Minimum service level legislation wasn’t designed to block unions striking, but to keep people safe during strikes. Similar rules apply in other countries. Labour are prioritising their union paymasters over the public again👇

🥀 Scrapping infrastructure investment 🥀 Fiddling with fiscal rules 🥀 Rolling the pitch for tax rises 🥀 Lifting restrictions on strikes 🥀 Capitulating to bumper Union pay deals 🥀 Cancelling AI investment Labour so far doing a great job of driving growth… into the ground.

A ‘no strings’ deal means this will be paid for by passengers and tax payers. We have to make our railways more efficient - instead Labour has caved to the unions. Ditching working practice reforms leaves a hole in the finances that can only mean higher fares or higher taxes.

Despite what they may be trying to claim, Labour have inherited a growing and resilient economy. They must not jeopardise this growth by raising taxes.

Labour inherited from Conservatives: ✅ Fastest growth in the G7 ✅ Inflation back down to 2% target ✅ Unemployment near record low Sound economic policy starts with honesty not hyperbole.

A Labour Government of the unions, by the unions, for the unions. For the rest of us: more disruption, less safety, and higher costs. So much for “country first, party second”

When they wanted your vote, Labour said they would freeze and then bring down energy bills. Since then, they’ve taken winter energy support away from pensioners and energy bills are going up for everyone. They promise one thing, yet do another.

Today’s speech is Labour’s latest desperate attempt to dodge the blame for breaking their promises not to raise taxes. If you prioritise huge Trade Union payouts you run out of other people’s money. We will hold Labour accountable for its political choices & their consequences.

The Chancellor’s attempt to blame her economic inheritance on her decision to raise taxes - tax rises she had always planned - will not wash with the public. Reeves and Starmer have spent weeks talking down the economy, whilst simultaneously handing over billions in inflation

Another former Grantham resident, Sir Isaac Newton, once said that you ‘see further by standing on the shoulders of giants’. This act of removing the portrait of our first female Prime Minister is short sighted. Not even donor-funded spectacles can fix that.

No manifesto mandate ❌ No impact assessment ❌ No parliamentary vote ❌ Labour aren’t just withdrawing Winter Fuel Payments for 10 million pensioners, they are withholding accountability in the process.

During the election Labour made a clear promise to cut bills by £300. Instead, bills are going up and winter fuel payments are being scrapped.

We Conservatives believe in a property owning democracy where everyone has a stake in our economy. Labour’s apparent plan to abolish the Right to Buy scheme is both anti-aspirational and contradictory.

The Chancellor is making a political choice to punish pensioners, while giving bumper pay rises to appease Labour’s trade union donors. On behalf of millions of pensioners set to lose out across the country, we will continue to hold the Labour Government to account on this 👇

We stood by pensioners with the Triple Lock, raising the State Pension by £900 earlier this year. Labour are not just abandoning pensioners by cutting their Winter Fuel Payments, but everyone else by disowning its pledge to lower bills by £300.

Last year our pioneering Global Investment Summit secured £29.5bn in new investment for the UK’s growth industries. With a follow-up summit scheduled for next month, it is essential that the new Government urgently appoints an Investment Minister.

The Chancellor Rachel Reeves won’t rule out moving the goalposts by manipulating fiscal rules. Yesterday Labour MPs voted to allow this to happen without any independent scrutiny. Labour economic irresponsibility always has the same result – a larger deficit and more debt.
