Just a reminder for all Conservative councillors attending the NCAS Conference that our group meeting takes place in Room 1C at the Liverpool Experience Campus.

From @Katie_Lam_MP Burnham's devolution is just a power grab conservativehome.com/2026/11/11/kat…

At 11am, we’ll pause for two minutes to remember those who served, those who sacrificed, and all those who never came home.

Wherever you are in Westminster, we invite you to join us in a moment of reflection.

We will remember them.

The Lib Dems on Somerset Council spent £100,000 on renting road closure signs, for two years.

That's more than it would have cost to just fix the road.

James is bang on. This kind of nonsense happens way too often, and people are right to be fed up of it.

Shabir Ahmed, the ringleader of the Rochdale grooming gang, spent 14 years in prison for his horrific crimes.

The maximum sentence for avoiding Labour's holiday tax? 14 years.

It sounds too insane to be true - but it is.

🔵A massive welcome to Cllr Ashley Monk of Worcestershire, our newest Conservative Councillor👏👏👏redditchconservatives.org.uk/news/cllr-ashl…

Six months ago Westminster put its trust in a Conservative administration. On Wednesday 11 November, Full Council meets: a joint motion that Zionism is not racism, six months of delivery, and Labour’s £100m cut.

Great to see so many of our Conservative member peers at the @LGAcomms Member Peer Conference. Thank you for all the work that you do throughout the year to support sector-led improvement.

This councillor represents the most deprived ward in Birmingham.

It has one of the worst child poverty rates in the country. Just 4 in 10 people are employed.

And yet he's focused on events in the Middle East - which Birmingham City Council can do absolutely nothing about.

Good to be over in Warwickshire for a couple of days attending the @LGAcomms LGA Member Peer Conference.
Looking forward to the sessions and catching up with colleagues and friends.
@LGACons

If a hotelier refuses to implement Angela Rayner's holiday tax, they could face 14 YEARS in prison.

That's the same amount of time that Shabir Ahmed, the ringleader of the Rochdale grooming gang, spent behind bars.

Everything about this is completely despicable.

Picture of every Chiswick councillor that voted to withdraw @LBofHounslow's bungled plans to bring C9 onto the pavement last night.

Alongside @JoannaBiddolph I proposed a vote calling on the Council to withdraw the proposals. Only @ConservativeLBH councillors voted in favour.

This weekend we hosted our first module of the 2026/2027 LGA Conservatives Next Generation programme covering communications, the media, securing authentic Conservative policy in local government, effective whipping and political leadership.

Labour’s new Planning and Infrastructure Act means fewer planning applications decided by local councillors from today and more powers over house building in the hands of unelected bureaucrats.

These changes will leave residents feeling increasingly powerless over decisions change the places they call home.

Local democracy is clearly inconvenient for Labour politicians. @andyburnham has promised more powers for local people. Instead, this @UKLabour Government is taking them away.

Today the PM was served with over 1500 letters from Cons Cllrs calling for the National Scheme of Delegation for planning to be repealed and I’m pleased to say I was one of them. The government is dictating what applications are decided at planning committee is simply wrong!
