Brilliant service at the Chelmsford Mayoral Civic Service this afternoon. It was a pleasure to be in attendance representing the residents of Basildon, as their @reformparty_uk Mayor.

Champagne socialists.
Respect to Lewis as a Formula 1 driver but he can lead by example and start by giving most of his £400million wealth away Until then… zip it
Community note
In order to avoid tax, Lewis Hamilton lives in Monaco and Switzerland. He also used a corporate leasing structure to save over £3 million in taxes when buying his £16 million private jet in 2013. x.com/exRAF_Al/statu…

As @reformparty_uk Mayor, there are some events that mean more than others. This month, Basildon will honour our Armed Forces community with a flag raising ceremony, a veterans job fair and a parade through the town centre featuring over 100 veterans and cadets.

One day @CharlieSansom will do some basic Math and realise that you cannot run a Council successfully with 11 out of 42 seats.
I believe Sam Journet (@ReformUKSam) is a fantastic campaigner - much better than I first gave him credit for - but are you now wondering if voting for him was worth it?

For years, SEND families have been frustrated and forced to wait for the help they need, that stops today. Essex can become the best county in Britain for SEND, and @reformparty_uk is going to make it happen.

Educating Essex? This man should be Educating England. A real privilege to meet @vicgoddard today, star Headteacher of TV series “Educating Essex”, Passmores School, in Harlow. If every school had a Vic Goddard, we’d be in a much better place.

For too long, some Councillors thought shouting across the chamber was a substitute for making an argument. Not anymore, order is back under @reformparty_uk and residents will FINALLY hear what their elected representatives have to say.

Pride in our country should NEVER be controversial. As @reformparty_uk Mayor of Basildon, I’m proud to be bringing the National Anthem and this tradition to the chamber, and help restore a sense of civic pride in our borough. God Save The King.

SEND is personal to me. Inspectors recognised that residents are at the heart of what we do, but good is not good enough when families need the very best. @reformparty_uk will make Essex the leading SEND provision in the country.

First Full Council as @reformparty_uk Essex County Council Cabinet Member for Education, SEND and Skills. This matters to me personally and I’m looking forward to the year ahead.

Our high street is becoming soulless, enough is enough. @reformparty_uk Basildon will be the FIRST in the country to bring forward a motion to tackle the saturation of vape shops and barbers. It’s time to SAVE OUR HIGH STREET.

A huge thank you to everyone who attended Dementia Help Day at the George Hurd Centre last week. 1 in 3 people born in the UK today will develop dementia. That’s why raising awareness, supporting each other and bringing services together is so important.

A star was born at Full Council… Cllr David Abrahall. @reformparty_uk stepped up and acted responsibly to make sure Basildon could function, BUT, we’ve got red lines. We’ll support what’s right, block what isn’t, and make sure our own policies get across the line too.

I am extremely disappointed that this Labour Government has SCRAPPED a new Primary School with vital SEND provision for 420 students. @reformparty_uk & Essex County Council have written to Government directly to challenge the decision.

The boy from Basildon… became the YOUNGEST Mayor of Basildon. I am deeply honoured, and will do everything I can to make residents feel proud of this borough again. @reformparty_uk will bring back civic pride.
