It was an honour to lay a wreath in honour of those who gave so much for our country.
A moving moment to stand with our community, reflecting on the courage and sacrifice of all who served, & continue to serve, for our freedom.
We will remember them 🌹

❗I don’t oppose the existence of #HMOs. They play a vital role in #housing students, key workers, and professionals priced out of other options.
👉🏾But when too many pop up too fast in one area, without thought for #community balance, issues follow. And people are right to be concerned.

The conversation about immigration has taken a sinister turn. It’s no longer just about policy; it’s about race.
I won’t stand for it. We can’t let hate and division decide who belongs in Britain. This country is stronger, kinder, and better than that 🇬🇧 #immigration #race #sarahpochin #british

‼️Gillingham is being overrun by HMOs... & this is why
It's shocking to see the town advertised as prime real estate for developers who want to cash in on "minimal licensing complexities"
The unrestricted development of HMOs is damaging our communities. I want to change this
