Congratulations to Peter Bedford MP, the first MP to be elected in the Mid Leicestershire Constituency. As an experienced County Councillor for the past 7 years he has worked hard for his residents. He has the experience to be an effective MP for all the Mid Leicestershire area.

🗣Earlier today I asked ministers what advice they'd give to small and medium sized businesses in 🦊Mid Leicestershire, given the burdens and extra costs being piled on them by the Employment Rights Act. 📜

The response I got back was nonchalant, to say the least. 🤷🏼

Our SMEs are the backbone of our local economy. They deserve a government that understands the pressures they're under; not one that shrugs them off.

This Government is clearly not on the side of the wealth creators.
Businesses in Mid Leicestershire deserve better. 👍🏽

Reform UK’s Leader in Warwickshire @_GeorgeFinch is in trouble.

He’s lost all legitimacy as Leader of the council.

It’s only 3 months since he survived a no-confidence vote by 1.

Now, Councillors Dan Glover and Rob Aitkenhead have defected to Restore Britain.

Let’s not forget that during the no confidence vote 2 Restore councillors abstained. Their voting block is 4 and they won’t be so kind next time.

Finch has lost legitimacy. He should resign before he’s kicked out in disgrace.

In a head-to-head, Britons are now more than twice as likely to believe Kemi Badenoch would be a better prime minister than Nigel Farage, having been divided on the question last summer

Badenoch: 38% (no change from 30 Apr-1 May)
Farage: 17% (-3)

The Treasury Management Strategy was approved by the RUK cabinet in Feb 2026.
Appendix F - Capital Programme 2026-30 approved by RUK cabinet with a £181m gap, a gap of £75m to be covered by borrowing.
Putting the council into more debt. Facts are facts.

Let's get the truth out there...taken from the actual cabinet papers approved in February 2026 by the Reform UK Cabinet.

I'm one of the @LeicsCC_Cons who is the shadow finance lead; Reform UK is trying to pretend Leicestershire's financial challenges have suddenly disappeared.

The same financial reports that Reform are celebrating also showed:

• A £65 million capital funding gap.
• Up to £60 million of savings still to be delivered.
• A SEND deficit approaching £100 million before Government support.
As Scrutiny Commission highlighted on 10 June, the 2025/26 Outturn Report shows demand remains highly unpredictable across adult social care, children's services and SEND. Yet many of their proposed savings/cuts rely on reducing demand in those very same services.
Hope is not a financial strategy.

Reform promised a treasure chest of easy savings.

They appear to be discovering that the cupboard is largely bare.

Basically, they’ve raided reserves to reduce loans while planning £84m in new borrowing.

Seen it all before. Classic Janet and John, smoke and mirrors con trick.

Don’t fall for it.

[Kevin Hollinrake MP @kevinhollinrake]

Joseph, you are boasting about paying off £26.9m of Leicestershire debt “inherited from the Tories.”

But your own Capital Strategy doesn’t explain how that’s happening or where the money came from.

Meanwhile you’re planning £84m of new borrowing over the next four years. If this is real, publish the accounts that prove it.

Two holds and 2 GAINS from Reform, people are waking up, the only serious party is the @Conservatives party

[Deborah Taylor @CllrDTaylor]

Congratulations, great win 👏

[Deborah Taylor @CllrDTaylor]

Very bad night for @reformparty_uk and they threw everything at the Makerfield election, including the kitchen sink, and still lost.

Brilliant night for the @Conservatives with wins across Britain 🇬🇧

Time to go Nigel, resign.

It's worth remembering:
Any government big enough to give you everything you want is big enough to take away everything you have...
