It was a huge honour to be invited by the PM to his reception for International Women’s Day today. I believe I delivered on my manifesto to bring sunshine on a rainy day. ‘Where there is rain, let me bring my colourful umbrella’.

I categorically deny the allegation against me. Nothing was ever put to me formally ten years ago. Nor seven years ago when the allegation was alluded to. No investigation has ever taken

Homeowners. You worked hard for your property. Don’t sleepwalk into taxes that might have an impact on what you’ve built up. Inheritance tax, stamp duty, CGT…it’s all in play with a Labour government. If that’s what you want, fine. If it isn’t, vote Conservative.

He implies such horror when he says ‘and some of them are Tories’, as if being a Conservative - that is, believing in choice, freedoms and personal responsibility - is somehow sinister. Conservative views are not only mainstream - they are held by the majority of the population

Don’t forget that this scrappage scheme is funded by Londoners. This money comes from Londoners’ taxes. Londoners are funding this, just so the Mayor doesn’t lose face by having to back down. Scrap the ULEZ expansion, not perfectly good cars and vans

Sir Keir Starmer: Pro-trans laws are needed across UK ‘despite warnings that doing so would impact on women’s rights and enable predatory men to access single sex spaces’. So, throwing women’s safety under a bus.

How has it come to this? I think because polite folk don’t relish discussing biology of this sort on a public platform. Unfortunately, if we want to keep women safe from predatory men (who may use trans for access), we have to. And we need the the good men to stand up for us too.

Twitter and the media is awash with lies, half truths and misconceptions about the state of UK rivers, sewage overflows and water privatisation.
It's a complicated topic, it's going to be a long 🧵
But here’s a question though. Do men in leadership positions get told they have ‘a cheek’ when making inconvenient but necessary points and standing up for others?
