Reheated mushy Cameroon liberalism isn't the way. Appealing to 'middle ground' liberals who hate us & annoying authentic Conservative supporters, always ends badly. Didn't work in 2010 & only in 2015 due to EU Referendum pledge. Own your mess post Boris defenestration @jdowling.

Those looking for some non-reimagined conservative philosophy might like to read my long essay in last Saturday's The Telegraph too:

Thanks for doing this so I didn’t have to!

As a busy minister I’m rarely able to give this level of detail. Ed Conway’s thread about my statement this week had some great questions but you’ve answered many of them comprehensively…..and more succinctly than I would🙏

A fine example of a polite but form rebuttal thread. This is why I read twitter: among the dross, there are some far better threads than you find in the media.

Superb mega thread from Derrick Berthelsen.

I argue in my The Telegraph column tonight that we need to think through the latest Irish border problem a bit more carefully.

Feeling rattled Wes Streeting MP?

A reminder that even so-called moderates in @uklabour see racism everywhere and are obsessed with identity politics.

Get out and vote on Thursday for Susan Hall AM and help put this kind of politics in the dustbin where it belongs.

Well done to Kemi Badenoch for taking the time today in the Commons to kill off a few myths about the UK's trade and investment performance.

Calling all LONDONERS?!? Please God 🙏we need Khan kicked out and common sense Susan Hall AM brought in as Mayor! Don’t weaken now - remember last Conservative candidate Shaun Bailey got very close with 45% vote in run off in 2021 with no ULEZ and less high crime issues. Make…
