I am backing @RishiSunak to be Conservative Leader and Prime Minister because he will lead a government we can trust to provide stability, competence, good judgement and strong leadership.

I support @RishiSunak for leader as the only candidate who will beat Keir Starmer and win the next General Election. People trust Rishi and know he’s competent and serious. He has a proven track record in difficult times, which I want to see in our next Prime Minister.

Sir George Iacobescu is one of the greatest exponents of urban regeneration, believing in and building Canary Wharf over 35 years. I’m sure he’ll never truly retire, but wish him well. thetimes.co.uk/article/sir-ge…

We’re putting an end to ground rents for new leasehold properties, the most significant overhaul of property law in a generation. The first of two Bills on Leasehold Reform, and part of our comprehensive package for homeowners and buyers.

Building your own home should be a mainstream, realistic and affordable option for people across the country. That’s why we are making it easier and more affordable – backed by over £150 million to kickstart a self building revolution. (1/4)

It’s official: figures released today show since Boris Johnson became PM, rough sleeping has almost halved. Thank you to everyone who has worked tirelessly to make this happen. Together we can end rough sleeping.

Embedding beauty in how development is done is central to making more people want more housing. This doesn't work properly as an optional 'add-on' or afterthought. If we want "development" to be a good word, then we must have good development.

It was brilliant to meet Barbara, getting vaccinated at the Al-Abbas mosque in Birmingham today. And to thank Sheikh Nuru and his team. A brilliant symbol of our mission to tackle Covid together and vaccinate everyone, from every community.

Introducing the new ‘Right to Regenerate’: local people to be given a new right to take over unused council-owned buildings. Meaning more new homes, businesses and community assets — whatever a community wants to see in their area. (1/4)

Everyone In - our strategy 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 𝘀𝗹𝗲𝗲𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘀 from #Covid19 - has undoubtedly saved many lives. Our next step: focusing on GP registrations, so rough sleepers too can receive the vaccine.
