Labour is promising to spend so much money, as Boris puts it ... Labour always leaves office having crashed the economy, only this time they’re planning to start office by crashing it.... 🔴 Clear message - Don’t let Labour get it’s hands on our country’s finances

The last 18 months have seen the biggest erosion of our freedoms in living memory, with arbitrary controls over our lives. The establishment seemed to get drunk on that excessive power & control. It’s time the government restored its belief in freedom.

This needs to be investigated now, not after the General Election 👇🏼

Big story. Presumably the Electoral Commission are now investigating? @PaulBrandITV @BBCNormanS @BethRigby

Over the weekend I’ve received lots of emails - all saying the same thing - trust in our politicians is at an all time low with many using the phrase Brexit betrayal. Here’s an article I wrote last week exactly on this point. #PoliticiansWakeUp #trust

The Minister has promised to write to me with a detailed answer to this question. ‘We were told the first lockdown was required to provide time to build capacity in the NHS. So can the Minister let us know how many more hospital beds are available now compared to March last yr?’

The Radio 4 Any Questions audience gasped when I said that everyone who had voted for lockdown had responsibility for the economic situation we are now in. As far as I am concerned, that is a fact, not a controversial opinion. Full article 👇🏼

Pro-lockdown MPs can’t deny the huge costs of their actions

Rishi Sunak and the Tories are the only party, post-pandemic, taking responsibility and getting the economy and country back on track

Unbelievable discussion... The chance for those in ‘power’ to give ‘power’ to the people is now. The Brexit vote goes to the heart of that. People voted to be given control over their laws, borders and money. So let’s stop talking about it and deliver it.

Over 155,000 people have now put their names to a petition calling for Hs2 to be scrapped. As I keep saying it’s time to put this very expensive white elephant out of its misery. HS2 must go. Our focus needs to be on good local transport & reliable internet connections for all.

Surely now is the time to put an end to Hs2 & put the money into High speed broadband & IT infrastructure for the whole country. Never has HS2 been more irrelevant & internet connectivity more relevant. 🎧 listen to @MarrShow

The public politician relationship is based on trust so failing to live up to our word &the EU referendum result risks irretrievably losing the public’s trust. It’s dangerous times for democracy and I don’t think some of our colleague have grasped that

Fair point - why hasn’t this story had greater coverage? Is it because it’s good news and our media & politicians are intent on delivering a daily diet of despair? Come on, give us a break, be balanced and report a bit more on the positive things that are happening too.

I’m proud of our national flag - can everyone leave it alone & keep it just as it is. British Airways tried to change it many years ago - what a massive mistake that was just as it is now with our British Olympic Association trying to tamper with it.

Powerful piece by @andreajenkyns on the BBC ‘Maybe a name change is in order from Auntie…to ‘anti’ free speech (Unless you agree with their views), ‘anti’-common sense and ‘anti’-quated. It is time to bring this national treasure into the 21st Century.’

Why BBC bringing in licence fee for over 75s is utterly ludicrous

The BBC has been an ever-present feature of British life for nearly a hundred years. Over that time, it has famously gained the affectionate nickname ‘Auntie', supposedly after the expression ‘Auntie...

It’s trade not aid that gets countries out of poverty & now we’re no longer in the EU we should be working to secure trade agreements with poorer countries, helping them to develop industry and trade their way out of poverty. @Telegraph 👇🏼
