Cllr Emily Strudwick

Reform UK Cllr in Portsmouth. Promoted by Reform UK, Millbank Tower 21–24 Millbank London SW1P 4QP

[Cllr Emily Strudwick @StrudwickEmily]

I’m Emily. A Reform UK Councillor from Portsmouth, new to X.

I stepped up because, as a young woman, I’m worried about where our country is heading. Sometimes I don’t feel safe walking home at night and that isn’t right.

We can do better. Safer streets, stronger communities. 🩵

[Cllr George Madgwick @georgedmadgwick]

STATEMENT:
Reform UK has reported ITV, its board, and its undercover reporters to Hampshire Police today.

As Zia Yusuf said; They directly interfered in elections and almost certainly altered the results. Being paid to “canvass” for Reform in crucial wards we lost by a few dozen votes.

They lied to a veteran about their service and left him “violated”.

This is unprecedented.

The police are now involved.

Scrutiny of political parties is one thing.

But anyone breaking the law to try and ruin the lives of Reform’s staff, members or volunteers will be reported to the police and pursued relentlessly in the courts.

What a cracking evening in Portsmouth last night!

A massive thank you to everyone who came along and made it such a brilliant event. It was fantastic to meet so many of you, have some proper conversations and see such a great turnout.

A special thank you to @georgedmadgwick , @StrudwickEmily , @SuellaBraverman , @antmiddleton , @PaulCoxComedy and @GoodwinMJ for making it such a memorable evening.

It was a real pleasure to be part of the panel and share the stage with some fantastic people.

Events like this remind me why I love doing what I do. Getting out from behind the camera, meeting people face to face and having conversations about the future of our country is what it's all about.

Thanks again, Portsmouth. You were brilliant! 🇬🇧

EXCLUSIVE. Reporter from iNewspaper just called me and asked me for a quote. BUT confirmed that Gosport is being considered by officials to be used as a permanent landing site for migrant boats. And, I quote, ‘they are looking for another suitable processing site somewhere else in the south coast near that area’.

I’m hoping the winter will see very little crossings. But from next year we could have a constant stream 😢

[Cllr Emily Strudwick @StrudwickEmily]

Great to be on stage at tonight with @SuellaBraverman @PaulCoxComedy @BruceHamill_DU & @antmiddleton to speak about our country and our local community

Brilliant event with so much enthusiasm for Reform UK

[Cllr George Madgwick @georgedmadgwick]

ITV EXPOSE but here’s what you need to know. In Portsmouth they implemented 2 full time journalists to infiltrate our group for around 2 months during the election period.

These two people campaigned with us almost full time. They were responsible for thousands of flyers, postal vote letters and door knocking. We have no idea whether they fulfilled their campaigning and regardless whether they did or didn’t it’s election interference.

We should be deeply concerned that one of the UKs biggest broadcasters proactively paid journalists to campaign for a political party and effect the democratic vote.

That has to be illegal

Anyway of course I condemn some of the comments made my some of the former Reform colleagues that have since resigned or been suspended. Was unpleasant to listen to. Racism isn’t welcome in Reform in any capacity.

The establishment are terrified of Reform UK. That’s why we are the most attacked party in the UK.

[Cllr George Madgwick @georgedmadgwick]

I stand, and always will stand, with EVERY patriot in this country who wants to protest and have their voice heard in a respectable and peaceful way 🩵🇬🇧🩵

I’ll sleep easy at night knowing I’m putting my community and country first.

STATEMENT
I am aware that ITV infiltrated the Portsmouth Reform UK branch for their undercover report. I am featured in their documentary. Not in a bad way, in my opinion, but still featured. I’ll get to that in a minute….

What I am more shocked and disgusted in is that I now know who the two reporters were whom infiltrated us. These two men campaigned with us in March/April in Portsmouth and it leads me to wonder whether their interference in an election is a potential criminal offence.

We have no way to know whether they posted flyers they were meant to. Or whether they gave us correct door knocking information. They campaigned in four seats specifically where, in 3, we lost by a small number of votes. Their involvement would have had an impact on the result.

By default ITV could have literally paid reporters to ruin an election result for Reform UK candidates. That has to be criminal.

On a personal level I allowed these men in my home. I made them drinks. They met my dogs. It’s an entirely disgusting invasion of personal privacy. I have photos of these men and know who they are - I will not disclose them at this stage but may in the future once I’ve gotten advice

In relation to my involvement with the documentary I remain firm in everything I personally said. I was never a member of the Portsmouth Patriots, as the documentary states, but I have supported their movement over the years from the sidelines. The executive team who run them are good people. Yes outside third parties have come in and done some abhorrent things. Those people should be condemned. But the local group themselves are decent, passionate, local residents who care deeply about their community.

I’m appalled by ITV and hope they are held to account for their potential criminal behaviour and election interference. The two reporters involved in infiltrating Portsmouth I hope are held to account for their personal actions in the outcome of elections.

The money, resources and time spent by companies and individuals to damage Reform UK are unprecedented in our political system - you have to ask yourself why?

[Cllr George Madgwick @georgedmadgwick]

Remember the man arrested at the Portsmouth protest and charged for covering his face, after he disclosed to officers he was a convert?

Well he wore a burka in court to deny using religious dress to conceal identity at Portsmouth protest

Game on it appears. This is going to be such an interesting case.

[Cllr George Madgwick @georgedmadgwick]

JUST NOW Cllr Vernon Jackson refused to apologise for the comments in the video and doubled down by called all protestors ‘thugs’ - even the children who attended with their mothers. Oh dear

[Cllr George Madgwick @georgedmadgwick]

SHOCKING. Gosport was essentially under lockdown to allow migrants to arrive. We saw 149 undocumented migrants arrive in Gosport on Sunday and the police put the entire town of almost 80,000 residents under a Section 34 notice.

Local residents, many military veterans, were asked to produce ID simply to return home.

Reform UK will be looking into the legalities of this notice and requesting answers from the police of whether this was proportionate.

The fact an army of emergency workers was dispatched to assist illegal migrants, meanwhile local people were put under orders in their own homes is outrageous.

[Reform UK @reformparty_uk]

Zia Yusuf spoke with concerned locals in Gosport today.

Open Borders Burnham has thrown them under the bus. Only Reform UK has a plan to stop the boats forever.

[Zia Yusuf @ZiaYusufUK]

Today in Gosport I met Royal Marines who are livid they are being forced to stand and watch invading men land right beside their home.

Under a Reform government they will be deployed in the Channel to defend and protect our sovereign territory.

[Cllr George Madgwick @georgedmadgwick]

I think it’s a disgrace that last night UNDOCUMENTED foreign nationals were allowed into Gosport and given police protection and escort YET at the very same time the police were checking the ID of local residents to let them go down their own roads to go home.

Does nobody see how absolutely bonkers that is?!

Last night you had more rights and less checks if you arrived in Gosport illegally via a boat than if you lived in town itself. Someone make it make sense.

[Suella Braverman @SuellaBraverman]

Only Reform will stop the invasion.

[Cllr Emily Strudwick @StrudwickEmily]

RT @georgedmadgwick: EXCLUSIVE first photo of the illegal migrants invading our home of the Royal Navy in Gosport, Portsmouth Harbour.

As…

[Cllr George Madgwick @georgedmadgwick]

OFFICIAL. A migrant boat has now docked in the home of the Royal Navy, Portsmouth Harbour and taken into Fort Blockade in Gosport

This is a national disgrace.

[Cllr George Madgwick @georgedmadgwick]

TERRIBLE. Still on the front line and just heard an officer say they are ‘expecting arrival within 15 minutes’. 15 minutes and our shore has been invaded again.

This means undocumented men are being disembarked at Portsmouth Harbour, THE HOME OF THE ROYAL NAVY.

What has our country become when we are allowing the invasion into our naval water way. I’m actually horrified.

And last week the shameful Lib Dem’s assured us no more boats would come to Portsmouth. Well yes Fort Blockade may be technically Gosport but they are coming into Portsmouth Harbour!

Shameful.

[Cllr George Madgwick @georgedmadgwick]

EXCLUSIVE. Coaches being flanked by police escort again here in Hampshire.

Looks like a big arrival imminent with that amount of coaches.
