I know everyone is poring over election results, but let’s not forget… Today is VE Day.
It’s still living memory and being able to have elections is one of the freedoms fought for.
That freedom was bought by men and women who served our country.
Even now our veterans need defending.
The battles are different…like stopping brave veterans being dragged through the courts for vexatious claims in their old age.
Conservatives continue to fight. Just yesterday, the Supreme Court reinstated immunities after my Shadow Attorney General, Lord Wolfson stepped in, acted pro bono for veterans, and won.
We’re the only party doing the work.
On VE Day, we remember their sacrifice.
But remembrance is not enough. We should also honour our veterans by looking after them and defending them in Parliament, in the courts just as they defended us.
This is no longer just about Peter Mandelson.
It is about whether the Prime Minister tells the truth when Parliament asks, whether he takes responsibility for his own decisions, and whether standards in public life still mean anything at all.
The country is watching.
Labour made promises and broke them. They lied to you.
“Mark my words, Labour will raise your taxes”
“You name it, Labour will tax it”.
“I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again, he is going to put up your taxes.”
Remind everyone. ⚠️
Get Labour out on 7 May. ⚠️
“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.

Due to reported missile attacks, British nationals in Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar and United Arab Emirates should immediately shelter in place.
Remain indoors in a secure location, avoid all travel and follow instructions from the local authorities.
Good. Now chuck the Chagos surrender.
Handing over British territory and paying millions a year to lease it back is indefensible.
It’s because @Conservatives refused to stay silent that this has been paused. We will keep fighting.
Lifting the two-child benefit cap is as unfair as it is unaffordable.
@Helen_Whately is leading the fight for the @Conservatives against Labour on this.
We back work, responsibility and a welfare system that’s a safety net, not a way of life.
The @Conservatives are on the side of young people who work hard and do the right thing.
We will get debt off their backs and make sure our economy works for them.
More to come on our big bold offer for younger generations.
Darwin & Biggin Hill SNT have been out on patrols today. One male has been arrested for immigration offences, One Moped Seized and the driver has been processed for No Insurance and no Driving Licence.
Macclesfield defender Sam Heathcote, who is a full-time teacher, was back in school on Monday — just two days after helping stun Crystal Palace in the FA Cup’s greatest-ever upset. 😲
Unsurprisingly, he was welcomed back like a hero. 👏
The House of Lords can see that Labour's Chagos surrender weakens our national interest.
It costs £35 billion when we should be spending that money on defence.
Britain deserves better. If Starmer had a backbone he would change course.
'So you freeze the National Rail fares - but you don't seek to freeze TfL.'
@NickFerrariLBC asks Transport Secretary Heidi Alexander to justify Londoners potentially having their Tube fares go up again.
This is unacceptable behaviour from @MayorofLondon . He is accountable to Londoners . He never answers a question from elected members and believes he is bigger than the office he holds @AlexWilsonAM
So @Keir_Starmer wife stormed off during a dinner weeks ago, and has not been seen since. Insiders say she has filed for divorce. And Keir is publicly talking about his HIV tests.
🚨NEW | Steve Wright has called on Labour MPs to rebel on the government's welfare cuts when it comes to a vote next month.
Cuts to disability benefits are due to leave millions of people thousands of pounds a year worse off.
