West Midlands once led the automotive world and we can do again! says ANDY STREET

West Midlands once led the automotive world and we can do again! says ANDY STREET


The West Midlands is changing. The old post-industrial view of our region has been replaced by a brighter image of reborn city centres and civic pride. Our heavy industry has been replaced by innovative new businesses. Transport is changing here too - from the electric and driverless cars built by our automotive experts to mass-transit systems linking us to our many communities and beyond.

We’ve allowed London to be UK’s sole economic powerhouse – that MUST end, says ANDY CARTER

We’ve allowed London to be UK’s sole economic powerhouse – that MUST end, says ANDY CARTER


LIKE many, I found myself shouting at my telly after the referendum just wanting Parliament to get on and deliver what the majority of the British people voted for. Before becoming an MP in December 2019, I was running my own small business. The never-ending uncertainty of not knowing if we would leave the EU was without doubt damaging firms up and down the country, people just wanted some confidence that a decision would be made.

Class war of the Left can only harm Britain’s young people, says ANDREA JENKYNS

Class war of the Left can only harm Britain’s young people, says ANDREA JENKYNS


I ALWAYS knew that the Conservatives were the party of opportunity and social mobility. At the last election, we pledged to level-up the regions that have been left out of the South East's growth and prosperity. So far, much of the focus has been on the role of infrastructure and the need to invest in our struggling town centres and rightly so.

Labour’s woke London luvvies IGNORED voters’ real concerns, says DEHENNA DAVISON

Labour’s woke London luvvies IGNORED voters’ real concerns, says DEHENNA DAVISON


Last December's General Election was historic. There's no other way to put it. In my seat of Bishop Auckland, following months of hard campaigning graft, I became the first Conservative to win the seat since its creation in 1885. Around me in the north east, Labour seats fell like dominoes. Blyth Valley, Stockton South, Darlington, Sedgefield, and North West Durham all saw voters crossing the floor in huge swathes and voting Tory, many for the first time.

Britain doesn’t need benefits, it needs skills, says IMRAN AHMAD KHAN


I was born to a family who raised me to love, and be loyal to, Britain and the values that make her exceptional; democracy, decency, freedom, pluralism and tolerance. It is the belief in these fundamental values that led to my life-long attachment to the Conservative Party and were central to my decision to first stand for Parliament. My career has been marked by my belief in these British values.

‘British justice’ is a LIE – it serves only criminals NOT the people, says PHILIP DAVIES

‘British justice’ is a LIE – it serves only criminals NOT the people, says PHILIP DAVIES


As I have been going around the country attending Blue Collar Conservative Conversations, one thing that has come across loud and clear is that people do not feel that we are keeping them safe or locking criminals up for long enough - especially those who repeatedly break the law. They are absolutely right.
