We’ve all heard a lot this week about the Prime Minister caving on welfare changes.

It's a complete shambles, and shows that he's lost control of his party.

But why is it so important for our economy?

.@greateranglia, I’m currently at Liv Street wanting to get home to Kelvedon. If I hired a taxi could it get reimbursed? Thank you!

[Priti Patel MP @pritipatel]

Shocking! Labour's candidate from Luton wants you to vote Reform as that's the only way she thinks she can win the Witham constituency. #LabourFriendsOfFarage

Voting Reform or anyone else would give her, Starmer and Labour a licence to increase taxes, destroy our countryside, impose pylons on local communities, open our borders to more illegal migration and they'd back the rights of criminals and foreign offenders.

I'm the only local candidate who will defend our countryside, stand up for our values, campaign for lower taxes and work to keep you safe and secure.

Former chancellor Nadhim Zahawi says there is "asymmetry" in the conflict and Israel must "lead the way in the creation of a viable Palestinian state"

My foreign policy speech
— the TL;DR version.

[Toby Williams @toby_williams]

Devastated to learn that my friend & former colleague Luke Mackenzie has died. A true one off, Luke was dedicated to public service.

A more generous & kind person you could not meet. He had much more to give & it’s a tragedy that he’s been taken so soon.

We’ll miss you Luke.

[Basildon Conservatives @BasildonTories]

We're deeply sad to announce the tragic passing of Luke Mackenzie following a short illness. Mayor of Basildon, Basildon Borough Cllr for Pitsea SE since 2018 & Essex County Cllr for Pitsea since 2021. Friend to many & a dedicated servant of Basildon. He'll be sorely missed.

Delighted that @BraintreeDC budget passed with no votes against. Grateful for the support of @GIGroup111 Leader Cllr Jo Beavis and 2 of her colleagues. The other half of the Group led by @JamesAbbott2013 abstained. 5 of the 11 Group members were absent. #norepresentation

From @michaelgove: Here are some of the achievements of the past 14 years. Do we really want to go back to square one? https://t.co/OICNhdvpSi

[Sir Greg Hands @GregHands]

Huge @Conservatives achievement since 2010.

[Cameron Smith @CameronSmithUK]

This is a conservative success story.

In 2010, renewables provided just 7% of our electricity.

Since then, they've grown six-fold, pushing fossil fuels rapidly down and nearly ending the use of coal for power (to happen in 2024).

Conservatives should talk about this more.

Huge congratulations to Sir Tim Martin on receiving a knighthood in the New Years Honours list - a tireless advocate for the pub, a fair tax regime for the sector and for the people - team and guests - who make it the heart of the community https://t.co/Fbrbra1n0Z

Under Labour, our education standards plummeted from:
➕ 8th to 27th in maths
📚 7th to 25th in reading
🧪 4th to 16th in science

Now, under the @Conservatives, we're up to 11th in maths, 13th in reading & 13th in science.

Every time Labour get power, education standards fall🥀

The choices @BorisJohnson faced as Prime Minister during Covid were next to impossible.

He got securing the vaccine right.

He got avoiding a lockdown at Christmas 2021 right.

He got lifting the restrictions in spring 2022 right, when Starmer said it would be a disaster.

Jews don’t count.

[David Cameron @David_Cameron]

The Prime Minister has asked me to serve as his Foreign Secretary and I have gladly accepted.

We are facing a daunting set of international challenges, including the war in Ukraine and the crisis in the Middle East. At this time of profound global change, it has rarely been more important for this country to stand by our allies, strengthen our partnerships and make sure our voice is heard.

While I have been out of front-line politics for the last seven years, I hope that my experience – as Conservative Leader for eleven years and Prime Minister for six – will assist me in helping the Prime Minister to meet these vital challenges.

Britain is a truly international country. Our people live all over the world and our businesses trade in every corner of the globe. Working to help ensure stability and security on the global stage is both essential and squarely in our national interest. International security is vital for our domestic security.

Though I may have disagreed with some individual decisions, it is clear to me that Rishi Sunak is a strong and capable Prime Minister, who is showing exemplary leadership at a difficult time. I want to help him to deliver the security and prosperity our country needs and be part of the strongest possible team that serves the United Kingdom and that can be presented to the country when the General Election is held.

I believe in public service. That is what first motivated me to get involved in politics in the 1980s, to work in government in the 1990s, become a Member of Parliament in the 2000s and put myself forward as Party Leader and Prime Minister.

The UK’s Foreign Office, our Diplomatic Service, our Intelligence Services and our Aid and Development capabilities are some of the finest assets of their kind anywhere in the world. I know from my time in office that they are staffed by brilliant, patriotic and hard-working people. They have been well led by James Cleverly, with whom I look forward to working in his vital new role.

It will be an honour to serve our country alongside our dedicated FCDO staff and provide the continued leadership and support that they deserve.

@joncraig Only 40!?

[Toby Williams @toby_williams]

Very best of luck to @FestAKINBUSOYE tonight - a great candidate who’ll make a brilliant MP for Mid Beds.

Great to be back on the doorstep supporting his campaign this morning!
