In Much Wenlock with Paul and Dan from Madeleys, discussing SFI (Sustainable Farming Incentive) and Tuesday’s six-hour window. This is simply unacceptable. The Government must rethink its approach and reopen SFI. I’ll continue to press Ministers on this. What are your thoughts?

Top priority of any Government defence of the realm and safety of the citizens. Labours approach to this 😡 Labour frees sex crime suspects to ease prison crisis telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/09…

How can we ensure that defence has finance available to innovate and scale? This was the subject of discussions at the latest Defence Connect roundtable. We must look at increasing opportunities for defence SMEs to secure funding across the range of options.

Why hound then through the courts then 🤦‍♂️

Seems odd, when your government appears so determined to destroy them.

Labour has let in more illegal immigrants since the election than the entire strength of the British Army 83,279 in total Including over a thousand across Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday this week alone It’s time for a different approach - leave the ECHR and deport all illegal immigrants instead of accommodating them

Andy Burnham thinks we should keep spending more and more on benefits rather than defending our country. I think he’s wrong. We need to put British people first and make sure taxpayers’ money is spent responsibly. What do you think?

It’s taxpayers’ money. Well said @Helen_Whately.

Those who can work, should work. That’s why the next Conservative Government will cut benefits for those who refuse to get back to work and introduce a “Back to Work” card restricting what they can spend benefits on, saving taxpayers £538 million a year.

RT @wallaceme: I cheered when, after @bbcnickrobinson l suggested now that this was “telling people how to spend their own money”, @Helen_W…

Are Britain's armed forces adequately structured and funded to deter and defeat a peer-to-peer state adversary? We have entered an era of global competition, where counter-insurgency is yesterday's war and we face hostile action from powerful adversaries.

Great plan and as @kemibadenoch has said if you can work you should work. Badenoch: We’ll block jobless from spending benefits on alcohol telegraph.co.uk/politics/202…

What an occasion the Rifles Gala was the other day. It was great to attend with Sarah and present awards to so many fantastic people. Swift and bold. @rifles

Chagos chaos latest - Labour are all over the place on this critical issue. So I’ve written to the Defence Secretary for an explanation👇

Simple 💪

Chagos chaos latest - hold on, Labour have u-turned again. Burnham told Trump he’s ‘reviewing’ Starmer’s crazy Chagos deal. But just now on @TimesRadio Defence Secretary Wes Streeting confirms the deal is still on. Has the review concluded already or are Labour making it up as they go along? Shambles.

SFI UPDATE: Labour’s changes risk putting farmer against farmer and creating more uncertainty for rural communities. If you farm in the constituency, tell me how the changes are affecting you. I’ll raise your concerns directly with DEFRA.

The Lib Dems are more dangerous than you think.

Chagos chaos latest - Labour defence minister @LukePollard was asked on @TimesRadio if spending £35bn of taxpayers money is a “good use” of the defence budget. His answer: ‘it is’. Truly extraordinary.

🚨 Labour have lost control of our public finances. They are borrowing so much that they’ve overshot the OBR forecast by £8 BILLION! It takes a rare fiscal incontinence to have both the highest tax take in history and see borrowing shoot up to the equivalent of £100,000 for every household in Britain. We Conservatives will make the tough choices on welfare and public spending to get Britain’s finances back under control.
