2023 has been a year of pride and achievement.
But for too many, it's been another tough year financially and a time of insecurity internationally.

Let's make this the year we get Britain’s future back.
Hateful Antisemitic and Islamophobic abuse has absolutely no place in our Party or in wider society. The abhorrent email that has been sent to some members purporting to support me has absolutely nothing to do with me or my campaign (1/3)

When will the Conservatives stop PR exercise?
Cares are the back bone to the community’s needs and if the council cannot relief them from their 24 hour caring duties, they should at least get paid for their services & not only offering them free tickets.

I wish to thank our Army Forces, Doctors, Nurses and all Key workers across the country who are working on a Christmas day. Thank you for your service.

I support a full investigation into its origin. I have always steadfastly opposed Antisemitism and always will. I have seen first hand the damage and hurt inflicted by its poisonous ideas. It must be driven out of Kensington, our Party, and society. (2/3)

Across the UK, Black, Asian and ethnic minority-led small businesses are bristling with potential.
But they're held back by the Conservatives' economic chaos.
