Fantastic to listen to @JamesCleverly today. Since these @Conservatives hustings lots of members have told me they’re switching to JC. He’s a solid communicator and his personality shines through. So I’m not surprised he received the biggest and the longest standing ovation.

Thank you to our Police for everything you’re doing to protect our communities. The recent disorder in Britain is staggering, and my thoughts are with the victims caught up in such senseless violence. Everyone involved - whoever they are - must face the full force of the law.

The weather may be miserable this morning, but it was beautiful yesterday chatting to people at Disco-licious in Gravenhurst. Thanks to Disco-licious for hosting me and to everybody who stopped to say hello.

Having grown up on a farm I know how important it is to support our farmers & #BuyBritish . Farmers are countryside stewards & by supporting our rural economy we create local jobs, stronger communities, and a sustainable future. #BackBritishFarmingDay

Working age people need aspirational policies on tax, housing, and family, and these policy ideas should be part of @Conservatives plans👇

@NextGenTories in addition to eye watering marginal rates for strivers, personal tax rules are so fiendishly complex that an army of accountants is required to help file tax returns. I recall at one time HMRC proclaiming that ‘tax doesn’t have to be taxing’. Well, it is now!

Younger generations have less wealth but pay more tax. Tax cuts for the young and working can boost growth and support generational fairness.
