The uniparty is dead, a truly Conservative speech makes the divide with Labour very clear.
‘I am so pleased at a Conservative leader, making a Conservative speech!’

To all those worried about the state of conservative politics, Kemi Badenoch’s “Right Way” manifesto will be greatly reassuring. Here is a genuine conservative who believes in freedom, in tradition, and above all, in her country and wants Britain to be its best self. I read this with growing confidence that a restored and renewed Conservative Party can make Britain the great country the wider world needs it to be
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.

Delighted to be part of this panel discussion on the changed political landscape. @joymorrissey @Jacob_Rees_Mogg @Giordano__Ant #cpc26
Great to speak with @Jacob_Rees_Mogg, Caroline Inge, Federal Vice-President of the Liberal Party of Australia, and @Giordano__Ant, Secretary General of the ECR Party, about how we should respond to the rise of different political parties in our respective countries.
Kemi’s launch of the Right Way yesterday and our Conservative principles underpinning policy is the way to win back voters, particularly more women.

This is utterly obscene.
We have to be clear that this is not the kind of society we are.
Using a child in pornography, or even the suggestion of it, is just sickening.
If we are serious about protecting children from sexual harm, it starts way before the line this crosses.
Bonnie Blue is now using her newborn baby in the preamble videos to her pornography films.
Social services need to be involved.

Emma, when that mini-Budget was announced, you were Managing Director of TheCityUK, which welcomed it, saying it took ‘bold action to create the conditions for economic growth’.
You weren’t an MP, but your Labour colleagues at the time were calling for even MORE spending.
And as my successor as City Minister, you cheered as Rachel Reeves torched jobs, hurt farmers, attacked independent education and damaged businesses.
The lesson for is that all decisions must be forensically costed, with detailed ‘how-to’ plans to back them up. As a private sector finance director for 11 years, that is second nature to me and will be how the new Conservative Economic Unit will operate.
The new Shadow Chancellor backed Liz Truss to be PM and he was a Treasury Minister during the Tories disastrous 2022 mini budget which left families paying the price. Same old Tories, same old economic policies.

WATCH: @RobertJenrick - now under investigation by the police for his donations - confirming he doesn’t have the courage to hold a by-election in Newark.
Just like his boss he is mired in scandal, and running scared from accountability.
