Rachel Reeves's deputy admits it - Labour are funding more benefits on the backs of students. The interest rate on student loans is a scam. But Labour would rather rip off hardworking graduates to pay for more welfare than fix it. That tells you everything about their priorities. Conservatives have clear plan: stop the student loan scam by cutting real interest rates on Plan 2 loans, saving graduates thousands. Find out more ⬇️ stopthestudentloanscam.com

These thugs fractured the spine of Sgt Kate Evans, who spoke in court of the medical and emotional trauma she still lives with. Prison is where they belong. Unlike Zack Polanski, I want serious consequences for anyone who attacks police officers risking their lives to protect us.
Gut wrenching to see four young people jailed for direct action against an arms supplier to Israel. Years in prison for protesting to save lives in Gaza, with 'terrorism' used despite no jury convicting them of it. A truly dangerous attack on the right to protest.

“The defence of our nation is the first duty of government.” It is. Your predecessor resigned yesterday because Keir Starmer wouldn’t fund it properly. We need to cut welfare to pay for defence.
The defence of our nation is the first duty of government. Our Armed Forces carry out that duty every day with professionalism, courage, and extraordinary skill. It is a huge honour and a privilege to serve alongside them again.

Addressing a packed @PropertymarkUK conference this morning. @Conservatives will ABOLISH Stamp Duty for primary residences and free up the market to deliver hundreds of thousands more homes. At a stroke it could increase house building by 25%. Lower taxes. More opportunity👇🏻

It's London Tech Week, and the Conservative team has been out meeting some of Britain's most dynamic tech companies and entrepreneurs. But too many of our best people and businesses are being driven abroad because Labour is getting the fundamentals wrong - on tax, energy, regulation and defence - while their envy politics treats successful people with suspicion. We worked in government to build a great tech ecosystem - the UK tech sector became the third largest in the world. We set up respected bodies like UKRI, ARIA and AISI, kept us out of cumbersome EU tech laws and got conditions right for an incredible talent pipeline of brilliant people that truly sustains the industry today. Right now in government, there is political paralysis with departments pulling in opposite directions. Our Shadow Cabinet is working together to give Britain’s companies the tools they need to win in a fiercely competitive world. If we lose the entrepreneurs, scientists and innovators that drive prosperity, politics will become little more than a fight over a shrinking pie.

We are living in an extremely dangerous world.
 But John Healey’s resignation letter revealed that Starmer and Reeves are refusing to properly fund our military. It’s time to cut welfare spending to fund our defence. @TomTugendhat

Starmer talks tough but fails to deliver.❌ His own MPs are telling him he must do more to protect our country, but he isn't listening.🚫 The PM has no plan and no backbone. 🔵 Only the Conservatives have a credible plan to shift cash out of welfare and into our defence, putting the national interest first.

These cases should never be heard. The immigration tribunal should be scrapped. Human rights laws swept away. And immigration decisions made by ministers should be final.

Defence keeps us safe and buys us influence. We have not spent nearly enough to shape our future and now accounting tricks are hiding the truth. There’s no increase in defence spending, that’s why we’re being pushed around.

The PM asked the Defence Secretary and Minister of the Armed Forces to preside over the death of the @RoyalNavy and they both said, “no”.

The resignations of the Defence Secretary and Armed Forces Minister confirm what I've being saying since last year, including at the London Defence Conference in April. We need to get serious. We need to rearm. The @Conservatives will cut welfare spending to fund our military.

Children with cancer and seriously ill patients should not lose access to vital medicines because HMRC has moved the goalposts. Pausing enforcement is not enough. Scrap the Cancer Drugs Tax.
New Health Secretary, James Murray, was a Treasury Minister when VAT bills started being issued on medicines given for free in clinical trials. So he’s now perfectly placed to put a stop to this craziness, which is seeing critical, innovative treatments pulled from sick adults and children. Well done to @drcarolinej for keeping the heat on Labour Ministers on the Cancer Drugs Tax with her Urgent Question today. As she says, ‘When hearing that “every meeting” with Labour MPs was about “who can we tax in order to pay benefits to others?” few would have imagined that that would include potentially lifesaving, charitably given drugs for sick adults and dying children.” We’ve been warning Ministers about this since October. After getting a pause, the issue is still not resolved, putting charities, patients and life sciences firms in limbo. If Labour is serious about putting patients first, they should Scrap the Cancer Drugs Tax.

Did you know the Government is reclaiming VAT on free drugs given to cancer patients? A tax on charitable cancer drugs? Yes, really!! Let me explain...

These resignations must be a wake up call for Starmer and Reeves. For months we’ve been saying Labour should move billions from welfare to defence - I hope they now think again. telegraph.co.uk/politics/202…

This morning, I’m speaking at @PropertymarkUK setting out the @Conservatives case for abolishing Stamp Duty on homes. Labour are failing our young people. We need to back aspiration and get Britain moving again.
