@BarryGardiner
I 100% support the principles of the protests and movement but encouraging people to attend mass gatherings is plain stupid. Its not something one should expect from someone in the public eye.
It’s now easier than ever to find a racist/sexist/bigot to block, look at the
#MeghanMarkle
hashtag and they’ll be hundreds shouting vulgar language at a woman they don’t know and have never met
After being undecided on who I should vote for, one thing has been clear; we need a Prime Minister who has a plan to tackle inflation and deal with the cost of living crisis.
The truth is, the only candidate who I can see doing that is
@RishiSunak
#Ready4Rishi
@Ready4Rishi
After heavy thought, I’ve decided to back
@BorisJohnson
to be our next PM. We need a leader who believes in Britain and the opportunities of Brexit. That leader is Boris.
@BackBoris
#BackBoris
Absolutely thrilled to have been invited to the QE2 to see the announcement of
#LizTruss
as Leader of the Conservatives and our new PM.
Time to unite behind our new leader & tackle the big challenges ahead 💪
I’m backing Penny to deliver on our manifesto commitments and deliver for the UK.
We need fresh leadership that can unite our country and party.
#PM4PM
Just imagine turning a perfectly legitimate reason to protest (Injustice against ethnic minorities) into hating ALL police, whom many have dedicated their entire lives to protect you & your families, especially during this awful pandemic.
One thing that has been abundantly clear with the leadership hustings is that
@IainDale
is an outstanding interviewer and broadcaster. His hard work and dedication has certainly been noticed. Legend.
#Hustings
The left: The NHS will not cope with this pandemic. THERE ISN’T ENOUGH BEDS
The Government: Okay, that’s a reasonable point, let’s create the Nightingale hospitals to make sure the NHS can cope
The left: WE HAVE TOO MANY BEDS HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO US?! HOW DARE YOU PREPARE!
People cannot hug their grandparents.
People cannot go to the pub & enjoy a pint.
People cannot attend mass gatherings but they’re now apparently allowed?
I 100% support the
#BLM
movement but let’s not be irresponsible and risk so many lives!
#ControlTheVirus
#SaveLives
Fantastic to have our local MP, Jonathan Lord, who joined the local team in talking to residents, listening to their concerns and getting their voice heard!
#Byfleet

@10DowningStreet
Make it mandatory. I work in a supermarket & it’s impossible to keep ANY safe distance between workers and customers. You say it makes it safer, so bloody enforce it!
This is nothing short of a disgrace. In
#WestByfleet
our local sub-postmistress was wrongly convicted.
Ed Davey should not only apologise but also return his knighthood.
EXCL: In his first in-depth interview, Sir Ed Davey refuses to apologise for his part in the Horizon scandal.
When asked more than 10 times, he says he “regrets” being lied to on an “industrial scale”, but won’t go as far as to say “sorry”.
Great to meet Education Secretary
@JamesCleverly
this evening - lots of challenges ahead for the country and more things to consider on who I will vote for ahead of the
#ToryLeadershipContest
I was honoured to represent
#Byfleet
and
#WestByfleet
at the lighting of the Jubilee Beacon in Woking. A great way to kickstart the weekend of celebrations!
London’s police should come from London. But
@SadiqKhan
made that impossible.
He ended the residency requirement. Now most officers live outside London and trust in police is at a low.
I’ll bring it back to improve trust between officers and communities
Genuinely hoping that
@BorisJohnson
makes a safe and fast recovery. Also thoughts to
@carriesymonds
who must be going through an incredible amount of stress whilst pregnant.
This isn’t a time for party politics but for
#Hope
Delighted and honoured to be elected as the Deputy Chairman Political of
@WokingCons
at our AGM.
Lots to do in the next year & I’m looking forward to stepping up to the challenges ahead with the team.
After the recent local elections, I would like to think that Surrey MPs are thinking very carefully whether they want to take the chance of having a Truss premiership.
#PutPennyOnTheBallot
Lovely to join the national "Big Help Out Day" along with 57 volunteers and 8 organisers, taking part in a morning litter pick in
#Byfleet
. Fantastic that we collected 30 bags of litter! ♻️
Thank you to all the volunteers and organisers!
I am delighted to be apart of this team.
I’m looking forward to holding the new administration to account and ensuring that the Council’s bold environmental ambitions are met🌳
SHADOW EXECUTIVE 2022/2023
We are very proud to announce our team for the year 2022/2023. This is an incredibly strong group that will absolutely hold the
#Woking
Lib Dem administration to account. They have made promises to residents, we will ensure they stick by them.
I am delighted that Penny is running to be our leader and our next PM.
We need someone that will unite our country and party. That person is
@PennyMordaunt
!
I’ve been encouraged by support from colleagues who want a fresh start, a united party and leadership in the national interest.
I’m running to be the leader of the Conservative Party and your Prime Minister - to unite our country, deliver our pledges and win the next GE.
#PM4PM
Before you vote, remind yourself about the ‘man of the people’ Jeremy Corbyn:
- Went to private preparatory school
- Earns £143k+ a year (5X the wage of average worker)
- £3mil networth
- £1.6mil pension (18X average UK pension)
- Has a house 3X national average price
#GE2019
It’s strange to see someone wear a face mask, gloves and protective eyewear in a shop only to buy cigarettes, which will inevitably cause immense damage to their health and most probably the health of those that are close to them.
I am honoured that the people of Byfleet and West Byfleet have put their faith in me to represent them at Woking Borough Council. The hard work starts now!
Genuinely gutted that
@PennyMordaunt
has left government. A principled lady who fought and defended our armed forces and had it in her blood.
#cabinetreshuffle
. No doubt she will continue her excellent work as a backbench MP!
I’m calling it now that within the next year the UK will be hit by a big cyber attack from China. It’s time we invest heavily in cyber security to protect our great nation 🇬🇧
The real shameful story is how many journalists like
@piersmorgan
set out to get a few viral ‘gotcha’ clips and attempt to spread depression and fear across the nation.
*NEW COLUMN*
Breathless bullish*tter Boris can boast about his ‘successful' coronavirus war all he wants, but Britain’s horrendous death toll tells the real shameful story.
Lots of misinformation online about water sewage.
Pleased that
@Conservatives
voted in favour to place legally binding targets to protect our environment.
No surprise that some opposition voted against & trying to play party politics.
NEW: LBC’s
@IainDale
quits radio to run for Westminster.
The 61yo unsuccessfully contested North Norfolk for Conservatives in 2005.
He was chief of staff to David Davis in leadership campaign against David Cameron.
He’s been broadcasting on LBC since 2010.
@KEdge23
> “Gutted to see a divided party”
> Makes statement and says that MPs “deserve to lose their seats”.
If you’re so gutted, why not try and heal divisions rather than make them worse??
