The chairman of the Young Conservative Network made the comment as the city hosts the Tory party conference
The Tory Mayor of the West Midlands told the chairman of Young Conservative Network to leave Birmingham after Daniel Grainger called the city ‘a dump’ on Twitter. Mr Grainger made the comment after travelling to the city during party conference season.
In a later tweet, Mr Grainger wrote: “My tweet in relation to Birmingham was not about the city or its people. I’ve always enjoyed my visits to your city, but this morning I was greeted by an individual who threatened me with a mugging.“I’d also like to directly apologise to , the and other representatives of Birmingham for my ill conceived comments. I have now deleted the tweet.”
“Off you pop then, and take anyone with the same views with you. Try and take some time to grow up and understand just why this city is so special whilst you’re gone,” the mayor wrote.Mr Street added: “I may be a Conservative, but I’m also a bloody proud Brummie. I won’t have anyone who’s never lived or breathed this place trying to put us down.”
In an article for The Daily Telegraph, Kwasi Kwarteng claimed he will be setting out a “credible plan” to get the public finances back on track with a “commitment to spending discipline”.
