For decades successive Labour & Conservative governments have favoured big business and big cities over towns, villages and family businesses. We can see the damage done to our economy and society all around us. Vote @reformparty_uk : Join @reformparty_uk reformparty.uk/membership

Its not all that often that @JeevunSandher [MP for the long suffering folk of #Loughborough] hits the national headlines. But he has now, thanks to @GHWTowler, but not in a particularly good way.

Our poor old #rural areas are about to get clobbered again by this Labour government.
British farmers and rural workers face staggering ยฃ5,000 bills for work pickups under a weight-based vehicle tax being weighed up by the Treasury.

You can't simply turn infrastructure projects on and off. The workers and companies need a steady flow of work to remain in business, remain competitive and remain ready to tackle the big projects when they come. This Labour govt doesn't understand that, @reformparty_uk do.
On Friday I attended the Peoples Zone event for young people at @BeaumontLeysUK shopping centre. My thanks to all at @LeicsPCC who worked to make this event such a success despite the weather. @AAAFoundation1

Slipped quietly onto the bottom of the Sky News feed on a Friday evening: former Tory Campaign Director Anthony Lee, his wife Laura, and an ex-party staffer handed suspended sentences after using insider knowledge on the election date to attempt to pocket ยฃ23,000+ through rigged bets.
Notice how the establishment apparatus handles real corruption. High-ranking Conservative officials abusing government secrets for personal financial gain get a soft-touch suspended sentence and a discreet, late-night media burial.
Meanwhile, look at the contrast with Reform UK. Mainstream media outlets deploy undercover operatives, obsessively hound minor local activists, and demand immediate police scrutiny or political execution over every minor comment made by Reform staff and members.
If a Reform candidate had abused insider state intelligence to clear ยฃ23k in a gambling scheme, it would be leading the 10 o'clock news for a month and driving national headlines. When the Tory establishment literally cheats the system, it gets brushed under the rug on a Friday night.
Two-tier justice. Two-tier media. Two-tier Britain.

The penultimate time I met my good friend Simon Richards @simplysimontfa before his tragically early death was at this cafe in #Birmingham. So Iโve popped in for tea&cake in his memory. A great man who left us far too early.
In #Birmingham on business & I happen upon this fine statue of #Nelson. Good to see an informative board beside it for the benefit of those not fully appreciative of this great man.
