Our party must now listen to the British public’s message to us so that we can reflect & rebuild.

This is tragic. Not only will beloved schools close across our country under Labour. That will put untold pressure on the state sector.
I am a teacher in the state sector, & I find this policy pernicious & utterly counterproductive.
I think we’ve now found out why Keir Starmer doesn’t want regular debates.

The problem with this argument is that there isn't an excessive amount of cheap alternatives in the private jet market...
I've just searched Tesco value range. Nothing.
I get that David Cameron may need to charter a plane when travelling to multiple countries in one week, but that does not justify spending hundreds of thousands of pounds at taxpayers' expense to hire one of the most luxurious private jets on the market.
We don’t need a repeat of Gordon Brown’s pensions raid in the 2000s. We don’t need a repeat of Labour’s brain drain in the 1970s.

We and others MUST keep the pressure on.

This week: “Yes - I go private for my teeth.”

Local people have spoken. Lambeth Cllrs of all parties must listen.
We don’t want a temporary suspension of the Streatham Wells LTN. It must be permanent.
We will continue to keep the pressure on.
You can pretend the threat of a Labour government doesn’t affect parents’ decisions if you wish, but the evidence suggests otherwise.
Labour don’t actually care about burdening state schools, as long as there’s red meat for the spiteful hard left.
This is tragic. Not only will beloved schools close across our country under Labour. That will put untold pressure on the state sector.

A super Saturday out campaigning across South London with teams in Croydon, Streatham & Bromley!

Only a political class that has no understanding of private business would think that the withdrawal of Business Property Relief is a bright idea.
Owner-managed businesses are the lifeblood of UK plc. They pay for our public services. Don’t destroy them.
Labour’s policy to introduce the only tax on education in Europe is poisonous.
A lot of these parents will be squeezing everything to get their children with SEN here. Now these kids are facing change & disruption to satiate Labour’s hard left.
I am very grateful to have been selected as the

I look forward to working hard and fighting for every person in this new constituency - whoever they are, and whatever their background.
It is clear that Lambeth Cllrs haven’t learnt a thing from the Streatham Wells LTN debacle.
They are going to cut off a lane after the mayoral election & reintroduce the local traffic nightmare LTN after the general election.
People aren’t stupid. We must keep the pressure on.
Labour’s manifesto promises tax rises. As Wes Streeting confirmed recently, that isn’t the sum total of their tax & spend policy.

The number of signatures gained by local business people affected by Labour’s Streatham Wells LTN surprised even me. I’ve just been to collect some here!
Thank you again to so many members of the community who helped put pressure on this, with us and with other local groups!
I know we’re not feeling it in our pockets yet after the double shock of Covid and war in Ukraine, but our recovery is at stake.
A vote for any other party lets Labour do to Britain what they’ve done to Croydon, Lambeth, Wales & anywhere else they’ve been in power.
Out of all the risks of a Labour government, this is the gravest.
They would surrender our energy security & sell out to our adversaries for a gimmick policy to appeal to their most extremist supporters. This would have an unparalleled impact on our welfare & security.
A hell of a long way for us to go in a fortnight, but it’s getting closer as Labour’s vote declines again.
People were always likely to think more concretely about the dangers of a Labour govt closer to the date.
Time to find that kitchen sink…
In the 1970s, Labour tried to tax us ‘until the pips squeak’, & they empowered militant union bosses. We ended up going to the IMF for a bailout & graves weren’t dug for the deceased.
It didn’t work then. It won’t work now.
Don’t let it happen. Vote Conservative.
#GE2024

Great to be campaigning with some of the team tonight!
As the election date gets closer, an increasing number of people we’re speaking to are getting rightly nervous about a Labour government.
We’ve got to do everything we can to stop that happening.
We must listen to people.
Ambulance drivers. Bus drivers & passengers. School children. Teachers. The elderly & vulnerable. Small business owners. Charities.
They don't want meaningless tweaks.
Sign here to end the Streatham Wells LTN madness now:
LTNs (low traffic neighbourhoods) are blocking ambulances from getting to where they need to be.
I am listening to Londoners and will do all I can to help councils remove unwanted LTNs. Tell me if there's an LTN you want removed 👇
The deficit always comes down with the Conservatives & always goes up under Labour.
Except during Covid lockdowns, which cost £100s of billions.
Every time restrictions on wealth creators were lifted, the Left opposed the move & played politics. They can’t be trusted.
Since I was selected, our local team has stood up for people from all walks of life who have been let down by current & recent representation in Streatham & Croydon North.
I know it’s an uphill battle here, but I will continue to work solidly to earn your trust.

The fact that the Streatham Wells LTN suspension is only temporary is exasperating for local people, including small business owners who have been so negatively affected. They cannot be allowed to bring it back.
Make this LTN suspension permanent now.
Streatham BID Business LTN Survey results are published in the latest version of the Heart Streatham magazine -
The feedback is pretty damming on LTNs, with nearly 60% saying sales or revenue decreased, and 90% said access to their business by customers

Despite recent good news on the Streatham Wells LTN, people are wary of the fact that the change isn’t permanent.
We will continue to hold Labour to account, working with local people & community groups.
Labour would sacrifice our energy security & force higher bills on everyone.
Industry is against it, unions are against it, bill payers will suffer. They’d import dirtier energy & lay off thousands of workers.
This is ideological zealotry.

In 2010, literacy was poor. We now have the best readers in the Western world.

Don’t let them wreck it. Vote Conservative.
#GE2024
Under the Conservatives, aspiration & opportunity are no longer the sole reserve of the wealthy, as they were in England & are in Wales under Labour.
Labour have nothing to add to the debate. We must keep the fight alive for widening access & raising standards for all children.
The rankings don't lie.
Every time Labour have had power, education standards have plummeted.
Instead of sniping from the sidelines with meaningless rhetoric, Labour should fix their own broken education system in Wales.
I’m proud to support our brilliant Council candidate for the by-election in Streatham C&V on 2 May: Promise Phillips.
