 tax cut for every young person starting work, to help them save for a home or their future.

Because Conservatives believe work should be rewarded - not taxed.

Aspiration. Opportunity. Hope.

🚨BREAKING: Conservatives reveal evidence that shows Starmer's chief of staff Morgan McSweeney tried to cover up Labour Together's slush fund.

McSweeney was warned TWICE by the electoral watchdog that he must declare donations.

Stop the cover-up. We need a full investigation.

Heartbreaking.

[Priti Patel MP @pritipatel]

Labour continue to bankrupt Britain…

[Mel Stride @MelJStride]

Why is everything getting more expensive?

The cost of living is rising twice as fast as when Labour took over. Figures this week showed inflation is running at almost 4% - well above the 2% target.

That can be directly linked to the choices Rachel Reeves has made👇(1/8)🧵

[Conservatives @Conservatives]

Despite raising your taxes last Autumn, Rachel Reeves has borrowed over £11 billion more than she said she would.

Rachel Reeves is too weak to manage the economy. Keir Starmer is too weak to manage the country.

[Susan Hall AM @Councillorsuzie]

1072 people came into our country in one day! This cannot go on. They must be detained and deported. Please sign the petition if you agree

[Conservatives @Conservatives]

Over a year since the election, and Rachel Reeves' only 'achievement' is doubling inflation.

Now she's plotting to tax your future to fund her failure.

Congratulations to the people of Epping!

They protested. They were smeared. But they have won.

The solution, however, cannot be to move the illegal migrants and force them on another community.

This has gone on far too long. The country is well past breaking point. The last Government didn’t listen and failed. Starmer’s making it even worse.

Change the laws. Get third country deals. Deport everyone who’s come here illegally. End this.

[Robert Jenrick @RobertJenrick]

I see Reform's former Chairman, Zia Yusuf, has unfortunately pushed another two lies about me. One of which he's already had to delete.

The first is a video from 1st November 2022. The interview that Zia selectively clipped was about the Manston holding centre, where illegal migrants are processed when they first arrive. I was 8 days into the job of Migration Minister.

Manston's capacity was 1,600, but it then had 4,000 people there. There had just been a fire bombing of the processing centre which had thrown the system into chaos. Order was collapsing.

I was reassuring people this wasn't going to happen. That the state had somewhere - regrettably hotels - for these migrants to go temporarily.

The idea I was 'bragging' about opening hotels, or that I thought they were a good thing, is clearly absurd. A complete lie. On the 27th October 2022, two days into the job, I said in Parliament: "It is disgraceful that this country is spending hundreds of millions of pounds on accommodating people in hotels." On 7th November 2022, I said: "It is essential that we exit the hotels altogether."

The whole Manston episode sickened me.

The second lie, now deleted, was doctored footage. Zia said it showed me "proudly" announcing more migrant hotels. It doesn't. In the full clip, I'm clearly talking about putting illegal migrants on disused military sites. A policy Nigel Farage backed a few weeks ago.

What's the truth? Before I was Immigration Minister, I was against mass and illegal migration, but I’ll freely admit I didn’t realise just how broken our border and migration system was.

From the moment I became Immigration Minister, the gravity of this crisis hit me. Terrorists coming here on small boats. Billions being wasted. Horrific illegal migrant crime. Hotels blighting towns. Unlike others, I visited the communities affected and saw the harm up close.

I could see the breakdown of the British state was doing immense damage. It angered me and it motivated me to do absolutely everything to fix the problem.

@SuellaBraverman and I spent that year fighting tooth and nail for the changes we needed on both legal and illegal migration. We set in train the closing of 100 hotels, made possible by the fact small boats fell by over a third - the only time they’ve fallen, before or since. But we knew that wasn't even close to enough. We needed a fundamental change in policy and law. When it became clear such changes weren't going to happen, I resigned and campaigned for them from the backbenches. I tabled the amendments to the Rwanda Bill to make it effective, which the Government rejected. Ultimately, I rebelled and voted against a Bill that I knew wouldn't work. Only 10 other MPs out of 650 joined me.

And from that day until today, I have kept fighting for what's needed. The immediate detention and deportation of all those coming illegally. The removal of all those here illegally. And of all foreign criminals. A proper halt to mass migration through a legally binding cap. Including no visa renewal for those here but not contributing.

The truth is: the country's in a mess. It's far from the border that's broken. We need real change across the board, and we need it now.

False and petty attacks do not meet the moment.

[Conservatives @Conservatives]

The only thing Labour knows how to grow? Debt.

Rachel Reeves has pushed government borrowing up to near-record levels.

And who's going to be paying the bill? You are.

[Conservatives @Conservatives]

It's time to back the makers, not the takers.

Reposting this as it seems rather apt this week. Operation Radish is in trouble.

[Robert Jenrick @RobertJenrick]

Londoners are paying an estimated £216 extra a month in rent because of immigration levels since 2001.

Across England that figure is approximately £132.

Mass migration is making young people poorer.
