As your local MP, I'm fighting to keep Bromley and Biggin Hill safe, green and thriving.

I voted against Labour's cruel cuts and tax rises, and I'm standing up for you and your family in Parliament.

Confirmation that funding for the Defence Investment Plan is no more than what Healey was offered - which begs the question👇

[Kemi Badenoch @KemiBadenoch]

The Defence Secretary resigned 3 weeks ago because he was being forced to make decisions that would make our troops and our country less safe.

Today Labour is publishing a Defence Investment Plan that is barely half what the armed forces say is needed, and well below what our allies are spending.

Starmer is no longer the real Prime Minister. But he’s underfunding our military in his search for a ‘legacy’. If Andy Burnham has signed off on this, then he too is culpable of putting our service personnel at risk with this weak plan.

We need to cut benefits to fund our armed forces. It doesn’t matter who leads them, the problem is Labour MPs who won’t do what is necessary to defend our country.

[Peter Fortune MP @PeterTFortune]

Our highstreets and small businesses are the backbone of our economy in Bromley and Biggin Hill, but they have been struggling under this Government’s excessive taxes. They need a cut in business rates if they are to thrive, not the hike they have seen under this Government.

[Peter Fortune MP @PeterTFortune]

No better way to round off Armed Forces Week last week than with a visit to Hayes Royal British Legion to present them with a £250 donation that I secured for them by placing a charity Grand National Bet.
Brilliant to enjoy some entertainment from the D Day Belles afterwards too.

Britain cannot afford a summer of chaos.

Andy Burnham should delay the summer recess, come to Parliament, and tell us his plan for this country.

Britain has already paid the price for a Labour Prime Minister who entered office without a plan.

We cannot let the same thing happen again.

Kemi will set out her tests to Andy Burnham.

10am. Across Social Media.

[Kemi Badenoch @KemiBadenoch]

Sir John Major makes the essential point. Parents who send children to private school save the state money.

Labour’s tax on them has failed. Now the state has 2,000 fewer teachers than when Conservatives left office.

So we will reverse this futile, vindictive policy.

I’ll cherish memories of watching Ben Stokes’ Ashes💯at Lord’s in 2023 after the controversial stumping. Never seen focused fire & fury from a batter like that. The Aussies didn’t know what had hit them. His selfless bowling & inspirational captaincy makes him so hard to replace

Yesterday we announced our new policy - a Tax Free Reserve Service. Read my full piece in the @Daily_Express below👇

A great event to celebrate the armed forces community in Bromley.
#ArmedForcesDay

[Conservatives @Conservatives]

Cut Welfare. Fund Defence.

[Conservatives @Conservatives]

The next Conservative government will create a 50,000-strong Armed Forces Reserve.

Here’s how ⬇️

A message from the Shadow Defence Team on Armed Forces Day. #ArmedForcesWeek

[James Cartlidge MP 🇬🇧 🇺🇦 @jcartlidgemp]

A real highlight of #ArmedForcesWeek so far has been chatting to service personnel with @KemiBadenoch - it’s critical to show all who serve that we have their back.

[Julia Lopez MP @JuliaLopezMP]

Good news in our campaign to stop Labour charging VAT on free medicines given in clinical trials.

Treasury has backtracked. Minister confirmed in parliament this week that they’ll either change the VAT rules or bring forward a reimbursement scheme.

Hopefully those cancer trials that got cancelled due to this craziness can now get back on track.

[Julia Lopez MP @JuliaLopezMP]

This week, the Shadow Science & Tech team met Minister, Patrick Vallance, on behalf of the @lobularmoonshot campaign to keep pushing for progress in getting the research we need on lobular breast cancer.

It was a really positive meeting and we got an update on the roundtable Lord Vallance convened with researchers and pharma companies to make progress. The particular challenge with lobular is how hard its recurrence is to detect so we talked about the need for a different approach to trials, screening and research.

@PeterTFortune and I will keep pushing on behalf of affected constituents, the many women across the country who are facing up to a diagnosis and, of course, the future women who we hope won't have to have the same fight.
