You don’t win by being a lesser version of the real thing, so stop trying to out-Reform Reform. There is a chasm in the centre ground to be filled - & that’s where my party should be. Pro-business, economically competent, socially liberal, tough on crime, strict on migration.

The lesson of history is UK elections are won from the centre That’s why I’m such a believer in moderate & inclusive Conservatism, and why I believe my party needs to regain the centre ground That - plus my views on the GE campaign and a bit about life - with Sophy Ridge👇🏻

In 18 months Brum has gone from record investment to rubbish & rats. But we’re only down, not out. When the strikes end we’ll all need to come together to repair our city’s reputation once again, and now is the time to think what part we're all going to play in that fightback.

🎥 BBC Newsnight Enough is enough - Saturday has to be the last day of strike action on our railways. Yesterday I sat down with hospitality leaders & found out that in December ALONE businesses lost £2 BILLION in cities dependent on rail like Brum. That’s doing real harm.

Today you get to decide which individual leads the WM as its Mayor 🫵🏻 It has been the honour of a lifetime serving as your Mayor, and I believe we’ve achieved so much together 👏🏻 But there’s still more to do, & I need your support to deliver my ambitious, fully-funded plans 🗳️

Us Brummies love hosting, so it’s great to welcome Conservative Party Conference back to the city. With the future of the party on the agenda, I hope we’ll see a focus on moderate conservatism that delivers - not an obsession over ideology. It’s how we were successful in the WM.

The growth in the state since the Brexit referendum is eye-watering - funded through higher taxation. Therefore the question shouldn't be which taxes to raise next - it should be how do we trim the state & use that to stimulate business growth to bring the tax burden down.

Our record on housing speaks for itself👇🏻 🎯 The only region ahead of housing targets 🤝🏻 30% affordability rate smashed 🌳 Brownfield first to protect the greenbelt Now thanks to new powers & cash I’ve got from Government, we can triple the number of social homes being built 🏠

This Thursday’s election is a critical moment for the West Midlands. My plan for the region is ambitious, backed by financial competence, that will deliver for citizens. Now more than ever it’s important the region has a leader that can be trusted to deliver at the right price.

The budget clarified what this Government stands for - tax & spend. That approach is their prerogative given their majority & mandate, but it’s now up to us to present a credible alternative that prioritises business & goes for growth, whilst funding sustainable public services.
