And if you don’t like these principles I do have others….
There is nothing socialist about a system of free movement that is used by multi-nationals to undermine wages. WATCH my Brexit speech today.

Halleluja Kemi!
Higher inflation isn’t just driving up prices, it’s increasing the benefits bill. Either way, it’s working households who end up picking up the tab. Conservatives will cut the benefits bill, protect those who need help and get Britain working again.

This is why in one great clip the BBC is doomed. Don’t worry- like blockbusters we will read about them in the history books!
The BBC are truly awful When Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May were flying high with Top Gear The BBC tried to replace one of them with an "Ethnic Minority Presenter" for diversity reasons

Too good not to share!
BREAKING: Robert Jenrick defects to Labour, citing a lifelong admiration for its economic policies and a sudden, overwhelming sense of ideological alignment. Sources close to him strongly deny that the move has anything to do with Reform plummeting in the polls.

Robert had an easy out here but he chose not to go for it…… that bed must be really uncomfortable.
‘Is calling Kemi Badenoch a “Nigerian scammer” racist, yes or no?’ ‘…I’m not on your show to talk about what a journalist has tweeted.’ Reform's Robert Jenrick refuses to engage with @Lewis_Goodall's question about Raheem Kassam's comments on the Tory leader.

Dumb and deceitful- Andy Burnham !
This is yet another example of Burnham’s foot in mouth syndrome. He hasn’t thought this through or the implications. Most people who voted for Brexit did so because they didn’t want free movement. Too many politicians have failed to understand the significance and impact of immigration on communities. We have had more than enough experience of what happens when politicians (including previous Conservative governments) promise control but fail to deliver it. The answer is to learn from those mistakes, not reopen free movement.

Simple. Hammer the farmers- no farmers!
No farmers. No food. Tell Labour to Axe the Family Farm Tax at the budget.

Andy Burnham says he wants to be honest with the British public about his views on the future of the UKs relations with the EU. He wasn’t with his own people in Makerfield during the by-election. Why should he treat us any differently.

Yep! How about stopping supermarkets from ever changing where products are placed ….. surely got to be Andy’s next priority! Then there’s that irritating advert on you tube before you get to see the programme you want to watch! Then he could ensure the plastic film over your “ready meal” has enough spare film on the edges so you can more easily peel it off! can you think of an Andy “changes the world” policy that you think he will prioritise over, amongst many others , stopping the boats, controlling spending, cutting borrowing and incentivising growth?

Great gains yesterday by Kemi’s Conservatives!
Three by-election results in England last night, and all three were big gains by the Conservatives: across the North, the Midlands, and the South.
