[Mario Creatura @MarioCreatura]

When the local election results are counted and announced later today, I will cease to be a councillor after 12 years.

It’s been a blast. Thank you to everyone who has supported me over the years, I will always be grateful.

Let’s see what comes next…

[James Cleverly🇬🇧 @JamesCleverly]

Remember, Labour said the introduction of VAT of school fees was to pay for extra teachers.

There are FEWER teachers under Labour.

As I wrote today, Kemi Badenoch is the one senior politician to show real leadership over this tragedy.

[Mario Creatura @MarioCreatura]

It’s clearly indefensible.

We know it. Robert knows it.

Kemi has been acting and speaking like the responsible leader this country needs.

[Peston @itvpeston]

.@Peston: That is a travesty of Kemi Badenoch’s position!

@RobertJenrick: No it isn’t.

Reform UK’s Robert Jenrick is shown @KemiBadenoch’s GMB interview and denies ‘manipulating’ a tragedy to score ‘petty political points’

BREAKING: The Labour Party.

[Kemi Badenoch @KemiBadenoch]

It doesn’t matter who replaces the Prime Minister.

Labour MPs will keep asking for more tax to pay for more benefits.

[Luke Tryl @LukeTryl]

Badenoch moves to her highest approval of her time as LOTO on -4 with the biggest gap between her and other leaders. Davey is at -12, Farage -13, Polanski -25 and Keir Starmer is up this week though still far at the bottom of the pack on -44.

“The cost burden on retail is higher than it’s ever been before, and it’s the everyday public who suffer as mounting government policy drives up prices.”

It’s in their DNA - they are the ‘Welfare Party’.

[Conservatives @Conservatives]

Labour's Welfare Secretary admitted to Peter Mandelson what he won’t tell you.

Labour raised your taxes to pay for more benefits.

[Andrew Griffith MP @griffitha]

It’s not hard to put together a plan for growth and to make Britain prosperous again.

Businessmen and women are ferocious problem solvers and, left alone, will make the most of our countries abundant strengths.

However, the first thing - illustrated by the implementation of Labour’s ‘packaging tax’ - is for government to stop making things worse!

There is a huge deadweight cost simply to being forced to deal with ever-changing or new regulations and taxes.

Packaging levies, bed taxes, sugar tax and now a ‘nice pubs tax’. SW1 just doesn’t have a clue how real business - particularly small ones - work.

Conservatives would go a great deal further. But just having a complete moratorium for years on any negative changes would release huge benefits.

[Kemi Badenoch @KemiBadenoch]

Enough is enough.

Conservatives will vote to FORCE Labour to publish the Defence Investment Plan.

It’s insane that with wars in Ukraine and Iran, Labour STILL haven’t published the plan promised a year ago. Conservatives will put our national security first.

[Mario Creatura @MarioCreatura]

Inspired idea.

The constant drip-drip of irritation and unnecessary friction soon mounts up into soul-destroying tedium.

Anything we can do to restore joy in life should be seized with both hands.

[quibble @QuibbleUK]

Hello, we are Jonathan and Abigail - unashamed pedants who want to bring this affliction to bear on all things public policy and practice.
We believe that details matter, especially in public administration. This is why today we are founding quibble: a campaign to fix the small stuff.
Think, for example, about the cookie banner that we click on every webpage. Each instance is not a big deal, so we just put up with it. But its cumulative impact adds up - on average we press it 5 times per day. The European Commission estimates that it costs EU citizens 343 million hours per year.
And who is there to represent the impacts of seemingly minor issues like this in a systematic way? We want quibble to be the answer. In the case of the cookie banner, lots of advocacy has rightly focused on privacy, but has this meant that user experience has taken a backseat? We believe there are ways to improve user experience without compromising on privacy. We will share more about this soon.
Consider another example. Did you know that in some government-run car parks you can be fined for a minor keying error, such as accidentally typing a zero instead of an “o”? Again, we will come to the detail of this quibble in the coming weeks, but for now just consider again the question: who? Who is there currently to systematically represent the interests of the parker who is given an unfair ticket?
An inherent feature of consumer interests is that those who have them rarely have enough other things in common to make collective organisation and representation feasible. This is the gap that quibble seeks to fill. Now of course excellent consumer interest groups exist. But understandably quibbles might not be at the top of their lists. Our hope is that quibble will be complementary; picking up the bottom-of-the-list issues faced by various groups - the stuff they are almost too embarrassed to raise because they are too small.
We are not embarrassed about detail. If you’ve ever had a splinter, you know small things can have a big impact. This is what quibble is committed to tackling, and our wider hope is that by doing so we will also incentivise policy makers to be even more careful about detail.

.@KemiBadenoch is right: we don’t elect 650 caseworkers.

We elect MPs to study the country’s biggest challenges, exercise judgement, shape legislation and champion the best way forward.

Fighting for your constituency matters. Helping solve Britain’s problems matters more.

@MatthewCorner @wandbc @aled_rj @wandsworth Huge congrats Matthew - you’ll knock it out of the park!

[David Reed MP @David__Reed]

1/ The time for excuses is over.

Next week, Conservatives will force a vote to compel the government to release the Defence Investment Plan- nine months overdue and still nowhere to be seen. This is the blueprint for how we spend taxpayers’ money on defence.

[Chris Philp MP @CPhilpOfficial]

Apparently this video isn’t enough evidence to convict the guy in blue for assaulting all three police officers

Yet Lucy Connolly got two years in prison for an off colour tweet - prosecutions Keir Starmer encouraged

Labour’s two tier justice system has to end

[Kemi Badenoch @KemiBadenoch]

Ed Miliband’s ideological shut-down of Scotland’s North Sea Oil & Gas Industry is going to hand Vladimir Putin £1 billion in oil revenue.

Our own oil is right there, under the North Sea. All we need to do is drill it.

Only the @Conservatives will get Britain drilling.

[Claire Coutinho @ClaireCoutinho]

It’s time to end the de facto ban on air conditioning.

Only 3% of British homes have air con compared to 90% of homes in the US, or Japan.

We need to overturn our miserabilist approach to energy which says we alone can’t have air con or AI.

Let’s Make Britain Cool Again 🇬🇧

[Kemi Badenoch @KemiBadenoch]

Energy bills are rising again. Labour will blame Iran, but you’re paying more because of Ed Miliband’s net zero taxes and refusal to drill our own oil and gas.

Our Cheap Power Plan would cut bills by 20% by scrapping the green taxes, scrapping VAT and drilling in the North Sea.
