Our first executive meeting of the new Salford, Worsley and Eccles Conservatives Federation.

Ten years ago I contacted David Cameron about creating the position of Mayor of Greater Manchester.. Andy Burnham.

Spot on from ⁦Andy Burnham⁩. We also need an assembly with more powers to come from Westminster. If each region had an assembly, the assembly members could also sit in a national senate replacing Lords. Just like Germany. theguardian.com/politics/2023/…

A wild one at football. Turned into a rugby match. Vinnie Jones would be proud 🤣🤣🤣😝😝😝

Another weekend of campaigning in Bolton and across Greater Manchester. #election2023 🇬🇧

Meet future PC Harry! Harry has had a truly awful time recently, and when we heard how much he loves his new Christmas present, an electric Police bike, we had to pay him a visit!

Harry professionally led us round his street in full uniform. 👏

Reckon we bring Wayne Rooney on for 2 mins if we get in the final. Winners medal is a winners medal! #sirwayne

Time for a general election. Fresh mandate from the public during these immense challenges.

First it was Boris as the new Berlusconi, now we are apparently looking for a Draghi. Glad we have gone full Italy - presumably with our own Georgia Meloni inbound The Rest Is Politics

Public protection spending will have to match lockdown. When temperatures drop people are going to face immense hardships. We must do far more to help wider society.

Today I am remembering PC Keith Blakelock QGM.
Murdered on duty on this day in 1985.
Rest peacefully mighty man.

The problems aren’t easy to solve, but we should be prioritising the people who need help the most. It’s not good enough.

The Sun says Liz Truss is about to u-turn.

Out today speaking to residents with Chris Green and Bolton Conservatives. Starting early for 2023 👍🇬🇧

Entirely self-inflicted wound, forcing the BoE to restart the printing presses to bail out pension funds which were falling over this morning....
