It is always a privilege to be able to take part in the @PoppyLegion appeal and help give thanks to all those who have served to defend our country. Wonderful to see people's generosity year after year. We will remember them.
Deeply saddened by the death of HRH The Duchess of Kent. She touched the lives of and inspired countless young people in Yorkshire and beyond; she will be greatly missed. May she Rest in Peace and Rise in Glory.
Thank you to all the firefighters and the farmers and volunteers who have stepped up to help and been working so hard to control the devastating Langdale Moor fire. All those affected by the fire, please stay safe.
🚨 Langdale Moor Fire
Briefed today by Fire Director Peter Lee. Due to unexploded munitions, crews are using firebreaks, helicopters & drones. Extra assets (incl. military) on standby.
💧 Rain this weekend may help.
🌱 I’ve raised concerns on restricting cool burning - vital for wildfire prevention.

🙏 Thanks to our local fire services.
We asked people at Danby Agricultural Show today to rate how the Prime Minister is doing.
Fair to say the people of North Yorkshire don't particularly rate his work so far!
Most migrants can get Indefinite Leave to Remain after 5 years.
It means they can stay here forever. And claim welfare, social housing and free healthcare.
Millions of recent migrants didn’t come to work. Giving them ILR will cost us hundreds of billions. We mustn’t do it.
I am honoured to have been appointed Chairman of the Conservative Party. I want to pay tribute to my predecessors, Nigel Huddleston and Lord (Dominic) Johnson, whose dedication and hard work have laid the foundations for the future. Their efforts in navigating challenging times and advancing our Conservative cause will not be forgotten.
Politics is about making a positive difference, but it’s also a communications business. As Chairman, my focus will be on working with our entire Conservative family - MPs, MSs, MSPs, councillors, activists, and members - towards one goal: electing more Conservatives at every level.
We will champion the values and policies that matter to the public: aspiration, responsibility, opportunity and national pride. We will proudly promote Kemi Badenoch’s true Conservative agenda, combining these strong principles and values with sound financial discipline.
We will stay firmly rooted in the real concerns of the British people while avoiding easy slogans, unaffordable pledges or short-term gimmicks. The Conservatives are unashamedly on the side of Britain’s makers, people that work hard, do the right thing and want to get on in life.
This is a time for unity, clarity, and ambition. Let’s get to work.
Today, on #ArmedForcesDay, we come together to honour the incredible service and sacrifice of our Armed Forces community - past and present. Armed Forces Day is a powerful reminder of the courage, dedication, and resilience of our servicemen and women, reservists, veterans, and their families.
The bleedin’ obvious, perhaps, but @ukonward research confirms that high immigration drives higher rents:
“the impact of net migration on rents is approximately an additional £132 per month in England” and “£216 per month in London” https://t.co/49XcHIGnCO
BREAKING: Our exclusive polling reveals Rachel Reeves' net favourability has plummeted by -20 points among business owners and -33% points among those looking to start a business. Britain is heading in the wrong direction.
It's not often that I comment on politics in Hull and East Yorks anymore. My uni days are well behind me. But I will say this - the region couldn't ask for a better champion than Anne Handley. An incredible woman who's in politics for all the right reasons https://t.co/y1pJMr3UnW
Getting my steps in this morning with @John_Belsey to support Rob Waltham to be Mayor of Greater Lincolnshire and re-elect our Conservative County Councillors! Rob is the only candidate with a track record of delivery and will stand up for our rural communities!
Beautiful photos of Scarborough featured in the Daily Mail earlier this month. They say they are from the town's glory days, but I am convinced the best is yet to come!
