A once great outdoor centre sold off by Izzi Seccombe, Peter Butlin and Ian Budd at Warwickshire County council & all done behind closed doors #tellthetruth

Joined December 2020
Marle Hall had been closed and sold off by @CllrSeccombe, @cllrbutlin, @JeffMor22146735 & @Mfog @Warwickshire_CC refuse to release documents relating to the closure and continue to hide the truth. This is the attitude towards our children education, this is the Warwickshire way

Further disgrace falls on WCC at the hands of @CllrSeccombe. Once again protecting her own over residents

Hey @DamianHinds 👋 Saw you last night on #BBCQT and noticed you didn't mention the 70% of schools with less funding than in 2010, or the fact that your Government missed teacher recruitment targets by 50% last year. An oversight perhaps? #GE2024 #ValueEducation
✅ Over 10,800 academies, up from around 200 under Labour ✅ 90% of schools rated good or outstanding, up from 68% under Labour ✅ International rankings for maths and reading up to 11th and 13th from 27th and 25th under Labour That's what the @Conservatives deliver.

He’s gone! Nadhim refused to help the children of Warwickshire over Marle Hall but preferred to support his Tory friends in Shire Hall. His alliances have been clear to see and it’s not the people of Stratford-on-Avon for sure
Parliament has now been dissolved, marking the end of my time as a Member of Parliament Serving the people of Stratford-on-Avon since 2010 has been both an honour & a privilege I extend my heartfelt thanks to everyone who put their faith in me & gave me the opportunity to serve

I have just found out that Cllr Golby was unseated by a SEND parent 👏👏
Replying to @ElissaNoves
UPDATE: The recount has been finalised and Cllr Golby has officially lost her seat on the Nuneaton and Bedworth Borough Council where she acted as Deputy Leader. She remains a County Cllr and has yet to face any party discipline for her comments about SEND families.

Outdoor education can help build resilience in young people which will support their mental health. Today I asked the Minister for Schools if he would back my bill which would give every young person in England the opportunity to go on an outdoor education residential visit.

The thing is with these MPs is they are too focused on protecting there own rather than representing constituents. Our own experience is testament to that
There are 5 Conservative MP's in Warwickshire - only 1 has signed. In the face of the Warwickshire SEND Scandal @Marcus4Nuneaton, @craig4nwarks, @nadhimzahawi & @MarkPawsey's silence is deafening.

Interesting point ⬇️ In 2021, Ofsted and the CQC conducted a joint SEND inspection at @Warwickshire_CC. Amongst other significant weaknesses it found "fractured relationships with parents and carers". Repairing relationships was a key part of WCC's written statement of action.
Replying to @ElissaNoves
Isn't it time OFsted etc get involved as well now. It's been two years since they were told to repair fractured relationships and now they have blown them out the water

It's little wonder that the Warwickshire County Council regime is crumbling. Cllr Timms view on replacing (sacking) their on-call firefighters being an 'opportunity' was endorsed by the portfolio holder. This was a shock to us, but we have now become used to it. @sendcrisiswarks
Today's horror meeting of Wark's Cabinet had no discussion about on-call firefighters as employees. Understandable - as they seem to think they are volunteers! Bad though for Cllr Timms to say that there was now an opportunity to bring in new people - what a slap in the face.

What a load of rubbish… @CllrSeccombe refused to engage with us during the closure of Marle Hall. She hid the truth and now she’s lying of TV. She needs to resign too along with the other 3 Cllrs
SEND campaigner Ellie Costello says the Tory whip should be withdrawn from three councillors being investigated over comments about special needs education. @Warwickshire_CC leader Izzi Seccombe doesn’t agree but says councillors are “off the committee” #PoliticsMidlands bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cv2w…

Todays statement by @CllrSeccombe shows an absolute lack of leadership during the hardest week at WCC that I have known. Protecting her own instead of putting residence first is an abuse of her position. Officers have lost all respect for her. Fresh leadership is now required

Well done to those who are driving this forward. @CllrSeccombe must listen to residents voices rather than continue to ignore them. We know from our own petition that she doesn’t listen sadly

Yes they do. They reflect badly on you and your council. Very badly. Mrs Seccombe said: "The comments have no reflection of me, my administration or this council."
FULL STORY: Dozens of protesters have gathered at Warwickshire council house after three councillors were accused of making offensive comments about SEND children. Holding placards, the campaigners stood outside Shire Hall ahead of a council meeting. 👇 bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cn0n…
