It might sound impossible but the UK will very soon have lasers that shoot down missiles & drones at the speed of light.

How? Because we’ve reformed military procurement to speed up projects that could’ve taken decades, to urgently get the new weapons we need to defend Britain.

The men and women who have served in our Armed Forces represent the very best of us.

We must serve them as they have served us.

Which is why we are making it easier for our veterans to secure high-skilled jobs.

A treat to end the day at #Sedgley Conservatives Club in #Dudley with Marco Longhi MP, @tom4pcc and loads of our fantastic local councillors and candidates

Lovely to see a thriving traditional Conservative Club and I really enjoyed meeting Marco’s brilliant local team

It’s all…

A message from our Chairman Richard Holden MP for all those celebrating Eid 🌙

For too long an atmosphere of intimidation has been used to silence those who raised the alarm.

Wes Streeting MP said we should just get over it.

Where's the explanation and apology?

Thanks to the hard work of NHS staff, today's stats show we are continuing to make progress on waiting lists.

This represents the biggest 5-month fall in over 10 years outside the pandemic.

Much more to do but we will stick to our plan to cut waiting lists.

The Armed Forces can’t and won’t be intimidated.

Those inside Ministry of Defence 🇬🇧 stand up to dictators & terrorists every day - patriots, many of whom put their lives at risk to protect us all.

Those targeting us today are the opposite, cowardly criminals who I’m glad to see arrested.

To all those who steal from our high street shops and abuse retail staff – you won’t get away with it.

A full thread on action we're taking 👇

I’m proud of Department for Work and Pensions investigators and Crown Prosecution Service for taking down this organised crime group who stole millions.

In 2022/23 we stopped £18 billion of taxpayers’ cash going into the wrong hands.

We are clamping down on fraud and putting fairness at the heart of our welfare system.

We're delivering the biggest ever funding boost for local road improvements, made possible by reallocated HS2 funding - part of our plan to improve local transport.

Councils have already received their first payments of this cash, so we've checked to see how they're doing 👇

A successful high street means a successful economy

We're taking action to tackle retail crime with...

🚨 New offence for assaulting shop workers
👮‍♂️ Equipping police forces with facial recognition
🚫Banning shoplifters from stores

Eid Mubarak to Muslims celebrating across the UK 🌙

Eid Mubarak to everyone celebrating at home and around the world. We wish you a joyful day 🌙 ✨

Today Labour have announced plans to ‘tackle tax dodgers’…

Conservatives: Cutting taxes.

Labour:

The UK is a world-leader in cutting emissions.

Can you notice the pattern? 🤔

Today, the basic state pension will increase by £900 as part of the Triple Lock guarantee.

We will always back British pensioners.

Today we’re uprating the State Pension by 8.5 per cent meaning pensioners will be £900 better off.

This comes on top of last year’s 10.1 per cent increase and our commitment to the Triple Lock.

Only the Conservatives are on the side of British pensioners.
