.@myldn gets @BSR_buildsafe response re awful scenario of @lambeth_council 19-storey tower block residents too often enduring no working lift

BSR must approve lift refurbishment work asap in line with priority to ensure residents "are safe in their homes"

Good to be back out in Clapham Town on Sat with fellow @Lambeth_Tories election candidate from May @ForresterJJ & other colleagues

We're delivering @KemiBadenoch message on @Conservatives economic policies to residents:

Rewarding hard work, backing business and cutting red tape

[Neil Salt @NeilSalt2019]

Privileged to have been in audience of a sell-out, spellbinding @StreathamChoral concert under baton of Calum Fraser, as they performed Duke Ellington's Sacred Concert.
@BrixChamber also excelled, as did soprano Verushka
& all taking place in great Streatham Hill Theatre venue.

[Neil Salt @NeilSalt2019]

Good to have been on HMS Wellington's deck on Tue to hear @KemiBadenoch remind us that @Conservatives are the only Party with a credible plan to get to 3% of GDP by 2030 to fund our defence by cutting the welfare bill & wasteful spending by £70bn
@jcartlidgemp also spoke at start

[City Hall Conservatives @CityHallTories]

Yesterday, @Councillorsuzie proposed a motion to condemn the Green Party's policy of "Zionism is Racism."

Watch in full Susan Hall AM's opening remarks, as she expresses the fear and concern that Britain's Jewish community has to endure as a result of these nasty politics.

Brilliant content from Jonny Wilkinson.

This is v good to see and isn't surprising on the back of 4 polls in a row that have shown @Conservatives to be in 2nd place to @UKLabour and with @reformparty_uk relegated to 3rd place:
- today's @YouGov poll
- 25 Oct @Ipsos_in_the_UK
- 14 Oct @Moreincommon_
- 13 Oct @YouGov

The Conservative Party has overtaken Reform UK in the electionmapsuk polling tracker.

This is the first time the Tories have polled ahead of Reform since January 2025.

[Julian Ellacott @JulianEllacott]

Two years ago today @KemiBadenoch was elected leader of our Party. I was pleased to be one of the first to congratulate her, on behalf of the membership. Since then she has led with clarity, and always recognising the importance of our volunteers. 💙

A few welcome announcements in first @JohnHealey_MP budget, but delivering it 1 month ahead of last year's indicated likelihood of it being a "deferral budget"
So it proved to be, preferring to wait for Spending Review & after both Milburn & Timms reviews

[Neil Salt @NeilSalt2019]

Impressive @KemiBadenoch response to @JohnHealey_MP's budget & @UKLabour frontbench know it
Key takeaways from @OBR_UK
- Growth next y'r downgraded
- Inflation up every y'r to 2030
- Real household disposable income lower every y'r
- debt interest bill £14bn higher than expected

[Kemi Badenoch @KemiBadenoch]

Is that it?

John Healey had a big job to do cleaning up Labour’s mess. This Budget fails to do it.

Britain is overspent, overborrowed and overtaxed. This Budget does not come close to meeting the moment.

Many congratulations to @HKane on receiving the 2026 Men's Ballon d'Or

It's been a long 25-year wait since @themichaelowen was the last Englishman to win it

May this win for @HKane be the inspiration for so v many talented young English players working their way up in the game

[England @England]

The best player in the world.

Good to see @Ipsos_in_the_UK polling data evidence @Conservatives in 2nd place to @UKLabour

This follows up on @YouGov 13.10 poll & @Moreincommon_ 14.10 poll evidencing the same

Polling for Lab in these 3 polls fluctuates wildly between 32% & 24%, but between 24% & 23% for Con

[Ipsos in the UK @Ipsos_in_the_UK]

NEW headline voting intention from Ipsos

📊Labour on 32% with a lead of +8 – the largest Labour lead Ipsos have recorded this parliament

📊Conservatives take second place the first time since June 2025

📊Reform UK down 3 points and Greens down 5

A great shame for all who've been preparing for what would have been London's Diwali on Trafalgar Square celebrations tomo

Clearly no prep work could have taken place in the Square today, which seemingly was essential? Tomo's forecast is sunshine for L'dn

[electionmapsuk @electionmapsuk]

Last night was the Conservatives’ best in a long time: four wins from five contests, three of them gains.

That takes them to 29 wins since May’s local elections, more than any other party (Reform 26, Labour 26, Lib Dems 24).
