Utter bollocks. She isn’t a political prisoner, she is a criminal who incited violence, murder & criminal damage by saying that people should burn the migrant hotels down.

And SHE PLED GUILTY.

And now she has the audacity to mention free speech while failing to take responsibility for it.

It’s been a privilege to serve with her during her term in office, and she has set the bar very high indeed.

And congratulations to Cllr Pauline Hubbard on being elected as Deputy Mayor. I look forward to working with Cllr Hubbard over the next Civic Year.

…and ensure Alsager Town Council continues to be a strong voice for residents and to provide good quality local services.

Thank you to our retiring Mayor, Jane Hearne, for her amazing leadership and service.

Proud to have been elected tonight as the Mayor of Alsager.
I’m thankful to fellow councillors for placing their trust in me to be our 2nd Mayor. I hope to serve this fantastic community to the very best of my ability…

Losing one of our safest seats by 6 votes to Reform. I really feel for our fantastic candidate, Karen Shore.

This is a warning shot for us, we need to get a grip, get a plan & speed up measures in govt that are going to have a change & positive impact that people can actually feel.

He is risen.

Whether you are of faith marking this holy occasion or enjoying filling up on chocolate (or both), I wish everyone a very happy and peaceful Easter. 🐣✝️

How Vance or anyone from the Trump Administration can lecture anyone on free speech and democracy is beyond me.

They tried to overturn the 2020 presidential election, dismiss views they oppose as “fake news” or “woke”, and are siding with Putin’s regime.

Good on Starmer for correcting Vance here.

Let’s not forget benefit changes and the botched expensive move to universal credit has claimed the lives of over 120,000 people.
All while services were cut, healthcare stretched & pay stagnated over 14 years of the Tories - no wonder we are in the situation we are in now #bbcqt

John Caudwell is right - the decision by companies like BP to row back on green targets and renewables investment is catastrophic for them, the environment & the climate.

Corporate greed now is risking the future of humanity and our planet. #bbcqt

Fantastic to see the opening of the new Sainsbury’s Alsager store in my ward.
It looks fantastic & the fuel station is a welcome addition.
It’s great to see this site developed, with numerous local jobs created.

Remember to shop locally here AND in the Town Centre to support local businesses. 🛍️🛒

✅ 2 million extra NHS appointments
✅ NHS waiting lists down 4 months in a row

Labour is delivering for our NHS, achieving the manifesto pledge of 2 million extra appointments early & continuing to bring waiting lists down, so you & your family can get seen quicker.

Promises made, promises kept. ✅🌹

What a strange journey Matt Goodwin is on. From academic & a scholar on right-wing populism to an apologist for authoritarians, anti-democrats & demagogues making the case for Trump, Putin & appeasement. Some defender of 'national sovereignty.' #bbcqt

Let’s not forget who closed immigration centres, stoped the quick turnaround of asylum claims, sacked many specialists within the Home Department (just as they were gutting many other govt departments), and closed down all the legal routes?

The Conservatives 2010-2024.

#bbcqt

Desperate people, human beings, fleeing war or persecution, being exploited, risking their lives in the channel to get here only to face hatred from certain sections of our society deserve a far better descriptor than “illegals”.
This debate on immigration and small boats needs switching up. #bbcqt

Thank god Matthew Goodwin wasn’t around during the start of the Second World War, he’d have given Germany everything on their terms, just like he is defending Trump giving in to Putin re negotiations over Ukraine. #bbcqt

Great to have been out in my ward yesterday with the fantastic @sarahrussellmp.bsky.social discussing local and national concerns as well as talking about what the Labour Government is doing to invest in our roads.

Thanks to everyone who's contacted me about MyCWA and domestic abuse support in Cheshire East. I've written to the local authority to raise my concerns and I wanted to share that letter with you.

What an extraordinary sight when the USA bids farewell to a man who spent much of his career and life standing up to stop violence against women & girls, and then welcomes in as President a sex pest and a criminal…

Kemi Badenoch’s comments on the grooming gangs show her to be incapable of doing the job she currently holds and unfit for the one she seeks:

Happy 1st birthday to this furry four legged little sh*t. Don’t know what we’d do without him.
Happy Birthday Max! 🎉🐾

BBC basically sitting unchallenged on Christmas Day, absolutely owning it. The politicians who like to speak about how irrelevant it is in an age of Netflix might want to take a moment to reflect.
