Identity politics divides our country whoever is doing it.
The Conservative Party rejects it.
We believe in universalism and equality under the law. We must not treat people differently on the basis of skin colour. We have to build faith and trust in our institutions.
If there is one thing that should come from Henry’s death, it is that we make things better, so that this does not happen to any of our boys again.
That is what I am committed to.
I do not want his death to be in vain.
Let’s do this for Henry. Let’s get this right.
Why do apparently intelligent people still praise Blair, who, while not starting stupid wars, breaking up the country, wrecking th constitution and politicisng the judiciary, savagely taxed the striving classes, deepened our debt and scrapped much of the Navy? https://t.co/MBV3HMtuEX via @DailyMail
This is actually bizarre yesterday big news young people aren't getting their first job, 2 weeks ago BBC report shows our high streets are filled with organised crime through mini marts & vape shops & yet Vape shops up & down the country can sponsor 'a skilled' overseas worker. We are literally punching ourselves in the face everyday.

I think this is where the word greatest gets muddled, you can obviously make a very strong argument that Steyn was a better bowler than Anderson for example, but in terms of greatness an extra 265 test wickets and a t20 World Cup feel like quite big things to ignore…
We need to make it quicker, easier, and cheaper to build on brownfield sites. Building good looking and good quality homes near jobs, transport hubs, and social infrastructure.
Last week, at @UK_CW I set out my plans to get local people involved at the beginning of the planning process rather than at the end.
That will mean better design, faster delivery and communities that trust development again.
It’s all too clear that a country in which Jews are attacked on the streets simply because they are Jewish, synagogues need to employ security, & anti-Semitic slogans & images are paraded through city centres or exhibited in art galleries is exactly what we’ve become.
Dropped wife at work, a few helicopters in the sky from when two Jewish men got stabbed earlier. Off to pick up kids from school that was scoped out most likely by a terrorist last week. On the way I’ll drive past two synagogues that have been firebombed. This is being a Jew in the UK in 2026.
And how would you prove this status to the state? Would you need to register it? Perhaps in front of an agent of the state? You would probably need a couple of witnesses to avoid fraud. Oh…
Oh I see you’ve joined the clickbait club too on this Zack. 🎟️
The real outrage? The Greens’ newest MP has bothered to speak just once since entering Parliament last month. Once. I’ve spoken 10 times in the same timeframe.
But Zack, I’d be happy to have a pint or (non-alcoholic one) with you any time to discuss rampant antisemitism in your party, your dangerous anti-NATO views or how your vibe based economics would bankrupt Britain.
Cheers! 🍻
