Hugely proud to be elected as the one of two Conservative councillors for Hyde Park ward in @CityWestminster
Years of hard work have paid off, and it will be a privilege to serve the residents of the greatest part of London, the area that I call home, over the next 4 years

It was an honour to lay a wreath at the Cenotaph this morning.
This Sunday we remember all those who never came home, the families who never stopped waiting and we pay tribute to all those who wear the uniform today.

Andy Burnham and John Healey want you to forget about the Budget
I won't. Because your taxes are heading for a record high to pay for ever more welfare
Don't let them forget it.

🗣️ Tory Cllr Elliot Keck says:
"Wonks, journalists and everyone else who cares about the burritos on Strutton Ground must unite with Westminster council against the government's disgraceful cuts to our funding. The residents and businesses in Westminster contribute £8.8 billion to the economy, we deserve our fair share back."

Following recent calls from the Green Party in Lambeth for locally-based @Shell_UKLtd to pay additional local "tax", I have written an open letter in @TheCriticMag to invite the company to #Westminster

Great news from Barnet Council on the Conservative Group motion to twin with Haifa.
This is a fantastic step in supporting the UK-Israel relationship, especially after the Green Party's disgraceful decision to sever the partnership between Hackney and Haifa.

Is that it?
John Healey had a big job to do cleaning up Labour’s mess. This Budget fails to do it.
Britain is overspent, overborrowed and overtaxed. This Budget does not come close to meeting the moment.

When John Healey stands up today and tells us he will be taxing the banks just remember.
It won't be the banks that pay. It will be you.

Cyclists are continuing to ride along the newly pedestrianised section of Oxford Street, despite being asked to dismount.
Around seven security staff have been stationed near Oxford Circus, calling out to cyclists to get off their bikes, with mixed success.

Westminster sends £8.8 billion a year to the Treasury and pays 10% of the country's business rates. Cllr Paul Fisher on BBC Radio London: "All I'm asking is a fair deal for Westminster's residents."

NEW: An FOI I received revealed that the Mayor of Hackney overrode officers' objections over the choice of deadline for the Mayor of Haifa's response to Hackney Council's consultation on detwinning
An initial deadline of late-October was brought to early October, and ultimately the *7th October*, after the Green Party Mayor, Zoe Garbett, made it clear she wanted to force this through as soon as possible

At around this time 60 years ago, heartbreakingly the village of Aberfan was changed forever. This devastating tragedy remains etched in our memories.
We today remember the 144 people, including 116 young children, who lost their lives in this horrific tragedy, leaving families and an entire community truly devastated. The grief endured by their loved ones is beyond words.

Westminster City Council is to cut over 500 jobs from a total workforce of 3,720 due to the impact of the Fair Funding reforms. Staff members were informed at a meeting led by Chief Executive Stuart Love this morning. mylondon.news/news/zone-1-ne…

Cliveden House burnt down in 1849. The architect behind Parliament rebuilt it in two years.
Now, Parliament has spent over a decade just planning its own repairs.
What happened to the country that built things? 👇
A hugely important initiative - pleased I could add my name to the more than 500 Conservative councillors on this list
Over 500 Conservative councillors have signed our open letter calling on Green councillors to stand up for British Jewish residents.
The Green Party has declared “Zionism to be racism”. Zack Polanski didn’t stay to vote against it. And yesterday, he told Laura Kuenssberg he wouldn’t overturn it: “I don’t think this is actually controversial.”
We’re asking Green councillors to disavow the motion, challenge antisemitism and reassure Jewish residents they’ll be represented without prejudice.
Silence is a choice.
Cllr Elliot Keck retweeted
We will not take Labour government cuts lying down. Labour’s assault on low-tax, well-run London councils and the services we provide to our residents *will* be challenged.
Kensington and Chelsea has started a formal challenge to Labour's Fair Funding cuts of more than 40%, and Westminster is set to join. Residents should not be punished for a well-run council with low council tax. We will keep pushing for a fairer deal. standard.co.uk/news/london/k…

The Conservatives are different.
We are ready to fight for our values. Ready to govern. Ready to get Britain working again.

We're asking residents for their views on potential changes to Westminster's Council Tax Support (CTS) scheme.
The council is facing a £100m reduction in government grant funding over the next four years, meaning difficult decisions are needed to make savings and balance the budget.
We're considering introducing a minimum contribution to the CTS scheme for working age people. We want to understand how potential changes could affect different households.
