Labour maxed out on spending in their first two budgets.
They promised to limit spending increases to £9.5 billion a year.
But they increased it by £146 billion instead.
That’s why they’re dithering on the Defence Investment Plan.
@CrewkerneMan True. I met @Winstamike at the @Conservatives conference in Birmingham '24. He is a solid, level headed Conservative, dedicated to public service and to UK values.
I had a fantastic time visiting the South of England Show today and I can honestly say it's a brilliant day out for all ages! 🌾🐑🐴
🚜 If you're looking for something special to do with family and friends this weekend, don't miss it.
😎 Running all weekend (5th to 7th June), the show is packed with incredible livestock displays, equestrian events, local food and drink, shopping, entertainment and so much more.
🐖 Get your tickets and experience one of the South East’s and Sussex’s biggest celebrations of rural life.
See you there! ☀️

I've noticed that more and more Reform UK supporters are calling those of us who are still Conservatives, Wets.
I'll wear that as a badge of honour because I'd rather identity as a Tory wet than a Racist Reform UK Retard.
Call me what you want, I'll #NeverVoteReformUK
Massive thank you to @RicHolden the Shadow Transport Secretary who was out and about with me in Makerfield today. Talking about the @Conservatives Transport plan and my campaign to make Orrell Train Station accessible for all.
Conservatives suggest ’100% business rates relief’ for retailers
https://t.co/Yz292D7oe3
The opposition party wants to “defend key pillars” of the community such as “post offices, pubs and pharmacies” and has pledged “permanent 100% business rates relief” for high street businesses. https://t.co/8K5NnHfq3T
It’s madness that we are importing expensive oil & gas when we have billions of barrels lying untapped.
I’m urging voters in Aberdeen South to back me on June 18 to send a message to the SNP and Labour.

Manchester is one of the most indebted councils in the country. It borrowed £289 million in 2024/25 and it owes £1.6 billion to creditors.

"UK construction output falls at fastest pace for six years"
The recent slump in the PMI is mainly due to the fallout from the Middle East crisis, but the sector has been struggling ever since the summer of 2024... 🤔
Housebuilding in particular has been persistently weak.
"Environment" and "climate change" are not the same thing. Lumping them together was deliberate, done to panic people into net zero, net stupid.
The environment is the hedgerow, the soil under your boots, the rivers, the insects, the birds, the air you breathe and the water you drink. Tangible. You live in it every day and you value it. Everyone does.
Global warming runs over timescales none of us will ever see. #NetZero just exports our carbon abroad killing our own jobs, businesses and economy in the process.
Scrapping it does not mean we stop caring for the real environment. Farmers never did, and we never will. 👍

So the government’s answer to water shortages is a new Water Regulator. Getting on with building new reservoirs would be a better idea. Why not get the present Regulator to do their job? Why do we keep adding to the population without adding more water resource?
The murder of Henry Nowak is nothing short of heartbreaking.
But if there is one thing that should come from his death, it is making things better so that it never happens again.
Everyone must be treated equally before the law.
The perverse police “anti-racism commitment” - introduced in March 2025 - must be scrapped.
It is itself racist. It aims to ‘artificially engineer’ arrest rates across different groups.
I’ve been calling for it to be scrapped for the last year. It needs to happen urgently.
Treating people differently on ethnic identity is wrong and leaves us all less safe.
