Theresa May’s clear plan for a smooth and orderly Brexit


Theresa May has a plan for Brexit and beyond. #VoteConservative on 8 June for strong, stable leadership in the national interest. pic.twitter.com/fNeUUWkpCl — Conservatives (@Conservatives) June 3, 2017 Our manifesto explains: The United Kingdom is embarking upon another era in our centuries-old story. We are leaving the European Union. We want to ensure our departure is smooth and orderly and to agree a deep and special partnership with the 27 remaining member states. In leaving the European Union, we have […]

Conservatives are committed to reducing homelessness


Post Image

Labour opponents list rising homelessness in their allegations against Conservatives. The truth is that homelessness has risen in the last seven years but to nowhere near its peak under Labour. FullFact.org have made available an analysis here and, fact checking PMQs here, they write: Statutory homelessness is much more than 10% below the peak reached under Labour, as our chart above suggests. New cases are running 57% below the level of 2003/04, when 135,000 households were accepted by councils as entitled […]

Just 11 days after the election, EU negotiations start: who do you want negotiating?


Post Image

Just 11 days after the General Election, the EU will start Brexit negotiations with the UK. These negotiations will determine our place in the world and the basis of our prosperity for generations to come. Theresa May is ready to lead our country through the Brexit negotiations. Jeremy Corbyn is not – he isn’t up to the job. We need to enter negotiations with our European partners with strong and stable leadership under Theresa May – not a weak government under the […]

There’s no better system to promote prosperity than the free market


Post Image

[This article originally appeared on Facebook. The links and references have been modified slightly to suit appearing on this site.] When I read the comments on my last postings on Facebook, I could see just how angry people are with free markets and capitalism. I was particularly struck by the question, “Where’s the compassion?” Compassion is the driving force which makes us want to give to those in need. To have something to give, someone must first produce. A good […]

Conservatives will govern from the mainstream in the interests of ordinary working families


Post Image

[This article was originally posted on Facebook.] As Theresa May said when she first became prime minister, the work of the government under her leadership will be driven not for the benefit of a privileged few but by the interests of ordinary, working families: people who have a job but do not always have job security; people who own their own home but worry about paying the mortgage; people who can just about manage but worry about the cost of […]

Why I am inspired by the Conservative Manifesto


Post Image

[This article was originally published on Facebook.] I am inspired and excited by Theresa May’s manifesto. And that is not something I thought I would ever write. Political manifestos are rarely read, especially by the voting public, and usually quickly dissected for their most controversial content by the media, ignoring the big story, the vision, ideas and practical actions which will drive what we do to serve the public for five years. News needs controversy; good news rarely gets a […]

The Conservative Manifesto and the type of country we want to be


Post Image

This election is about the type of country we want to be. We can keep going forward with the Conservatives, and build a country where those who work hard and do the right thing can enjoy a good life. Or we can go back to square one with Labour, who would put our economy and our future at risk with their plans for more borrowing, more debt and more taxes. The Conservative Manifesto is now available here (PDF). David Cameron […]

For those who say our health plans were not clear from our manifesto


Before our manifesto was published, a draft appeared, chapter by chapter. Our plans for health appeared first and in some detail. I embedded the document in this website and it is still available online. Here it is: Open publication – Free publishing – More nhs One of the tragedies of the election is that it was not, in practice, the first Internet election. Had it been, the many detailed documents the Party produced might have been read…

Our Armed Forces manifesto


Post Image

I am pleased to see the launch of our armed forces manifesto: David Cameron and Dr Liam Fox have launched the Conservative Party’s Armed Forces Manifesto. “Our Forces sacrifice and risk so much to do their duty by us”, David Cameron said. “The least we can do in return is to do our duty by them.” “So if elected, a Conservative government will work from day one to improve the lives of everyone in our Forces. And it will work […]
