We now live in a country where something that has never been taxed is now called a tax break. The UK; highest levels of tax, crumbling public services, absent and inadequate infrastructure. The UK under Labour; closed for business and we’ll all be poorer for it.
On 1 January, the 20% VAT break for private school fees will come to an end, enabling better investment in state education and helping to recruit 6,500 new teachers. Find out more by clicking the graphic below 👇

Thank you Andrew for your dedication and leadership over the many years of selfless service you have given to our Party. Your vision and message chimed with our membership and you are right to highlight that without our membership we cease to be a Party.
With deep regret, I have today resigned as Leader of the Welsh Conservative Senedd Group. Read my letter below.

25yrs on the Senedd will continue to fail the people of Wales. The institution, regardless of who governs it cannot deliver the best for Wales. Under Labour we’re in free fall. Only the Conservatives can and must protect our Union. #ScrapTheSenedd

Everything Labour said a “Welsh Assembly” would achieve has failed to materialise. The Senedd continues to fail the people of Wales. The fact 800k patients in Wales are waiting to see a consultant demonstrates Wales needs the United Kingdom not more separatism. #ScrapTheSenedd

Jane was a hardworking and committed councillor who represented her community and City with distinction. I’ll remember our chats (and frequent political disagreements) with fondnesses. Thoughts and prayers are with Jane’s family and friends at this acutely sad time.
Cardiff is mourning the loss of its esteemed Lord Mayor, Cllr Jane Henshaw, who passed away peacefully, surrounded by family this weekend. More here:

Devolution under Labour has been a disaster and Wales has gone into reverse since the establishment of the Senedd. If there was a vote to abolish the Senedd I’d be joining the overwhelming majority of Party members and increasing numbers of the public in voting to abolish.
Arrived at the Vale of Glamorgan Show! 👨🌾 It’s always important to find out people’s views, so we’re holding a (unscientific) poll! Come down to the Vale Conservative stand to have your say!

Using the truly horrific events in Southport as a smoke screen for such criminality is abhorrent. These aren’t ’protesters’. These are rioters and must face the full force of the law, as should anyone who engages in behaviour of this kind.
🚨 NEW: Protesters have stormed the Holiday Inn Express in Rotherham where illegal migrants are being housed

I can’t help but question whether a contributing factor to Vaughan’s downfall was the fact his own colleagues could not accept he won. There were errors of judgment, no laws were broken; it should have been the public who decided Vaughan’s fate as FM not disgruntled Labour MSs.
I have taken the difficult decision to start the process of stepping down as Prif Weinidog. It has been the honour of my life to do this job, but it has also been the most challenging time, for me, and my family. I have always acted to serve Wales, and that will never stop.
