2024 & 2019 Conservative Parliamentary Candidate. Personal capacity.
Milton Keynes
Joined October 2013
I voted to Remain, I campaigned to Remain. But I am a Democrat first. We need to be brave enough to tell that story. Retweet if you agree. @Conservatives @CamdenTories #brexit

Wow. Just TWO MONTHS AGO, Keir Starmer pushed Rishi about the injustice of taking Winter Fuel Payments away from Pensioners at PMQs. Turns out @RishiSunak calling Labour out for not supporting Pensioners was right. Can't believe a word from Labour. I fear tax rises will come

I got married to my best friend Diane earlier this month! Super low key, very casual on a Monday morning ~ we will have a larger party later; but we just couldn’t wait any longer to call each other husband and wife. Very happy. #married

This was one of the hardest video I had to make. The debate yesterday was awful & sad. We are either against all forms of racism or we are not. @UKLabour have lost their moral compass and I’m more determined than ever to stop them. Who is with me? @CamdenTories @Conservatives

This is such a self inflicted own goal by Labour, causing disruption to children, parents and school leaders at both private and state schools. As well as wasting energy of officials on a clearly ideological decision.

This is an absolutely dreadful and intentionally inflammatory speech. I urge all Conservatives to condemn it.
Suella Braverman’s speech in Washington this evening contains a blistering attack on pro-LGBT Tories. She says the pride (progress) flag has been flown on govt buildings as if marking “occupied territory”, accusing Tory colleagues of supporting a “horrible political campaign”

I think I have triggered some leftwing trolls, many with Labour Member on their bios. The bile they come up with is just sad, attacking my ethnicity, whether I live in MK (I obviously do) or even whether the placard display is at my mum's house (it's not, but good idea!)

Labour’s manifesto specifically criticises early release. Let the u-turns begin?.
Excl: Keir Starmer expected to authorise emergency measures this week to automatically release criminals less than halfway through their sentence. It'll be the first step designed to get to grips with the prisons crisis, with fewer than 700 spaces left in men's jails:.

Completely agree with @Jeremy_Hunt ; Labour won’t fool anyone with their nonsense claim of the worst inheritance since WW2. Labour campaigned on a one word slogan of ‘change’ with zero substance and are now scrambling to get their sums to add up. I fear we need to brace ourselves

I responded on behalf of the Government from the Despatch Box in an important debate on diversity and inclusion. As the first MP and Minister of British-Chinese heritage, this is an important topic for me, for our Armed Forces and for society as a whole.

Painful to watch. Starmer campaigned for Jeremy Corbyn to be PM for years, serving as a loyal lieutenant in his shadow cabinet. Voters haven't forgotten. It's either poor judgment, no principles or perhaps both.
"When you told voters in 2017 and 2019 that Jeremy Corbyn, a man that called Hamas friends should be PM, did you mean it?" - @BethRigby. Labour Leader @Keir_Starmer says 'between 2017 and 2019, the Labour Party lost its way'. #PoliticsHub 📺 Sky 501

It hurts to read this. I can reliably say, having knocked on 7,000 doors in a defending marginal seat, top of the list on why historic Conservative voters were leaving us was due to Liz Truss hurting our economic reputation. To rebuild, we must learn the right lessons. This is.
EXCLUSIVE @Telegraph: Liz Truss has blamed the scale of the Conservatives’ general election defeat on a decision by Rishi Sunak to “trash my record”

Starmer himself said he needed to win in Harlow. And he has failed to do so despite throwing the kitchen sink at it. Congratulations to @HarlowTories.

Theresa May at least had the guts to put something unpopular in the manifesto. Starmer cynically hid their true intentions and then sprung attacks on businesses, farmers and pensioners on the electorate post election, which is causing massive damage to public trust in politics.
No Keir Starmer won a landslide majority Theresa May lost hers.
