Trans people exist. Trans rights are Human Rights.

I know this will be of differing opinion to many, but as an LGBT+ Conservative, I feel the need to speak out.

I will share some words from Dr Helen Webberley:

"When our courts uphold discrimination, we must rise louder. Trans women are women, always have been, always will be."

Roses are red, the slogans are slick,
Rachel’s SOS Budget? A Tory-lite trick.
Slashing the safety net, boosting the bombs -
New Labour’s back, just minus the charm.

Rachel Reeves’ budget tomorrow looks like its going to be Austerity rebranded.

✂️ 11% cuts to departments
✂️ £5bn welfare squeeze
❌ No tax cuts

Labour promised growth—but they’re delivering cuts.
Same old Labour. No plan, no direction.

From a FB group: Life on a Council Estate — someone asked what comes to mind first.

“And here we see the majestic wild pig quenching its thirst at the watering hole.”

I know it’s wrong to call police, who work hard to protect us, pigs but I did laugh out loud.

I will be catching up the speech by @kemibadenochmp.bsky.social on my break, but from what I've heard its been a brilliant speech! Looking at the Telegraph live reporting, I will say this. This policy is one way to annoy the greens 🤣

She wants to hear from YCs as part of her Renewal. She’s taking our ideas and suggestions on board. And something is coming!

It didn’t disappoint and it was lovely to have party chairman Nigel Huddleston MP us at the pub for a drink after.

What a blast I had at the West Mids Regional @conservatives.bsky.social Conference today! New friends met, old friends reunited. Kemi took time to listen and speak to Young Conservatives to find out what we would like to see happen and what we feel is going right and what isn’t.

Reform UK Councillor Quits Reform

Rosemary Trollope-Bellew that defected to the party in February has quit Reform to be an Independent.

Wonder if more will...

I never normally like to comment on Celeb Scandals but I will just say this once. Calm down on the bombardment of the drunken kiss between Danny Jones & Maura Higgins. Can't begin to imagine how most of them must be feeling. Who knows what's going on at home. When ready, they will speak out.

Shauney Connor @toryshaun.bsky.social · Mar 8

Just had a decent argument on Philip Schofield's cancellation at the dinner table. It was a fair fight, but the opponent didn't let me finish my argument.

Should Schofield make a comeback to TV?

Shauney Connor @toryshaun.bsky.social · Mar 7

Well. I think now that Judges are being told to be political etc, they’ll realise that Starmer and Labour see Reform as a threat, so they might prosecute 🤣

Reform Party UK Exposed @reformexposed.bsky.social · Mar 7

Surely if Rupert Lowe isn’t prosecuted it’s two tier justice.

It’s disappointing to withdraw from the process, but I take comfort in knowing that I’m staying true to what I set out to do—putting people first.

Elections come and go, but family is forever.

Shauney Connor @toryshaun.bsky.social · Mar 6

I have always believed in putting people before politics—that’s why I decided to stand for Shropshire Council.

However, when family matters arise, our priorities must be clear. What kind of representative would I be if I didn’t stand by my own values and put family first?

My support for Ukraine is unwavering. What happened in the Oval Office is disgraceful. Trump and Vance have no care for Ukraine but for themselves.

207 council by-elections since the General Election, just 12 seats won for Reform UK.

There were 5 council by-elections this week Reform UK won 1.

They have just 72 out of 20k councillors across the UK.

A councillor resigned from the party last night meaning their net councillor gain is 0 today.

So #Labours Mike Amesbury, MP for Runcorn, has been jailed. He’s not resigned. He’s still going to be receiving his salary. All whilst in prison. Your money, paying him to sit in a cell for 10 weeks!

This is what a @conservatives.bsky.social run council does! We pull through. Onwards and upwards!

I’m not a resident of this area, but I remember hearing about the landslip 5 years ago. I’m sure the residents will as well. Is there really any point having a ‘un’ happy birthday cake to celebrate it? As a fellow Tory and Cllr for highways said: election looming, photo op, typical LibDem behaviour!

Work could soon begin to repair road - five years after major landslip

A landslip that has closed the A490 near the Powys border in Shropshire could be repaired at last.

Let’s just say this: every culture has its positives and its negatives. Some have positives which outweigh the negatives and some have negatives that outweigh the positives.
