My dream is to stand as a Cllr Candidate and do vote posters & boards. People in #MidSuffolk who know me believe I would be great as a candidate.

Where I live in Waveney Valley, I've volunteered and helped my local council. I know what people want!

I hope my dream comes true!

Jenrick could have visited Handsworth to listen to residents – he chose to pass through and make a judgement based on the colour of their skin. Instead of getting to know our nation of neighbours, he chose racism.

The Tories, Reform and Labour want to divide us.

The Greens say enough is enough.

Robert Jenrick complained of ‘not seeing another white face’ in part of Birmingham

Shadow justice secretary criticised for suggesting he could tell how integrated Handsworth was based on 90-minute visit Robert Jenrick complained about visiting an area of Birmingham where he “didn’t see another white face” and said it was not the kind of country he wanted to live in. After highlighting the lack of white people, the shadow justice secretary said it was not about “the colour of your skin or your faith” and he wanted people to live alongside each other.

Grim that Kemi Badenoch hits the airwaves and defends Jenrick's words objecting to 'not seeing another white face' during his Birmingham visit. His hard-right dogwhistle comments are divisive and wrong and make him unfit to be Shadow Justice Secretary www.theguardian.com/politics/liv...

As the world moves forwards and embraces renewable energy,

At Conference, the Tories plot to drag us back — abolishing the Climate Change Act and ‘maximising extraction’ of North Sea oil and gas.

Graphic featuring a close-up wind turbine over farmland under a cloudy sky. Headline reads: “THE WORLD MOVES FORWARD WITH RENEWABLES AS TORIES LOOK BACK.” Below is a quote from Green MP Carla Denyer: “The news that renewable energy overtook coal as the world’s leading source of electricity shows our world is moving in a cleaner, greener, healthier direction, but the Tories are plotting how they can block both people and the planet from benefitting from this transition.” Bottom shows Carla Denyer’s headsh

Or is it that I'm saying things the Telegraph doesn't want to hear?

I suggest they might want to avoid our Party Broadcast this evening!

Courageous political leadership means telling an audience what they don't want to hear. Zack Polanski will never do that.
