Absolutely brilliant from Kemi Badenoch.
Nice push back against one of the ‘journalists’.

Being Prime Minister is about making the difficult decisions in the national interest.
If we keep acting like it’s a popularity contest, we will keep getting Prime Ministers who know how to get elected, but don’t know how to govern.

I manage a coffee shop. Yesterday, a guy came in for an interview. He was homeless. I could smell it before I saw him. His shirt was stained, his hair was matted, but he had shaved his face clean. He handed me a resume that was wet at the corners. "I'm a hard worker," he said. "I just need a chance. I can wash dishes. I can take out trash. I'll stay in the back." Customers were staring. My boss (the owner) walked out. He looked at the guy. "We don't have a dishwasher position," my boss said. The guy's shoulders slumped. He nodded and turned to leave. "We have a Front of House Manager position," my boss continued. The guy stopped. "Sir, look at me. I can't be in the front." "Not in that shirt, you can't," my boss said. "Go next door to the department store. Buy a shirt, a tie, and some slacks. Put it on my tab. Then come back here and start training. You have kind eyes. I can teach you to make coffee. I can't teach kindness." That was six months ago. That "homeless guy" is now our best employee. He knows every regular's name. He’s not homeless anymore. Sometimes people don’t need a handout. They need a uniform and a belief that they belong in it.

If you work, they tax you more. If you save, they tax you more. If you buy a home, they tax you MORE.
Starmer’s choices are suffocating our economy and his weak excuses are wearing thin. It’s always someone else’s fault.
Britain deserves a government with a plan and backbone.

Said this before but I’ll say it again. Just one lifetime ago in the UK, our grandfathers could buy a home, buy a car, have 3 to 4 children, wives could stay home, take annual vacations, and then retire… all on one middle-class salary. What happened?
We had same day GP, ambulances within minutes, dentists, good education, decent public transport, clean river and beaches. So AGAIN WTF happened?

£8 for a jar of coffee
£12 for bottle of olive oil
£20 spent on just two items of food.
UK supermarket food prices are out of control. Everyone is saying the same thing.

James Dyson is a British engineering icon - and we need a thousand more like him.
Entrepreneurs, job-creators, small businesses.
Only @Conservatives will bring back the dynamic business environment we need to make Britain rich again.

Some jobs are too vital to weaponise. That’s why the police have been banned from striking for over a century.
We cannot continue to put patients’ lives at risk.
Which is why @Conservatives under my leadership will ban doctors’ strikes.

This is why we need to ban doctors’ strikes.

“Farmers are land rich and cash poor. So we ended the estate tax. When a parent leaves a farm to the kids, they do not have to worry about their local banker coming in and stealing their farm.”

In Dubai, if you want to clear 10k a month net; 120k a year
You need to earn 120k. Zero tax
Can you guess how much you need to earn in the U.K?
In Hong Kong it’s 140k (20k tax), in China it’s 160k (40k tax)
(And they say China is a communist state)
In the U.S & Germany it’s £165k
Even in Canada & France, supposedly ‘worse’ than the U.K, it’s £172k (52k in tax)
But in the U.K, it’s 205k. Almost double (85k tax), and that’s just on what you earn
Then there’s sales taxes on what you spend
And I imagine in the autumn budget taxes will go UP again
So what reason is there to stay here?

At this point, UK prices feel completely made up.
30-min taxi? £42.
Flat that was £600/month in 2020? Now £1,350.
Train to London? £290 return.
Car insurance? Doubled, no claims.
Basic groceries? £90 for oat milk & crisps.
Dentist? £120 to be told to floss.
This is insanity.

What can you say about Chef Dan smith…
Opened a pub… won a Michelin star…
Found another pub (also called The White Horse) won ANOTHER Michelin star !
How can you make winning Michelin stars look so easy ffs. Tell you what, we will ask Chef Dan when he travels up from Kent to cook with us.
Dan Smith has worked his way around some of the UK’s top restaurants, working for the likes of Jason Atherton as well as in the Clove Club, where he stayed for five years.

Chef Paul Leonard’s stepping out of his own super successful guest chef series to come & cook in ours! and we are bloody delighted.
Paul Leonard's is head chef at The Forest Side, an idyllic retreat in the Lake District which he joined in 2019. The team were listed on the National Restaurant Awards Top 100 list in 2024 and have retained their Michelin star for 2025.
Paul's innovative cooking style showcases homegrown and foraged ingredients to great success - he harvests 85% of the fresh seasonal fruit, vegetables, and herbs from the kitchen garden.
Having previously cooked under the likes of Marcus Wareing and Andrew Fairlie, Paul Leonard’s Michelin experience also includes retaining a star at The Isle of Eriska on the west coast of Scotland – a great achievement given that it was his first role as head chef.
Chef paul Leonard joins us on Monday 3rd November.
Reservations for this open at 7pm tomorrow & we’d love you to join us.

It’s chef Mary-Ellen Mctague !
Years spent cooking at The Fat Duck, including in development roles gives you an idea of the calibre of Chef Mary Ellen. Add to this the relentless work Mary Ellen has been doing to feed vulnerable people since the pandemic & it's easy to see why she is such a boss!
Mary-Ellen, chef & writer. Born in Bury, Mary-Ellen trained under Heston Blumenthal and went onto have several of her own ventures starting with a fine dining restaurant in Prestwich called Aumbry. Then onto Manchester city centre to launch a pop-up restaurant in the Northern Quarter called 4244. Mary-Ellen has used her 20+ years' experience to launch Eat Well MCR, a charity initiative providing chef-made meals to people sidelined by poverty across Greater Manchester. Her newest restaurant is called Pip and located at the Treehouse Hotel. Pip utilises local, seasonal produce from sustainable sources.
Chef Mary Ellen Mctague joins us on Tuesday 18th November.
