🥩Illegal meat imports are coming into the UK at alarming levels.
❗This could result in a catastrophic animal disease outbreak like Foot and Mouth or African Swine Fever
❓The Govt say data on this are not available and admit gaps in checks at the border
❗The Govt must wake up!

Tax-Free Reserve Service is our plan to attract thousands more people into the Reserves. Today we’ve launched a calculator to show how the scheme could help you👇

One of our key conclusions is that Sir Olly Robbins believed he was carrying out the Prime Minister's wishes. His subsequent dismissal therefore appears to have been made without full due process or establishing the facts.

I'm clear Mandelson's appointment should not have happened.

Today, @CommonsForeign published our report into how it happened. Lots of questions remain, but after months of scrutiny, we've made a series of recommendations to prevent this happening again.

🌡Britain is facing record-shattering heatwaves.

But we can keep Britannia cool and create beautiful communities.

In our essay collection, @AphraBrandreth says we must cut red tape to unleash a tree planting wave.

[Victoria Atkins @VictoriaAtkins]

British farmers face monumental challenges. The last thing they need is more bureaucracy and higher taxes from Labour.

They need a government that actually backs them. This is why the @Conservatives are working directly with farmers, experts and innovators to champion new ideas and build a resilient landscape.

Because we want our farmers, food producers and environment to thrive, not just survive.

[Victoria Atkins @VictoriaAtkins]

Delighted to introduce @CEN_HQ’s ‘A shining city upon a hill’.

Some v. interesting contributions from Conservatives, including ideas on how Conservatism can deliver for everyone in our towns and cities.

[Aphra Brandreth @AphraBrandreth]

Animal abuse is never "just" animal abuse.

Too often, those who abuse animals also abuse people, or use beloved pets to intimidate and control their victims.

I urged the Government to do more to improve information sharing, raise awareness and hold offenders to account.

[Alicia Kearns MP @aliciakearns]

The Court of Appeal must today stand by women and girls.

It will today hear the case of the Fordingbridge Three - gang rapists of two girls who wrongly escaped prison.

I demanded the Attorney General refer their sentences as Unduly Lenient Sentencing - I’m grateful he did.

The court must do the right thing and put these boys behind bars, giving the survivors the justice so far denied them.

[Anne Jenkin @Baronessjenkin]

Great to see so many @Women2Win alumnae enjoying the weather,
The hospitality of the ABI and the inspirational words of @AphraBrandreth who encouraged so many women there to step up and start their journeys into public life.

[James Cartlidge MP 🇬🇧 🇺🇦 @jcartlidgemp]

Tax Free Reserve Service - our new policy to incentivise growing the Reserve to 50,000 personnel. Other nations are using conscription to boost their Reserve. We would use tax cuts instead, funded by our savings from restoring the two child benefit cap.

Labour has repeatedly broken its promises to farmers; despite a 25-year roadmap, their EU negotiations will undermine reality.

I expressed this real concern with Labour earlier this week 👇

[Ben Fletcher @BackBen4Mayor]

At the heart of Labour economic thinking is the idea that if something is untaxed it is a ‘tax break’. We can’t say we weren’t warned by @RishiSunak

The much worse part is the undoing of the work done by successive governments to improve state standards.

[Victoria Atkins @VictoriaAtkins]

Labour finally published their 25 year Farming Roadmap today.

🔊Listen for my full reponse 👇

[Mel Stride @MelJStride]

Labour MPs need to understand that the problem is not just Keir Starmer - it's the Labour Party.

All the signs are that Andy Burnham will repeat all of the same mistakes, trying to fix our problems with yet more taxes, borrowing and spending. If he does, our economy will continue to weaken and working people will suffer - while the benefits bill continues to spiral and our national defence remains neglected.

Britain simply cannot afford another three years of Labour.

This is a significant result, and I want to start by congratulating @DLumsden_MSP on becoming the new Member of Parliament for Aberdeen South and the newest Conservative MP!

Makerfield was about one man’s job.

Aberdeen South was about thousands of jobs in oil and gas across our country and the future of an entire city.

Yesterday, the people of Aberdeen sent a message on behalf of the whole country. Energy security is national security. They know it is common sense to use our own oil and gas rather than importing it from overseas. They know it is madness to make ourselves poorer, weaker and more dependent at a time when even the government’s own intelligence says we are under threat. The first duty of any government is to keep its people safe. The Conservative Party will always put Britain’s security first.

What makes this result particularly significant is that many people who voted Conservative today have never voted Conservative before. I want to thank every one of them.

Many will have voted for us because they care deeply about Aberdeen and its future. Many will have voted for us because they are sick of the SNP’s shenanigans. Others because they are worried about what Labour’s policies mean for their jobs and livelihoods. Many voted for us because they wanted a strong local champion.

Douglas is that champion. He has lived in Aberdeen all his life. He spent two decades working in the oil and gas industry. He knows this city, he knows its people, and throughout this campaign he brought energy, optimism and a genuine belief in Aberdeen’s future. Wherever he went, he had a smile on his face and a positive message about what this great city can achieve.

The Conservative Party is working to earn the trust of the country again. I am grateful and humbled that Aberdeen looked at the choice before them and decided that the Conservative Party was the party that would fight for families, workers and business.

Thank you, Aberdeen. I will never stop fighting for you. Douglas will never stop fighting for you.

The Conservative Party will keep fighting for common sense, a stronger economy and a stronger country.
