A straight forward and well spoken person, doing a brilliant job as Minister for Security.
Interesting hearing about his views of what Conservatism means for the individual. Thank you for a great night!

@warwicktories
here in Solihull the other day! Great to meet the team and thanks for your help along the campaign. 👊
Solihull Conservatives hosted our first ‘Diwali Dinner’ with special guest Mayor Andy Street.
It was a fantastic evening with delicious food and great entertainment to celebrate the festival of Diwali.
Brilliant atmosphere all around.

It’s been an incredible campaign. The result is how it is, we must rebuild trust and that will take time.
It was fantastic seeing St George’s parade in Shirley over the weekend, an incredible event and great to take part.
“There'll always be an England,
And England shall be free
If England means as much to you
As England means to me.“
Happy St George’s Day! 🏴
Delighted to join
@yvonne_clements
to support her in
#Yardley
for her Campaign Launch!
Only the Conservatives can be trusted protecting public libraries, after Lab Brum Council bankruptcy.
She'd make an incredible MP, with fantastic ideas to bring to the table. Best of luck! 💪
BRILLIANT WORK accomplished in Shirley with Prish at the helm. - Sorting the roads, removing the graffiti, and cleaning our parks!
The campaign is never-ending and the support is thoroughly enjoyed which we are grateful for. Always see a positive response when talking to people.
Great week of Campaigning in

today.
First out delivering leaflets across
#Elmdon
and later canvassing with a positive response.
Residents delighted to hear Saqib’s petition for A&E at Solihull Hospital - sign here! 👇
🤯 Accept a 22% pay rise (above inflation) and open the floodgates for others to come.
🥀 Same Old Labour - Playing to the demands of the Unions. Who really runs the country? 🤔
🚨 BREAKING: GPs in England have voted to strike over funding for the first time in 60 years
More than 8,500 GPs took part in the ballot and 98.3% voted in favour
This could see GPs limit the amount of patients they see each day to 25
Fantastic delivery session this morning with
@PrishSharma1
, whilst on our route we encountered some Bollards which had been reported by the local community and were delighted to find that they have been fixed! - Our Local Conservative team is working all day round for Shirley!
Fantastic support tonight. - Loads of comments on the incredible work done by Prish & Co. Much more still to be done! - Ensure you vote on May 2nd supporting candidates like Prish 👏
Mid week campaign in

Also reported some issues f fly tipping while in the area
@18DanielJM
Brilliant connect calling this afternoon for Andrew! The beauty of it is I can sit in my room in my dressing gown, but it doesn’t make for the best picture 😂 - Some great support as always as we get into the by-election next month!
FANTASTIC DAY supporting Young Conservative candidate
@kamren_grant
during his campaign across
#SmithsWood
. - OVER 250 delivered!
Kamren is dedicated to Smith's Wood, living their his entire life. He is committed to cleaning up the local area and being a voice for the community.
I'm not one to comment on party's leaflets but for the Greens in Shirley West..
I've found a leaflet which has been developed atrociously. The lack of anything substantive & the lies of them working all year.
For every Green leaflet, 4 Conservative leaflets have been posted.
Enjoyed our first litter-picking session around Green Lane Park last night. Many thanks to those who joined, loads of rubbish collected but still lots more to do! 👊
Whilst the Conservative Party are talking about who uses what bathroom: Labour are talking about national defence. It's not the image you want to portray.
Saying that - Starmer stood hand-in-hand behind Jeremy Corbyn: He is not the man to be trusted on national defence.
This 👇
The Conservative Party has to think very carefully about the type of campaign it wants to run, and the longer term impact of stoking culture wars.
It is clear that voters are rejecting the politics of division. We must not run on “wedge issues” for a narrow core voter base alone
Delighted to have attended hustings events across Meriden & Solihull East and Solihull West & Shirley.
Not only does it enhance my A Level Politics - but was a fantastic way to engage with the candidates.
Felt both Neil Hurst & Saqib Bhatti edged it! Some well spoken people.
There’s been a fantastic team out this weekend & beyond! Come rain or shine Solihull Conservatives are putting the message directly to the people.
A vote for anything other than Saqib or Neil is a vote for:
👉 Higher Taxes
👉 The closure of Police Station
👉 More wait on an A&E
Absolutely very fruitful weekend, a lots being delivered over these two days !👏🏻 amazing volunteers and seasoned campaigners get together to maken it happen for our brilliant
@bhatti_saqib
@DrNShastriHurst
who are committed to deliver the best for wider communities
@18DannyJM
Fantastic work - the community starts at the grassroots level, with Local Councillors sitting down to speak with their residents.
Great British democracy in action.
Brilliant work Prish, keep the flag flying high for Shirley West! 👏🏻
Public service must be more than doing a job efficiently and honestly. It must be a complete dedication to the people and wider Society.
During my Cllr Surgery, felt so satisfied and grateful to serve wider community and supported for best results to all who came to see me.
Say what you want about Southgate, he’s been one of the most successful English managers in our history. That should be acknowledged.
Wasn’t to be, but our time will come.
The Polls are now open!
Andy Street is the BEST open for the West Midlands without doubt. His record speaks for itself.
Don’t let the region down due to Westminster Politics. Put the West Midlands first.
Today you get to decide which individual leads the WM as its Mayor 🫵🏻
It has been the honour of a lifetime serving as your Mayor, and I believe we’ve achieved so much together 👏🏻
But there’s still more to do, & I need your support to deliver my ambitious, fully-funded plans 🗳️
'We do have dedicated police officers who are scouring social media to look for this material, and then follow up with arrests.'
The director of public prosecutions of England and Wales warns that sharing online material of riots could be an offence
Should Sunak resign, no. Should he move forward for an election date, yes. - Will he?🤷♂️
It's a real shame, I know people within the Party who wished for Andy to lose as puts pressure onto Sunak.
Resigning before the GE is pointless, fight it out, then the party can decide.
Doing my Part to look after our communities and our neighbourhood. Graffiti cleanup sorted today at Cole Green & Brook Close
Graffiti is a form of vandalism that damages property, causes public safety issues And it Damage local businesses. Needs to Stop 🛑
What an incredible way to end an equally incredible evening.
It was a privilege to be in the audience and meet Nigel & Roy! - Fantastic people with great careers.
Onto that: Andy did incredibly well, you can analyse Reform's impact or the Independent's impact all-day long but it shan't change the result.
On the day it wasn't enough. The West Midlands has lost a great Mayor and will feel that in years to come.
I wish him the best.
My fellow Democrats, I have decided not to accept the nomination and to focus all my energies on my duties as President for the remainder of my term. My very first decision as the party nominee in 2020 was to pick Kamala Harris as my Vice President. And it’s been the best
We're in Hermitage Road after receiving a number of calls about a large gathering.
We're there making sure everyone stays safe until the numbers disperse.
There was a separate gathering in Solihull town centre earlier this evening. This passed off without any incident.
Just goes to show, Vote Reform = Get Labour. - The same data can be used for the West Midlands.
@andy4wm
has a proven track-record in the West Midlands of unequivocally getting things done.
Don’t make the mistake of voting Reform and ending up with a lacklustre region.
The lack of a candidate from Reform UK could make a difference in a close election.
Tees Valley Mayoral Election VI, Reform UK Likely Voters*
Ben Houchen, Conservative 44%
Chris McEwan, Labour 6%
Simon Thornley, Liberal Democrat 5%
Don't Know 45%
*Note: Small subsample.
Labour are going to realise very quick that people won’t take nicely to the constant blame game.
You won’t be able to get away with the line of “worst economy” for long. - Rewriting history.
Liam Byrne left us “no money” we left you the fastest growing economy in the G7. 😉
The Conservatives left us with the worst inheritance since the Second World War.
Today I will set out how this new Labour government will fix the foundations of our economy, so we can rebuild Britain and make every part of our country better off.
