As Cumberlands 'finest' gather to celebrate the opening of the new road, we celebrate the connection of our area both north and south to the motorway. I hope they have it in them to acknowledge the contribution @John4Carlisle_ made in securing the funding to get the road built.
Had a wonderful morning at @CumberlandShow and so, with rain delaying play at Lords, what better way to spend an afternoon out for @CarlisleCA, @MortonNCons and @Conservatives in lovely Cumberland. A great day all round!
Labour Together sponsors our @carlisle_labour MP, Julie Minns. Tomorrow how will she vote? Refer Labour Together biggest asset, the PM, @Keir_Starmer to Standards committee or will she keep taking their shilling and be tainted for her remaining time in parliament? @newsandstar
The damming list of increased costs cited by Routledges as the reasons in ceasing trading after 109yrs is truly awful for all those involved. If our MP did her job in London and warned of the consequences Labour policy rather than cake photo ops, they might have stood a chance.
I just reminded the Prime Minister of the Nolan Principles - which are meant to govern the behaviour of those in public office.
Selflessness.
Integrity.
Objectivity.
Accountability.
Openness.
Honesty.
And Leadership.

"Labour ARE doubling down on dependency" 🗣️
The latest episode of A Nation of Taxpayers with @ClarkVasey from @bluecollartory_ is live! He joined @DuncanBarkes and @yarwoodwilliam to discuss what it means to be a blue-collar conservative 🎙️
Britain is not working. Our worklessness crisis grows, our benefits bill is out of control & we are risking a generation of lost potential with nearly a million young people not in education employment or training.
Labour are destroying jobs & the budget will only make it worse.
It doesn't have to be like this. The tools to our renewal are to be found in the talents of our people.
We need Blue Collar Britain.
A Britain which works. National renewal built on jobs, opportunity & our collective efforts.
@bluecollartory_ co-founders @EstherMcVey1 & @ClarkVasey went to Newcastle to talk about the potential of #BlueCollarBritain.
NEW. Extracts from Sir John Major’s speech to a Conservative Party Lunch earlier this afternoon.
“Reform wishes to nationalise half the water industry, yet does not seem to realise the reason for privatisation was because the State had no funds for investment. Nor do they now.
This is amateur populism let loose. Such foolish promises illustrate their unsuitability for power.
As Reform becomes ever more unrealistic, it opens up a big space on the Centre-Right of politics which is where Conservatism flourishes.
We must grasp this”.
August 26: Nigel Farage says Reform will house migrants in disused RAF bases before deportation.
September 19: Reform mayor Andrea Jenkyns protests against the use of a disused RAF base to house migrants.
These are just some of Angela Rayner’s posts on her opponents’ perceived misdeeds on tax. Big part of her current problem is during her career she has made a massive issue of both entirely legal tax avoidance & politicians appearing to believe they a law apart.
