ITV’s investigation is sickening. Reform councillors calling Muslims “parasites”, Black children “animals” and discussing forced deportations. These are elected representatives, not anonymous internet trolls. The “few bad apples” excuse simply doesn’t wash. Where is the accountability? itv.com/news/2026-10-14/insi… – at Thurston, England

Trump wants Zelenskyy replaced while America buys Russian diesel. Let’s be absolutely clear: Putin invaded Ukraine, not the other way around. You don't achieve peace by punishing the victim and bankrolling the aggressor. Ukraine's future belongs to Ukrainians. Not Trump. Not Putin. theguardian.com/politics/202… – at Thurston, England

Disappointing to be left on hold for over half an hour by @LBC after they called me this morning.. they then said they'd call me back to talk about NEETS.. they never called me back! – at Thurston, England

The death of Jason Arday is deeply sad, and the circumstances surrounding it should give us all pause. The scale of the media onslaught he faced was extraordinary. The Times and Sunday Times reportedly published around 44 articles about him, the Telegraph 43 and the Daily Mail around 38 - with many more across other national outlets. Whatever the rights and wrongs of the original story, we have to ask whether this level of coverage was really proportionate. Behind every headline is a human being. – at Thurston, England

A 2% wealth tax on assets above £10 million would affect only a tiny fraction of the population, while campaigners estimate it could raise around £24 billion a year for public services. That's a debate worth having. – at Thurston, England

Devastating news from Berlin Pride. My thoughts are with everyone affected. Pride should always be a place of safety, love and solidarity. 🏳️‍🌈 #BerlinPride bbc.co.uk/news/live/c3r2nz9e… – at Thurston, England

Roads are melting. Schools are fighting for funding. Social care is under pressure. Yet Reform has found £18,500 to refurbish the Council Leader's office. Priorities matter. Suffolk deserves better. suffolknews.co.uk/bury-st-ed… – at Thurston, England

Another reminder that the Greens aren't an alternative government. Their support has fallen again in this poll, while Labour continues to close the gap on Reform. If you want progressive change delivered, that means building support where it can actually make a difference. – at Thurston, England

I spoke on LBC today about what the people of Clacton actually deserve from their MP. Nigel Farage was elected to represent the people of Clacton, not use them as a prop for his next political stunt. Being an MP means helping constituents, standing up for your community, and getting on with the job - not chasing headlines and threatening more chaos.. – at Thurston, England

Village life in the UK! 🇬🇧 Took the drone up this evening, and the village looked like something from a postcard! #Suffolk – at Thurston, England

Today, I was on the radio discussing the rise in homophobia across Suffolk. A small number of people have felt emboldened to intimidate LGBTQ+ people and other minority groups. We must call this out and push for greater education, awareness, and understanding. #LGBTQ – at Thurston, England

Reform claim to be the party of free speech, but some of their members are cheering on and encouraging the intimidation and censorship of political opponents. If you resort to bullying and censorship, then you've lost the argument. This behaviour is completely unacceptable. – at Thurston, England
