Proud father,suffering Arsenal fan, love EDM, Conservative in Colchester Essex. All views are my own, RT’s/L not always an endorsement.

[John Moss @John_J_C_Moss]

I'm reposting this so more peple can see how utterly shameless, @RobertJenrick is being. He is deliberately selectively quoting @KemiBadenoch to present something entirely contrary to what was actually said.

Most peole call this 'lying'.

[Chris Piggott @cmpiggott]

@ThomasEvansAdur I suspect you’ve hit the nail on the head.

[Chris Piggott @cmpiggott]

What a weird April Fools joke. The flag is all over Essex.

[Russell Quirk @russellquirk]

Breaking: Essex County Council Conservatives voted this morning to ban the Union flag from flying anywhere in the county including road bridges, lampposts and public buildings.

It ‘causes offence to minorities’ said a Tory spokesperson.

[Simon Jordan @Sjopinion10]

Happy to show , the bits that weren’t shown ….

That will make wilder look a bigger moron , than he already does ..

He lied about saying I was told not to ask about fury .

He turned a reasonable question about fury, a subject he has advanced into a race related rant .

Threatened to punch me , screamed and hollered and makes out now he’s misrepresented 🤡🤡🤡🤡

[Cllr Lucy Trimnell 🫖 @LucyTrims]

This was apparently Russell’s idea of an April Fool.

He knows how it works though, people see it, believe it and regardless of knowing it’s not true will perpetuate it and all he has to do is say ‘it was just a joke’.

You’ll have Reform fans living opposite Essex County Hall with a daily view of the Union Flag proudly flying and they will still merrily tell people Essex County Council Conservatives don’t believe in our flag (and therefore by extension *all* Conservatives…)

It was a late night political talk show which didn’t take itself too seriously. And aspired to a sense of humour (needed after Question Time). I didn’t aspire to run the country. Or sit in parliament. So your analogy is pathetic. But thanks for reminding us all what a fun show it was.

[Nicole Lampert @nicolelampert]

Daily Mail journalists aren’t going after your family (as you are aware, there is more we could write if we were).
I’m a freelance journalist who spoke to your family members who are frightened by the Jew hate in your party. They are frightened by what you have given the green light to.
While you once fought Jew hatred, now you indulge it because, as we both see, it is popular.
Other political groups have discovered this in the past.
Shame on you @ZackPolanski
Shame on you.

[Craig Liddell @CraigLiddell7]

Tonight the @Conservatives secured a hat-trick of wins. This includes us retaining all our seats and gaining one from the Lib Dems!

This positive momentum is great as we approach the local elections and shows we can still win across the country! 🇬🇧

[Suzanne Evans @SuzanneEvans1]

Government borrowing hits 4.8% under @trussliz. @RachelReevesMP says Truss was ‘reckless’ and put the economy in danger. Government borrowing hits 5.6% when Reeves is Chancellor, and she says: “I’ve put out economy back on a firm footing” and implies she’s an economic genius 🙄

[Susan Hall AM @Councillorsuzie]

No, No, Britain needs a Chancellor and Government that know what they are doing.

[Chris Rose @ArchRose90]

Credit to @Councillorsuzie for calling out Zack Polanski for laughing at Churchill's statue being desecrated. Couldn’t have put it better myself. 👏🏽

The British public will soon realise that Zack is a glorified anarchist who never grew out of student politics.

[Chris Piggott @cmpiggott]

@CatharineHoey They do seem to be able to protect our own borders, let alone space overseas.

[Aɴᴛ @AntSpeaks]

A reminder that needs to be put out regularly..

Jeremy Corbyn once referred to terrorists from Hamas and Hezbollah as his friends.

Today he is at a pro-Iranian regime gathering in London.

He is a threat to national security.

[Chris Piggott @cmpiggott]

This wasn’t predictable was it! The UK must never allow this lot into power.

[Zack Polanski @ZackPolanski]

This is an illegal, unprovoked and brutal attack that shows once again that the USA and Israel are rogue states.

The UK must end our cosy relationship with the USA and our ongoing support for Israel.

[Andrew Neil @afneil]

I don’t think this was a Farage promise. This was part of the BoJo Brexit campaign which was separate from Farage.
Anyway hardly matters. Far from an extra £350m a week we now spend a billion more per week on the NHS compared with the time of the 2016 Brexit referendum and nobody can see any improvement.

[Andrew Neil @afneil]

Almost everything this PM says now requires a community note.
The electricity price cap is not coming down because the government has managed to produce electricity more cheaply. It’s still the most expensive in the world — and forecast to become even more expensive.
The cap is reduced because the government has taken £117-worth of largely green subsidies from fuel your bills and put them on to general taxation. You’re still paying for them — just in a different way.
And as your taxes go up to meet these green levies the cap is still £73 higher than when Labour came to power. So your energy bills are not coming down — though Labour promised they would — and the overall tax burden is at a record high.
There PM. Sorted it for you.

[Rory Synnott @RorSyns]

If you are a young man in the UK and you are considering pouring milk over your head in the supermarket shouting “6-2 6-2” you are a cunt.

And if you actually do it.. you are a MONUMENTAL desperate cunt.

[Andrew Neil @afneil]

Kemi Badenoch was able to handle herself but this three-to-one pile on should never have been allowed by @GMB. The presenters should have intervened. And just who the hell does Martin Lewis think he is?

[Andrew Neil @afneil]

Some corrections:
You inherited 2% inflation. It doubled in 12 months after you became Chancellor. It is still 50% above the rate you inherited and 50% above target. It should fall to target 2% this summer. So two years to get back to where you started! What’s to boast about that?
Interest rates have been falling everywhere. UK cuts, which you don’t control, have been fewer and smaller because of your inflation record. We still have highest interest rate in G7. The Bank has made some cuts for the simple reason the economy is flat on its back. Well done.
Borrowing is slowly falling from a very high base. Almost six years after the pandemic-induced recession, we’re still borrowing around 4% GDP. And borrowing costs are the highest in the G7.
Retail sales are up in recent months. We’ll see how long that’s sustained. But the hospitality and construction industries are in crisis. Plus our massive services sector is stagnant.
UK fastest G7 economy? That’s simply a bare-faced lie. We grew by 0.1% in Q3 2025; and another 0.1% in Q4. End of.

[Andrew Snowden MP 🇬🇧 @A_J_Snowden]

This is not acceptable. We disagree through the ballot box, not through vandalism.

I have some disagreements with Reform in Fylde and a few of them are not my biggest fans! But that’s democracy and I respect that.

I’ve personally been subjected to attempts at intimidation and harassment during my time in politics and it’s not been nice for my family or me. But I don’t know what those people sought to achieve - as all it did was make me more determined to take a stand for what I believe in.

My message to whoever did this: ‘You should be ashamed of yourself, grow up or get out of our area - this is not how we behave in Fylde’.
