Zia, your party fought your local election campaign on a promise to cut council tax.
Every single one of the councils that you run is putting council tax up!
If you what to see duplicity look in the mirror.

Over 17,000 @Prosper_UK_ supporters in just two weeks! And only about 1 in 3 voted Conservative in 2024 -proof there are lots of people with centre-right views who the party should be targeting me if it wants to recover. If *you* want pragmatic pro-growth politics, sign up 👇We are reaching well beyond the usual political base, including people who have never voted Conservative or who have not voted Conservative in recent years. People from different backgrounds and voting histories are coming together around growth, enterprise, jobs and

So it is no secret I am not exactly on the right of the Tory Party but this was a well crafted speech from @KemiBadenoch + it gave voice to a Conservative narrative that has been missing from British politics for a while. It isn’t filled by Reform or the Liberals. Well done KemiThe next Conservative government will abolish stamp duty on your home. Because Britain should be a country where people who wish to own their own home, can.

The past week at #CPC24 I spent my time championing a moderate, inclusive brand of Conservatism. One that focuses on real societal issues, not ideology.

Fascinating to see the disconnect between the political commentatariat and the public when it comes to judging which candidate delivered the most convincing conference speech. Tory MPs should take note.

Great to see my friend Alicia backing Tom Tugendhat.The world is more dangerous than it’s ever been. We don’t just need a safe pair of hands, we need a leader who stands by their convictions, can navigate the complexities of governing, and will keep our country safe. As Conservatives we need to bring back integrity, competence

Life in totalitarian #NorthKorea was survival. I begged for food, witnessed public executions and saw fellow inmates being killed in underground cells. It's why I’m supporting @TomTugendhat, who stands up and fights against the regimes of Iran, Putin, Xi & Kim. Serve. Lead. Act.
