As we gear up for the 2024 General Election, British politics is undergoing a shift. With Labour's growing momentum and housing concerns rising, I have provided some thoughts on how parties must adapt and connect with voters across generations.

Theresa Villiers who bought her house for £296,500 in 2004 and is now worth over a £1 million says she doesn't know anyone impacted by the housing crisis. Which is surprising, given almost 1 in 3 voters polled by @Savanta_UK said housing was an important issue for them. (1/2)

Great question, Tom. A shame very little clarity was offered. In 2019 we correctly promised to build 300,000 new homes each year. It's utterly bizarre we now appear to be openly attacking our own policy. When it comes to housing, our messaging is all over the place.

When it comes to housing, the Canadian Conservatives *really* get it. Our two parties face similar challenges, one is committing turbocharging housebuilding, the other has scrapped mandatory housing targets and seemingly making it difficult to build the new homes we need.

Why do you insist on grouping us all together? Let's stop pretending that LGB (sexual identity) and T (gender identity) are the same entity, they're not and we're not- and no, this isn't about erasing trans people.

Alicia Kearns's virtue signalling is interupted by Neale Hanvey, who talks about his differing views & being subject to horrific bullying Ms Kearns angrily asserts "You DO NOT remove the T - u are suggesting trans people do not exist & trans ppl stood with gay ppl at Stonewall"

Whilst the pressure builds on the government to cut inheritance tax, a reminder that some graduates face a marginal tax rate of 55%. If there is room for tax cuts before the next election, these should be targeted towards the younger generations. ✅️

55pc graduate tax rate is fuelling ‘economic malaise’, Tories warned

High marginal rates of tax crushing incentives to work, Treasury Committee told

This photo makes me SO proud to be a member of the modern Conservative party. It doesn't matter who you are or where you're from. The only thing that matters is where you're going to and how much work you're prepared to put in 💙

🗣Great speech from @SimonClarkeMP on housing supply last night, worth a listen. Refreshing to see politicians across the political spectrum making the positive case for house building. 🏡🏗👷‍♂️

My speech in last night’s debate on housing supply. We should: 🎯 restore targets 🟠 create a new “amber” belt 🌊 tackle nutrient neutrality by focusing on actual polluters ✈️ curb immigration 🏡 build beautifully 🏥 ensure the right infrastructure

NatWest Group Chairman Sir Howard Davies tells the Today Programme: “I don’t think it’s that difficult to buy a house.” Laughable really. Living on another planet. Utterly blind to this country’s severe housing shortage.

Ask any prospective Tory MP who their political idol is and this lady is likely to come up. She may not have got everything right but it goes to show her profound influence on our country and party. Baroness Margaret Thatcher 13 October 1925- 8 April 2013.

This is such a non-story. Unlike Party Conference @Conservatives Spring Forum has been set up as an internal training event. Talk about making a mountain out of a molehill. 🤦‍♂️

Media outlets have been barred from the Spring conference. Very unusual. As long as I have been in the lobby, media outlets have attended the Conservative Spring conference

But we're not talking about building on countryside land. Of course green spaces should be protected. Here are just *some* parcels of land designated as green belt. Politicians on all sides, need to stop politicising this, it is incredibly disingenuous.

And that's a wrap! Back in London after a jam-packed Conservative Party Conference. Lovely to catch up with some familiar faces over the last couple of days (and meet some new ones too!) Will post some reflections in the next few days but first, sleep 😴 #CPC22

We seriously need to change this mentality. We are not going to win back disillusioned young professionals with this anti growth rhetoric. We need to get back to championing aspiration and homeownership. This is nothing to celebrate. 👇 @NextGenTories
