Co-opted my corgi boy today to canvas for @OttoJacobsson in the upcoming by-election in Trinity Ward. Great turnout and time to get full Tory control of Wandsworth Council!
Gentle reminder that the British people do not want Kinnock’s ideas, whether they come from him or Burnham. Raiding CGT will be another heavy blow to the economy, with Treasury figures themselves showing that increasing CGT rates will lead to less revenue and lower growth. What it needs instead is to get our unsustainable welfare bill under control, to allow for tax cuts to actually boost growth.
At hideous cost to taxpayers, the European Parliament moves out of Brussels to Strasbourg once a month or so. It even has its own train. No 10 Manchester emulates this pointless model. Sprinkling populism in the eyes of the people won’t solve the real problems of this country.
Shuffling the chairs on the deck won’t help Labour from sinking. We must bring back the #prosperity this country knew and deserves again and #London is at the heart of it. Pleased to write my first article for @conhome

Да си #българин зад граница значи да изгубиш едно от основните ти демократически права - правото на #глас 🗳️
Затова @millenniumbg настоява веднъж-завинаги да бъде въведен п��инципът за равенство на правата на българите, без значение къде са те 🇧🇬🇪🇺

Today we celebrate 141 years of the signing of The Preliminary Treaty of San Stafano which marks the end of the Russian-Ottoman war and the #liberationday of Bulgaria. It’s an honour to be descendants of people who saw #freedom and #Independence as values higher than life itself.
@BoykoBorissov threatens to withdraw support for @ManfredWeber due to #EPP pressure for #ViktoriaMarinova murder investigation and blames Bulgarians for bad-mouthing country abroad. Overreaction? Or is this an attempt to divert attention from EU funds corruption scandal?
@Dunja_Mijatovic Has @BoykoBorissov agreed to international supervision of the investigation of #ViktoriaMarinova’s murder? What is important is that the truth is revealed not just about her death, but also the abuse and corruption of Euro funds that she recently publicised.
@V_Andriukaitis, one of Bulgaria’s MEPs @djambazki took the floor at the EP and directly compared the #EU with the #USSR because of the sanctions on Orban’s government. Perhaps you could teach him a lesson too?
Dear @Jeremy_Hunt
I was born in Soviet gulag and been imprisoned by KGB a few times in my life.
Happy to brief you on the main differences between #EU and Soviet Union. And also why we escaped the #USSR
Anytime. Whatever helps.
@GeorgiGotev Wasn’t this where many European delegates stayed during the Bulgarian Presidency of the Council if the EU? It was certainly where the youth delegates had their vodka/dancers party. Does this make the Council and the youth delegates complicit in possible money laundering?
