Used to be a lefty but I'm alright now. I have travelled the world and hope to continue the adventure. Reform candidate for Bideford East.

@wesstreeting Yet another reason not to vote Labour. I've never seen a government or its mps lie so much to the people.

Vote Reform for a better future.

@LibDems @JoshBabarinde That's why we need Zia and you can crawl back under the rock you came from.

Since Andy Burnham wants to be the next Labour leader, here’s a reminder:

Andy accused victims of Pakistani-Muslim grooming gangs of trying to “propagandise” the issue.

He tried to block the grooming gangs inquiry in Manchester and nationally.

He claimed that Pakistani-Muslims grooming gangs are a “thing of the past” despite clear evidence that little girls are still being victimised to this day, including in his local area.

And what does he call the LITTLE GIRLS who were raped under his watch?

Not children.
Not little girls.

“Young women.”

Even on the most basic level, Burnham tried to shift the blame onto victims and refused to acknowledge that they were children.

Countless little girls were raped, exploited and even murdered by Pakistani-Muslim grooming gangs, while powerful men like him turned a blind eye.

Andy Burnham belongs in prison, not Parliament.

And certainly not in 10 Downing Street.

Senior figures at Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service, under the command of Andy Burnham, have cautioned firefighters who support Reform UK over their political views.

In a further chilling assault on free speech, staff have also effectively been urged in an email to report colleagues who support Reform.

Fire brigade bosses have also said they are seeking legal advice on what to do about firefighters who decide to stand as Reform UK candidates. This is despite the fact that, unlike police officers, there is no legal bar preventing firefighters from participating in national or local politics.

In their email, fire brigade bosses Mr Petch and Ms Ahmed said: ’We are aware that some staff members have chosen to represent Reform UK in their local areas. We know this may cause concern within our network and wider.

’The individuals involved have been spoken to, to make it clear that as members of GMFRS (Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service) our core values and professional behaviours must be displayed at all times.

’The service is currently seeking formal legal guidance… to ensure we are protected from all perspectives and that our inclusive culture remains safe.

‘Our priority is and always will be ensuring that every member of this network feels supported, respected and safe at work.’

They also confirmed that they would be consulting the Fire Brigades Union on the matter.

In his role as Mayor of Greater Manchester, @AndyBurnhamGM — who is also tipped by some to be a future Prime Minister if he wins the Makerfield by-election — is also Greater Manchester’s Fire Commissioner, responsible for overseeing the service.

General Secretary of the Free Speech Union, Lord Young of Acton, has now written to Mr Burnham to raise concerns about the chilling effect this has on free speech.

Lord Young said that the ‘clear implication’ of the email from the fire brigade bosses was that ‘representing Reform UK constitutes an inherent threat to the institution’s culture and values and is to be treated as morally suspect’. He also highlighted that no action appears to have been taken against firefighters who support other political parties.

The letter also states: ‘Staff are further invited to report colleagues who support any groups that go against the service’s values, which effectively amounts to an instruction to inform on colleagues for their political beliefs.

’The email will create a chilling effect on the free speech of GMFRS employees who support Reform.

’The practical effect is that a public fire and rescue service governed by you is treating the lawful political activity of your electoral opponents as a reputational risk to their employer.

‘Regardless of whether this reflects your instruction, it reflects your governance; and a public office-holder who permits his institution to demonise or chill the speech and political activity of those who support his principal electoral rival cannot claim to be discharging that office with the impartiality it demands.’

@Heccles94 Fact check:

Harry Eccles is a horrific liar and always will be.

[Suffragent @Suffragent_]

Shabana Mahmood has CONDEMNED the Henry Nowak protests in Southampton, saying those responsible will be arrested.

Meanwhile, here she is on a pro-Palestine protest which turned violent and forced a supermarket to close.

She has since deleted this video. Please don't RT it.

@AndrewHWestern Why? Because he tells the world what a bunch of spineless people we have in power?
He told the truth and you don't like scrutiny.

[astralnight @karmicghost]

@narindertweets Reform have been number one in over 300 polls in row for who people want to be in government.

What a plank you are for being so out of touch with reality.

@PabloOHana Then you're the problem.

@Heccles94 That's a bit rich coming from a pathetic little man.

[astralnight @karmicghost]

@Heccles94 A yougov poll isn't a majority. It's a tiny sample of about 2,000 people. 20 million may disagree for all we know.

@martindvz No chance!

@DavidPintoD Another example of why Liebour are finished. So much drivel in his tweet it's embarrassing.

@RejoinP All 3 of you will have a nice walk I'm sure.

@LondonEconomic I agree with Reform here. Potholes before parades.

@MikeTappTweets Cry harder, loser.

[astralnight @karmicghost]

@LibDems He is going to be our next prime minister and you will be powerless to stop it. Reform is a far superior party to lib dumb. You lot practically bankrupted Devon County Council as your lot are so incompetent.
