Andrew Griffith at #cpc26 calls the Labour government "bad people". I'm sure most people are just sick of this sort of yah-boo politics. #Tories #c4news

💡 Research question sparked by #CPC26 party shop.

🚨 With 'Margaret Thatcher: Life After Downing Street', I've started work on Lady T's post-premiership, and I've got my thoughts in order on Sir John Major's.

🤔 So whose 'Life After Downing Street' should I start on next?

The #Conservatives really fucking hate trees eh?

As for that Andrew Griffith character, a truly wretched twat and presumably just one scandal away from a defection to #ReformUK. #CPC26

🔷 It's been a busy day in Birmingham for #CPC26 - talking about the key issues facing small firms.

We've had lots of productive discussions, including with Leader of the Opposition Kemi Badenoch and Shadow Chancellor Andrew Griffith, on rates, energy costs, and the future of high streets 👇

🤦🏻‍♂️ Taken over by talking and writing about Stanley Baldwin, we managed to miss the @toryreformgroup.bsky.social #CPC26 session on 'Restoring One Nation'.

🤷🏻‍♂️ Kind of fitting, if ironic, no?

🎨 We decided on the Lorna May Wadsworth tote bag for #CPC26 on the grounds that 'An Iron Lady The Legacy Paintings' is a collection of Margaret Thatcher portraits we like very much.

Is the hall lighting particularly bad or has Rich Holden not seen sunlight since the election? #CPC26

All political careers end in failure. One day you're MP for a Somerset constituency with a 20k majority, the next you're doing a live report on GB News about an AI generated tapestry #CPC26

The Tories, who regularly get misty-eyed about "England's green and pleasant land" are now proposing to scrap the Environment Agency and Natural England so as to remove 'red tape' for their developer friends. Truly the Despicable Party.

At their party conference, Conservatives have pledged to scrap Natural England & the Environment Agency, back Heathrow’s third runway and ease housing and Net Zero rules.

Kemi Badenoch says deregulation will boost growth, with the party claiming it could cut new-home prices by up to £50,000. #CPC26
