Theresa May’s Conservatives are not prepared to duck the big challenges we face as a nation and there are few issues that are greater than the need for good-quality, affordable housing.
Theresa May has announced real action on mental health: tackling discrimination and committing to 10,000 more staff working in NHS mental health services by 2020.
In the last decade there has been a 43% increase in the number of people detained under the current Mental Health Act – which raises concerns that vulnerable people are being subject to detention, including in police cells, unnecessarily.
The choice at the election is clear. Strong and stable leadership with Theresa May in the national interest, where what you see is what you get. Or a hung Parliament and coalition of chaos under Jeremy Corbyn.
Today, Nicola Sturgeon admitted she's planning a ‘progressive’ coalition of chaos – that would disrupt our Brexit negotiations, and create more uncertainty and risk. Only a vote for the Conservatives can stop it.
The Prime Minister has just announced that a General Election will be held on 8 June - and that we will shortly take the necessary steps in Parliament to ensure that this can happen.
