A few welcome announcements in first @JohnHealey_MP budget, but delivering it 1 month ahead of last year's indicated likelihood of it being a "deferral budget"
So it proved to be, preferring to wait for Spending Review & after both Milburn & Timms reviews
Impressive @KemiBadenoch response to @JohnHealey_MP's budget & @UKLabour frontbench know it
Key takeaways from @OBR_UK
- Growth next y'r downgraded
- Inflation up every y'r to 2030
- Real household disposable income lower every y'r
- debt interest bill £14bn higher than expected
Many congratulations to @HKane on receiving the 2026 Men's Ballon d'Or
It's been a long 25-year wait since @themichaelowen was the last Englishman to win it
May this win for @HKane be the inspiration for so v many talented young English players working their way up in the game
The best player in the world.
Our 2026 #BallonDor winner: HARRY KANE! 🏴🏆
Good to see @Ipsos_in_the_UK polling data evidence @Conservatives in 2nd place to @UKLabour
This follows up on @YouGov 13.10 poll & @Moreincommon_ 14.10 poll evidencing the same
Polling for Lab in these 3 polls fluctuates wildly between 32% & 24%, but between 24% & 23% for Con

A great shame for all who've been preparing for what would have been London's Diwali on Trafalgar Square celebrations tomo
Clearly no prep work could have taken place in the Square today, which seemingly was essential? Tomo's forecast is sunshine for L'dn

Last night was the Conservatives’ best in a long time: four wins from five contests, three of them gains.
That takes them to 29 wins since May’s local elections, more than any other party (Reform 26, Labour 26, Lib Dems 24).

Crime in London has increased - it's not disinformation to be honest about that, even if some bad actors do just exist to talk our city down, says @EmmaBest22

Thanks to panellists & audience members for attending Wed's informative public meeting on Crime & Community Safety
It was reassuring to hear from @LambethMPS's Acting Supt that Streatham, alongside Vauxhall & Clapham, is set to receive greater police resourcing via tasking teams

A man watched a polar bear mother walk away from her weakest cub on the tundra. What happened over the next year changed both of their lives forever.

.@KemiBadenoch's speech on Tue showed why @Conservatives are the only party with a plan to reduce the UK deficit:
1. £70bn in savings identified, of which £36bn in welfare
2. >50% of savings to go towards paying down deficit
3. Cut UK taxes to get Britain working again
Go, Kemi!
Just one day after @YouGov poll also showing @Conservatives in 2nd place to @UKLabour and with @reformparty_uk relegated to 3rd place, it's good to see that order of things also replicated in this @Moreincommon_ poll, with its data also collected after @KemiBadenoch B'ham speech.
In PMQs Burnham praised Badenoch's conference speech criticism of some Reform politicians definition of Englishness.
We played that speech clip to half our sample. Among those who saw it
Badenoch's net favourability jumps 13 to +21
Farage's drops 11 to -35
Burnham's flat at +14

A wild leopard came to a farmer’s gate in the pouring rain, and she wouldn’t let him go until he followed her. What he found out in the bush changed both of their lives. A story about trust, courage and a friendship no one expected.
Great to see these figures from Sun & Mon survey data:
The first @YouGov poll showing @reformparty_uk in 3rd place since 2024
It will be good to see this @Conservatives momentum under @KemiBadenoch's impressive leadership continue to build
Go, Kemi! "It's the economy, stupid"

A stronger economy. Lower taxes. Secure borders. A country that rewards work, backs families and defends itself.
That is the Britain that the next Conservative government would build.
