Britain faces serious threats. We need to fund our Armed Forces properly, not keep kicking the can down the road.

The Lib Dems promised residents they would cut parking charges, this is the reality

Dorset drivers could pay more for on-street parking, while some free car parks may start charging in 2027.

Labour are choosing to fund more benefits instead of defending our country.

Only the Conservatives will cut welfare to fund defence.

The pressure is mounting - even Labour MPs have little confidence in the Lib Dems to run the BCP Council.

MPs from across the political spectrum have criticised BCP Council's leadership as a no-confidence motion against leader Millie Earl and calls for her resignation gather momentum

BCP deserves better. 🗳️

The Conservative Group has submitted a motion of no confidence in Council Leader Millie Earl, to be debated at Full Council on 8 December.

Here is why:

📉 A 6.79% council tax rise was presented as prudent and sustainable, yet the council is already forecasting an in-year shortfall of around £32 million.

💷 Three weeks after writing to Government about the SEND deficit, the Leader led a proposal to raise councillors’ allowances, including a 26% rise in her own.

🏛️ Council tax went above the 4.99% referendum threshold without a referendum, and town councils have added a further charge to bills.

🅿️ Parking income is forecast £3.2 million short and seafront operations £1.1 million short.

Residents deserve a leader with clear priorities, a firm grip on spending and a credible plan. The Group has asked Cllr Earl to step aside before the meeting, and the final decision rests with councillors.

Why the Conservative Group has brought a motion of no confidence in BCP’s council leader

02/11/2026

Labour are making it more expensive to run a business and harder for young people to get a job.

The Conservatives would:

✅ Scrap business rates for thousands of high street businesses.

✅ Halve employers’ National Insurance for 21-24-year-olds.

✅ Scrap Labour’s job-destroying employment red tape.

02/11/2026

Try telling that to the small business owners working evenings and weekends just to keep their businesses afloat.

🗣️ Residents are being asked to accept higher bills. They deserve to know whether the council did everything it could to make BCP’s case to Government.

The Echo’s FOI investigation reports that no ministerial meeting on funding took place between July 2024 and September 2026, despite repeated claims of “lobbying”.

John Beesley has written an open letter to Council Leader Millie Earl asking for the correspondence to be published and four key questions to be answered.

That’s the Budget Conservatives would have delivered.
