Ann Widdecombe was a formidable politician who was never afraid to speak her mind and fought hard for what she believed.
Our thoughts are with her family and loved ones at this heartbreaking time.
Rest in peace, Ann.
My deepest condolences and those of the Conservative Party to the family and friends of Ann Widdecombe. She was a formidable politician who was never afraid to speak her mind and fought hard for what she believed. Always true to herself, her politics were strongly guided by her faith and her values.
Rest in Peace, Ann.
Two hundred and fifty years ago, 56 men gathered in Philadelphia and committed treason against the most powerful empire on Earth.
Representing 13 colonies, they were landowners, entrepreneurs, politicians and others who had become gripped by new ideas flowing from Enlightenment thinkers and Christian teaching.
Those convictions led them to start a war no sane person believed they could win — and what happened inside the Pennsylvania State House did not just create a nation. It helped create the political world we still live in today.
Britain is a Christian country.
The Conservative Party will always celebrate our Christian heritage with deeds, not just words.
This Easter, we want to ensure local churches are properly maintained and repaired so we’re announcing a plan to restore funding for the Listed Places of Worship Grant Scheme which the government has recently placed caps on.
Churches matter. They aren’t just important places of worship, in many towns and villages they are the centre of the community and the pride of local people, often steeped in hundreds of years of history. It is critical we maintain them properly, because when they’re gone, this history and heritage could be lost forever.
@Conservatives believe we have a responsibility to protect our churches and make sure they endure for future generations. What are we for if not to conserve the very best of our country and our society for those yet to come?
Conservatives will protect our heritage and build a stronger country.
You might describe it as the Polanski paradox. The party which calls itself Green, which has concern for the environment as its raison d’être, has never been more popular.
Four Green MPs returned at the last general election. Victory in the recent Gorton and Denton by-election. Local election gains in May predicted to be sweeping. Running second in many national opinion polls, and in the projected seat tally for the Scottish parliament.

Trial by jury has been a cornerstone of our justice system for more than 800 years.
That is, until David Lammy showed up.
Tonight we're forcing a vote in Parliament to make him change course.
Great to see Party Chairmen past, @HuddlestonNigel, and present, @kevinhollinrake, at our reception last night! Both have been strong advocates for the CDG.
Sir Keir Starmer could pay for 15 new warships or quadruple the size of the British Army by halting this year’s £18bn rise in welfare spending, analysis has shown.

SHOCKING: Keir Starmer is plotting to change the rules so that elderly British veterans can be dragged before the courts.
As his own NI Veteran's Commissioner put it, Labour are treating our brave veterans “worse than terrorists”.
Disgraceful.
Marching together, in remembrance.
Following the National Act of Remembrance, led by His Majesty The King, thousands of veterans took part in the @PoppyLegion Cenotaph Parade, in personal tribute to the fallen.

On the 24th anniversary of 9/11, we honor the lives lost, the heroes who emerged, and the resilience of the American spirit.
America will never forget.
The murder of Charlie Kirk is a tragedy, and a sign of the utter desperation and cowardice of those who could not defeat him in argument. Charlie Kirk has been killed not for espousing extremist views - because he didn’t. He has been killed for saying things that used to be simple common sense. He has been killed because he had the courage to stand up publicly for reasonable opinions held by millions and millions of ordinary people both in the US and Britain. The world has a shining new martyr to free speech.
Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and loved ones.
