I am standing to be leader because I want to renew this party in Government and with you all behind me I know I can lead us to win the next election. #ConHomeHustings

We have to show, don't tell, that we are honest and straight. We must go above and beyond the standards that we apply to everybody else. #ConHomeHustings

It's important that we're realistic about the fiscal situation but I recognise that people are struggling. I would look at fuel duty and the universal credit uplift to help people now, and I am committed to lower corporate and personal taxes. #ConHomeHustings

The UK needs to remain a force for good in the world. In Government I have always refused to allow people to smear us or push us around, and I will bring this attitude to the international stage. We are not a country to be trifled with.

I have seen the housing crisis from both the housing department and from my constituency, and I know that supply and delivery is the problem. We must tackle this in the round to ensure more people can own their own home.

A sad insight into how some journalists operate...On Wednesday, I shared our positive, well-received cross-party video to increase vaccine confidence in the midst of so much disinformation. Last night we heard great news about the Novavax Vaccine which I’ve been trialling 🙂..1/8

@HuffPost

Today, an unfortunate reminder of why there is so much confusion and mistrust. 😕
Was in meetings all day yesterday and been made aware of 2 emails received from @HuffPost journalist, Nadine White👇...2/8

@HuffPost

Disinformation is on the rise, yet @HuffPost are looking to sow distrust by making up claims I refused to take part in a video campaign…(which I suggested and promoted!) Even when Labour and Tory MPs work together, some in the media will still look for conflict 🙄...3/8

@JamesDuddridge

Actually, I spoke to the Foreign Sec about #EndSars last week and also to @JamesDuddridge, Africa minister. We’ve been on this saga loooong before the protests started. Can’t do this in a single tweet so here’s a thread 👇...(1/5)

UK govt supported a roundtable meeting on FSARS reform back in 2018 and helped the National Human Rights Commission to hold a public hearing on FSARS abuses in 2019....(2/5)

@CatrionaLaing1

Our High Commissioner, @CatrionaLaing1 has supported calls for police reform, asked the security services to respect the right of Nigerians to protest peacefully and directly raised these issues with the Nigerian govt. UK govt welcomes @MBuhari’s decision to disband FSARS. (3/5)

@MoS_Politics

My piece for @MoS_Politics today appeals for those of us in public life with a platform to use it responsibly. Some coverage creates heat but isn’t shedding light.

Our cause is not helped when irresponsible reporting inflames an already impassioned situation. (1/9)

My article uses recent examples from the BBC but it’s not really about them. The problem is much wider. When MPs and the media use exaggerated language to describe, it can inadvertently pour petrol on the flames of division, when at times we need a fire extinguisher. (2/9)

Much of this language is used to get a quick rush on social media, a platform which encourages polarisation, mob mentality, abusing and aiming to humiliate those who disagree with us rather than engaging with their arguments. (3/9)
