You may not agree with me, but you will always know where you stand with me.

Today in Billericay, a heckler tried to shout me down as I spoke about the normalisation of hatred towards Jews. I did not back down, because it needs to be said. British Jews are being targeted and too many people are pretending this is the same experience of other minorities. This lady implied Muslims are being similarly targeted. This is simply not true.

Let's be honest about what is happening. Certain groups (in particular but not solely Islamic Extremists) are creating a climate of fear and intimidation that is normalising Jew hatred. I will never stand for that. Governments have spent too long hand-wringing, making excuses and hoping it would go away. It is time to call this what it is: a national emergency in our attitude, our urgency and our response.

I will always engage with people who disagree with me. That is politics. But there is a difference between argument and intimidation. Shouting does not make a bad case good. It's done to silence others. And it certainly does not change the truth.

The truth is that British Jews have been made to feel less safe in their own country. Our country. They are being singled out, threatened and harassed in ways that should shame everyone in public life. If we do not stand up now and stop this rise in antisemitism, then why bother saying "Never Again" at Holocaust Memorial Day? Because this is how it starts.

I am not prepared to play along with the pretence that this is normal, or manageable, or just another example of tension between groups. It really is not. It is targeted hatred and it is getting worse.

So my message is simple. Not here. Not in Britain. And not on our watch. We need to stop the hand-wringing and start doing the right thing. That means standing with British Jews openly, unapologetically and without fear.

[Kemi Badenoch @KemiBadenoch]

Jewish people in our country are under constant attack.

This is no longer a growing pattern. There is an epidemic of violence against Jewish people.

It is now a national emergency and needs to be treated as such by the Government and public authorities.

Keir Starmer misled Parliament, sacked officials for his own failures, and risked national security with Mandelson’s appointment.

MPs will now vote on referring him to the Privileges Committee.

The Prime Minister should be held to the same standards he held others.

[Kemi Badenoch @KemiBadenoch]

Happy St George’s Day.

Be proud.

Fantastic day out in Cannon Hill! 🌞
We were delighted to welcome @Councillorsuzie, who joined local candidates Cllr Michael Paterson, Frank Pocock on the campaign trail yesterday. We were also joined by Lower Morden candidates Jack Gebhard, Joe Hackett and Harry Todd.
It was a brilliant opportunity to highlight the issues that matter most to our community and share our vision for the future.
Let’s keep the momentum going! 💙

“The Prime Minister lied.

It’s now in the national interest he goes.”

Keir Starmer’s words…not ours.

We’re only holding him to the standards he set himself.

[Kemi Badenoch @KemiBadenoch]

When Conservatives left office, we had the highest growth in the G7…now we’ve been given the biggest downgrade.

Reeves and Starmer have driven the economy into the gutter and now the country is paying the price.

Only the Conservatives will get Britain working again.

[Nigel Huddleston MP @HuddlestonNigel]

This is the difference between Conservatives and Reform.

We will get the welfare bill under control where it matters, whilst Reform is focused on distraction tactics.

A smaller state protects taxpayers. It doesn't mean dictating pricing to charities and cultural institutions and stopping the children of people on benefits from going to museums or the zoo.

[Kemi Badenoch @KemiBadenoch]

Lib Dems want to hike income tax in Wales.

Does Ed Davey plan to tax families in England even more too?

Only the Conservatives have a plan to cut taxes, abolishing stamp duty and scrapping high street business rates. All funded by our £47bn savings plan.

[Conservatives @Conservatives]

Ed Davey’s Lazy Lib Dems are trying to scam you.

[Conservatives @Conservatives]

Hallelujah! He is risen!

Wishing you and your family a Happy Easter from all of us at the Conservative Party.

[Merton Conservatives @MertonTories]

RT @nick_cannonhill: And the @MertonLibDems are encouraging people to claim more benefits!

[Conservatives @Conservatives]

CONFIRMED: New figures show Conservative-run authorities deliver lower council tax rises than any other Party.

Vote Conservative on 7 May!

[Kemi Badenoch @KemiBadenoch]

Last year it was the Budget for Benefits Street.

Now it’s the Bailout for Benefits Street.

Labour are taxing working people to hand out more welfare.

Only the @Conservatives have a plan to bring down energy bills for everyone.

Conservatives are on the side of hard working people. On the side of people who contribute to making our country great. On the side of people who want to get on.

The Conservative party are on your side.

So on May 7th, vote Conservative and get Britain working again.

[Kemi Badenoch @KemiBadenoch]

Only the @Conservatives have a plan to get Britain working again.

Let’s get to it 🚀

[Conservatives @Conservatives]

It’s time to Take Back Our Streets.

[Chris Philp MP @CPhilpOfficial]

Britain cannot accept rising crime as the norm.

Our Take Back Our Streets plan will restore order, catch criminals and give the police the support they need.
