Thanks to @Trentstudents for hosting Nottingham East candidate hustings this evening - an important chance to discuss key issues in this election including Brexit, NHS and antisemitism. https://t.co/fxbdqYhL9g
This election should have been a chance to confront how we actually improve care quality in the #NHS, solve the elderly social care crisis & face up to uncertain funding post-Brexit. No wonder people are fed up with this stale debate from the main parties as they duck the issues. https://t.co/NrXmeY6Vda
Hugh respect on this ‘Small Business Saturday’ to the hundreds of local small companies and shops working tirelessly, especially at this time of year. We should applaud their enterprise and contribution to the community - not denigrate them! #privatesector #SmallBizSatUK https://t.co/Yart2aK5kX
READ @FT election editorial today: “Rarely have Britain’s political leaders seemed so ill-equipped...Conservatives and Labour, colonised by populists, have abandoned the centre....Both offer illusory remedies that hark back to a half-imagined past.” https://t.co/fgQAg3XDgX
A damning catalogue of antisemitism submitted by @JewishLabour to @EHRC. No coincidence this has emerged since the hard-left ideology took hold. Many of us tried our hardest to stop it. I’m only sorry we couldn’t prevent it gripping and wrecking Labour. https://t.co/eAYhTvYF2i https://t.co/NvVKwQ7eGe
So much more needs to be done to seriously tackle unfair inequalities and promote social mobility. But turning the country over to be run by ideologues won’t achieve this. Not by those who think free markets solve all. Nor by those who want the state to pre-determine everything. https://t.co/BGu2GsmFTd
#NATO is important for our collective defence & mutual security. One of the reasons I couldn’t knock on doors and pretend Jeremy Corbyn should be trusted with our national security was his view that it’s ‘high time for an end to NATO’. This really matters. #GeneralElection19 https://t.co/FOSVyuZ18D
Has there ever been an election with such an unpalatable choice between the deceitful populism of the main parties? We need independent-minded MPs more than ever. It’s the only antidote in this situation. That’s why I’m standing in this election. https://t.co/kvYnj5ia28
Grateful for support out campaigning on the doorstep #GeneralElection2019 Lots of people wanting an independent-minded MP, rather than someone bound by Corbyn’s whip or Johnson’s whip. If you want to join our campaign let us know! ➡️ chris@theindependent.group https://t.co/DZO7CuUULv
Real bravery from police and the public reacting to London Bridge attack today. A terrible incident and a reminder of the threats that still continue - and concerning to hear also about attack in Netherlands tonight as well.
