So proud of the whole team! What a special day 👏
Just over 2 years ago we were delighted to share that Ofsted had rated us ‘Outstanding’.
From ‘Requires Improvement’ when I took over as lead in July 2020, to Outstanding in just 4 years. What a journey! 🙌

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.

How many warnings get ignored before we admit the truth?
When public services fear accusations of racism more than they fear threats to public safety, innocent people pay the price.
📣Cllr Kevin Bentley has appointed Cllr Deborah Taylor @CllrDTaylor, Conservative Group Leader on Leicestershire County Council, to be a Conservative Member on the LGA Culture, Tourism & Sport Committee following the local elections👇
Politics is not a game. We are working hard to build a serious, united Conservative Party people can trust - built on honesty and responsibility.
These values have to mean something and that is why we have taken the decision to suspend Councillor Adam Kent.
The Party's position was clear from the start. I was very clear we did not approve of the arrangement with the Greens at Worcestershire Council and it did not have our support. Councillor Kent agreed.
That should have been communicated clearly and unambiguously to his colleagues.
He told the national Party that he would not do a deal with the Greens. Then he went ahead and put together a rainbow coalition involving Green councillors anyway.
Worse, his group was told something that was not true. Fellow Conservative councillors were given the impression that this deal had Party support when it did not.
This was dishonest.
People are tired of politicians treating public office as a game of manoeuvres and tactics, saying one thing while doing another.
We can see the chaos this is bringing to the Labour Party nationally. That is exactly the sort of behaviour that has damaged trust in politics for too long and the party leadership under Kemi Badenoch is bringing an end to this nonsense.
We are a team and we are honest with each other.
And as a party we want people to know what we stand for, what we will do and that those representing our Party are honest with their colleagues and with the public.
As soon as we became aware of this, we acted immediately because unlike parties like Reform, we take responsibility for those who represent our Party.
We do not want people in politics who think this sort of conduct is acceptable. Our values are standards, not slogans.
As Party Chairman, I have received a full and firm account of what happened at Worcestershire County Council. Given I was clear that this arrangement was not approved and did not have our support the deal will not now go ahead. That position has been agreed by other Conservative councillors locally.
We are one Party and one team. When someone representing us falls short of our values, we do not hide behind process like Keir Starmer or pretend it has nothing to do with us like Nigel Farage. We act.
That is the truth of why the Conservative Group Leader has been suspended pending investigation.
We are a new Conservative Party under new leadership, built on honesty, responsibility and trust.
The public are tired of politicians saying one thing and doing another. So are we.
Today’s ‘𝐒𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝐒𝐩𝐨𝐭𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭’ is Meg-a Cakes Cafe in Glenfield, who came second in my Mid Leicestershire’s Best Café Competition last year - Here’s the moment I presented them with their award!
If you’re local to the area, then you’ll know just how popular they are.
What’s your favourite thing on the menu? 👇
Today Labour MP, after Labour MP has argued that they are the party of "working people".
Their inability to make welfare savings, and refusal to work with @Conservatives to get folk back into work proves this.
Will we now see a Welfare Savings Bill in The Kings Speech?
For the first time ever, I provided my questions to Keir Starmer in advance.
You’ll notice that after 5 non-answers he completely refused to answer Question 6 -that he knew Mandelson had remained a Director of a Russian company reportedly linked to Putin.
Why didn’t he answer?👇
Are we seriously saying that Reform UK are so far past the benchmark of scrutiny that they can now post obvious fake, Ai images, with no scrutiny?
Can you imagine the all mighty furore if Keir Starmer had been caught posting FAKE photos?
This is unbelievable.

I rarely agree with @HackneyAbbott on anything, but on the Prime Minister's appointment of Peter Mandelson she is absolutely spot on! 👇🏽
Use your postal vote to back our plan to hire 10,000 extra police officers, paid for by cutting welfare and shrinking the size of the Civil Service.
Vote Conservative.
"If anybody from any other party had been in that situation and tried to dodge paying tax.. if she had any integrity, and moral decency, given her position... she would offer her resignation." @TiceRichard.
