@TikTokSupport Why have you removed a video of my speech in the House of Commons on protecting women’s sport? How does telling the truth and standing up for women violate your community guidelines?

I repeatedly warned Labour that this would happen if they forced through nationalisation when I was shadow transport minister.
They did it anyway
This is on them

“Worsening delays after nationalisation”, eh?
Labour MPs summon rail bosses over worsening delays after nationalisation

🚨 NEW: Labour adopt @Conservatives bus and coach drivers policy 🚨
🚌 Absolutely delighted that @UKLabour Ministers are adopting @Conservatives policy proposals announced at #CPC26 to remove the 50km/day cap on bus drivers
🚍 These completely weird bureaucratic rules were holding young people back from becoming bus and coach drivers, and creating a shortage in the sector
🔵 Always delighted when Labour ministers adopt our worked through Conservative proposals. Well done @Heidi_Labour & @transportgovuk - now take a look at our policies to protect open access rail, Plan for Drivers, and rolling back the ZEV mandate 🙏

🇻🇦How does the Church shape global debates on development? @steveracemp, @JeromeMayhew, @SWDevonRebecca and @PennyMordaunt spent the day at the Vatican, with discussions ranging from AI regulation to migration and violence against women and girls.

Lots of people like the sound of a tax that someone else is going to pay.
But
Taxing the hospitality sector (which is incredibly highly taxed already) even more is a bad idea. And the threat of 14 years in prison isn’t going to encourage new people into the hotel trade either.

Exc: Evasion of Angela Rayner’s new “tourist tax” will carry a maximum penalty of 14 years in prison.
The measures, set out in a bill published on Wednesday, target accommodation providers in England who evade the proposed overnight visitor levy.
The new legislation is also designed to prevent property owners offering “mates’ rates” to friends that would reduce the amount of tax paid on temporary stays.

Great to see the impact of this trade deal which originated under the last Conservative government. When I visited @WombatCricket in Ivybridge last week they shared how they will benefit with their willow wood and cricket bat exports to India. 🇮🇳 🏏
From British willow to cricket grounds across India. 🏏
The UK-India trade deal will phase out tariffs on cricket bats over the next five years, creating new opportunities for UK bat makers and the farmers growing the British willow behind them.

🚎 🚲Conservatives pledge to ban floating bus stops and remove the most dangerous 🚌 🚲
@UKLabour have been told to stop building floating bus stops that put elderly, blind and vulnerable people at risk.
Groups representing the disabled show that where there are floating bus rable users has collapsed, trapping many of the most vulnerable in their homes.
But Labour still haven’t listened.
These stops are death traps, and we will ban them. Common-sense policies with @Conservatives

Keeping men out of women’s sports is common sense. Today I voted for that protection.
Conservatives are leading the fight to protect our women and girls.

Women’s sport should be for women only. It’s common sense.
That’s why the @Conservatives have tabled amendments to the Sporting Events Bill to protect the integrity of women’s sport in major sporting events on British soil.
If this Labour Government is serious about supporting women in sport, it needs to back our amendments.

Also, if citing Notre Dame, have they considered how swiftly they did the work in Paris compared to how long Parliament would be closed for? 5 years v 19-61?! It would be to our great shame as a nation if Parliament is closed for that long.
We must make the building safe of course but that is not expensive and not an excuse to spend £16 bn on underground visitor centres and the like - the idea is grotesque

When you put it like that…
Andy Burnham would rather hand over £450mil every year to cut university fees for EU students, than reverse Labour’s freeze of repayment thresholds for Plan 2 student loans.
Politics is about choices. It seems that foreign students are more important to Labour than English students.

Andy Burnham thinks our welfare reforms are just about ‘a number’. He’s wrong. Savings are important - but it’s about much more than that.
The system is broken. 6.7 million people of working age are not working. We have 1 million young people ‘NEET’. This is terrible for them and a disaster for our country.
Meanwhile people who are working and paying taxes are doing the sums and asking ‘why bother?’
Our welfare system is neither fair nor sustainable.
Andy Burnham’s Labour Party won’t fix it.

I sat on the Renters Rights Bill Committee and highlighted the impact it would have on supply of private rented homes. The latest tax hike on landlords will pile on even more pressure. Glad to be able to say as much on @BBCSpotlight Sunday Politics this weekend.

This is brilliant work by @Policy_Exchange exposing the reality of Labour’s Conversion Practices Bill. This legislation must be stopped, it’s mad to criminalise parents who are trying to protect their child. It’s a disaster for safeguarding and clear state over reach.
The ‘Trans-Inclusive’ Conversion Practices Bill is "ideological, authoritarian and unworkable.”
If enacted, the Bill will criminalise parents who seek, with the best of intentions, to dissuade children from ‘transitioning’. 👇

As Kemi has made clear this morning the @Conservatives oppose the Conversion Practices draft bill.
It is unworkable and criminalises parents for doing the right thing by their child.

Shabana has made a serious mistake surrendering to Labour MPs. So I’m putting people on notice - when we get into government we will scrap this weak policy.
Immigration is too high. Labour are making a bad situation much, much worse.
The Conservative Party is under new is problem started under a previous Conservative govt. Many of those in that Cabinet have gone to Reform where they belong.
And I’ve got a proper plan to fix it👇
