Again....children and families are left hanging 😡
The SEND system is broken, it is dire need of changes and the Government have delayed the decision until next year.
This is not acceptable, families deserve better from this useless Labour lot.
Inflation’s stuck at 3.8%. That’s almost double what it was when the Conservatives left office.
Labour have hiked taxes, refused to cut waste, and sent borrowing through the roof.
We’re the only party with a real plan to grow the economy, and the backbone to deliver it.
Nothing changes 🤦🏻♂️
She voted to remove winter fuel payments ❌
She voted for the increase in employers NI, costing businesses and councils £££ ❌
She voted for the family farm tax❌
There is no consideration for her constituents only her boss

The govt is so, so weak.
A monumental cock-up on their part has led to the collapse of a case about national security.
Instead, they’ve come to parliament to announce they’re providing a leaflet to MPs with guidance on security.
What’s the point of more legislation if they won’t prosecute breaches?
But I am not surprised at their ineptitude. This was a govt that was too weak to prosecute Kneecap, preferring to hand them taxpayers’ cash than see through the case.
If they are too weak to stand up to a music group, we can be damned sure they do not have the backbone to stand up to China, now or ever.
If you want to cut taxes, you have to make savings. That's the difference between Conservatives and other parties.
Labour's and Reform's idea of 'fairness' is pulling everyone down to the same level.
Our idea is lifting people up – helping them to build, buy, own and achieve.
A hand up the housing ladder, not a handout. Everything Labour is doing will make it harder for people to get on in life.
They've wrapped red tape around energy, employment, enterprise – everything that makes Britain dynamic.
They've driven businesses out of business, and ambition out of the economy.
But, given how catastrophically it's working out for them, maybe they'll finally change course.
So today I'm calling out Rachel Reeves: if you really want to help working people – steal our plan.
Bring down welfare spending. Cut the Civil Service. Cut the overseas aid budget. We'll even help you with the votes in Parliament to do it.
I'm not writing a blank cheque, but I am saying work with us and if we can agree a sensible way forward, we will vote for these savings on a three-line whip.
When, inevitably, Keir Starmer says he 'can't afford' to scrap stamp duty, what he really means is, he doesn't have the backbone to make difficult choices.
He can't say no to his Left-wing backbench MPs. He can't stand up to the trade unions. Our Prime Minister is so weak and spineless, he can't do the courageous things needed to make the country stronger.
Britain deserves better. At the heart of a Conservative Britain is a country where people who wish to own their own home can do so, from young professionals to pensioners.
All of them are currently being punished by a tax that says, 'Don't move, don't improve, don't aspire'.
We want to set them free. And we can afford it because we've done the hard work.
We've got a plan, we've found the savings and we will make the tough choices. Because that's what a responsible government does. That's the way to achieve the real British dream.
Abolishing stamp duty isn't about helping a few homeowners – it's about unlocking the energy of a nation.
It's about freeing people to move and grow. It's about telling every person who works hard, saves hard and wants to get ahead: 'We are on your side.'
If Labour truly cared about fairness, mobility and aspiration they'd take our advice and accept our help.
So, I say to Labour: 'Go on. Steal our idea. Cut the waste. Scrap stamp duty. Do something bold and brave. Get this country moving again.'
Your move, Rachel.
My piece in the @DailyMail.
For 3 months, Cllr Harrison has failed
❌Failed to consult the public.
❌Failed to inform the council.
❌He has failed to bring forward a credible plan for Leicestershire’s future.
And now he want's to give away parts of the County to a failing City

Labour spent a year blaming “14 years of Tory chaos” but the chaos now is theirs.
No pandemic. No war. No excuses.
Just bad decisions, higher taxes, weaker borders.
This mess was made in Downing Street.
We’ve fixed things before. We’ll do it again. 🇬🇧
