Apologies to the people in South Norfolk about to receive letters with Peppa Pig stamps on them.
When the GE is called and spending limits are about to kick in you have to take whatever the local Post Office can give you!

Completely right from @NextGenTories. Yes we lost votes to Reform, but we lost an awful lot to Labour and the Lib Dems too. We won't be a successful party again unless we can offer working-age people better life prospects
Over the coming weeks we’ll set out our case for where the Conservative Party must go next.
The scale of the defeat means Conservatives can no longer attempt to double down on the pensioner vote alone.
A short thread on how we win young people back, and why it matters 🧵

Quite right from @KemiBadenoch . Tennant’s is a very ugly attitude to have towards women defending their spaces
I will not shut up. I will not be silenced by men who prioritise applause from Stonewall over the safety of women and girls.
A rich, lefty, white male celebrity so blinded by ideology he can’t see the optics of attacking the only black woman in government by calling publicly for my existence to end…..(1/2)

This is great news, and will help many more people become genuine home-owners, without the complications of leaseholds and management companies
🚨 Government has announced an end to leasehold for new homes.
📣 A win for NGT and many others calling for a move to freehold.
🏡 This will mean genuine homeownership for new owners. Your house, no one else’s.

Some great ideas from @NextGenTories for how to make Conservatism work for working-age people again. This has to be part of our plan for the next decade
We are releasing our proposals for the Conservative Manifesto - Making it easier to buy a home, start a family and keep more of what you earn - these policies are essential for the Conservative's to win the support of working age people.
Hear what Director of Policy, @JoshSmithNGT, has to say:
