Excellent Conference. Lots of ideas and great energy. @Conservatives @KCFConservative

[Kemi Badenoch @KemiBadenoch]

A government that doesn’t know what it believes will be buffeted by events and achieve little.

Britain has been heading in the wrong direction because governments keep treating symptoms rather than causes - often trying to correct problems they themselves created.

The Right Way is the Conservative answer to this challenge.

Great to hear James's views on Housing, Policing and Transport for our wonderful city! #cpc26 #London

[James Cleverly🇬🇧 @JamesCleverly]

Londoners deserve a safe, affordable city where they can buy a home, enjoy a great night out and raise a family.

Great to join @CPSThinkTank this morning to discuss how we make that happen.

[Kemi Badenoch @KemiBadenoch]

I’m building a new Conservative Party, with new policies and new people.

[Sof McVeigh @sofmcveigh]

South Ken meeting. I asked @josephpowell what he's doing to support local businesses after his National Insurance hike - a tax on jobs.
Also asked what's he doing about the huge council tax increase facing residents due to his Govs cuts to the council? #KENSINGTON @GregHammond66

[Sof McVeigh @sofmcveigh]

Catching up with the local police at their 'Coffee with a Copper'. Where residents can raise their concerns. Sign up for MetEngage #KENSINGTON #police @metpoliceuk

Fascinating afternoon helping go through Dad's papers. So many letters pre email!

[Louis Mosley @louismosley]

Palantir’s software helps the police catch criminal gangs, root out misconduct, and protect women from abusive partners. The Met Police wants this software to keep Londoners safe, but @SadiqKhan prefers sending political messages to Washington. Read my op-ed in @theLDNstandard ⬇️

With @KirstieMAllsopp of course!

Just brilliant. Kemi says it how it is. #conservative

[Kemi Badenoch @KemiBadenoch]

You may not agree with me, but you will always know where you stand with me.

Today in Billericay, a heckler tried to shout me down as I spoke about the normalisation of hatred towards Jews. I did not back down, because it needs to be said. British Jews are being targeted and too many people are pretending this is the same experience of other minorities. This lady implied Muslims are being similarly targeted. This is simply not true.

Let's be honest about what is happening. Certain groups (in particular but not solely Islamic Extremists) are creating a climate of fear and intimidation that is normalising Jew hatred. I will never stand for that. Governments have spent too long hand-wringing, making excuses and hoping it would go away. It is time to call this what it is: a national emergency in our attitude, our urgency and our response.

I will always engage with people who disagree with me. That is politics. But there is a difference between argument and intimidation. Shouting does not make a bad case good. It's done to silence others. And it certainly does not change the truth.

The truth is that British Jews have been made to feel less safe in their own country. Our country. They are being singled out, threatened and harassed in ways that should shame everyone in public life. If we do not stand up now and stop this rise in antisemitism, then why bother saying "Never Again" at Holocaust Memorial Day? Because this is how it starts.

I am not prepared to play along with the pretence that this is normal, or manageable, or just another example of tension between groups. It really is not. It is targeted hatred and it is getting worse.

So my message is simple. Not here. Not in Britain. And not on our watch. We need to stop the hand-wringing and start doing the right thing. That means standing with British Jews openly, unapologetically and without fear.

Tomorrow, vote for cheaper energy, safer streets, stronger high streets, a stronger economy, and a stronger country.

Vote Conservative and get Britain working again!

[Greg Hammond 🇺🇦 @GregHammond66]

Thanks to @griffitha MP for supporting @KCFConservative in Notting Hill today. Lots of support for our brilliant Pembridge ward team:
Georgia Hardisty ✖️
Natacha Tannous ✖️
to keep RBKC under @Conservatives control for top class local services and good value for money.

[Natacha Tannous @NatachaTannous]

#RBKC is central London’s only Conservative council — and it shows! Under Conservative leadership, Kensington & Chelsea delivers some of the best services anywhere in the capital, while still providing value for money for residents. We have:

• 𝐀 𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡-𝐰𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐦𝐢𝐭
• 𝐎𝐮𝐭𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐬𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐥𝐬
• 𝐂𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐝𝐫𝐞𝐧’𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐚𝐝𝐮𝐥𝐭 𝐬𝐨𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐜𝐞𝐬 rated among the very best by Ofsted and the Care Quality Commission

On May 7th, do not risk ⚠️ losing the services that make this borough such a great place to live 💙

Colour popping magnolias on the colourful streets of #Kensington! @rbkc #nottinghill

[Sof McVeigh @sofmcveigh]

Fantastic that the Council made this work. We 'Stepped up for Step-Free' @rbkc #SouthKensington

[Cllr Kim @cllrKTS]

Delighted to see our South Kensington Station included in the TfL Business Plan which following hard work, lobbying and the Council’s multi-million contribution, will now include the Piccadilly Line in step free access to ALL platforms @RBKC

[Cllr Cem Kemahli @CemKemahli]

Here in black and white is the impact on @RBKC , its residents and its local charities.

All being punished by the incompetents in Government and their local stooges @josephpowell and @ChelFulhamBen

[Cllr Cem Kemahli @CemKemahli]

What was an £82m black hole in our finances has increased to over £100m.

As a sleight of hand they’ve now lifted the council tax referendum.

Meaning the choice is to punish residents with inflation busting tax rises or drastically cut services.

[Cllr Cem Kemahli @CemKemahli]

After months of supposed lobbying, Inner London MPs including @josephpowell and @ChelFulhamBen have managed to make their boroughs worse off!

I know that when Labour negotiate the country loses - but I didn’t think they’d all be quite so able to make a bad situation worse.
