#WestBerks independent investigator concludes clr Ross Mackinnon, Tory opposition leader, breaks Code of Conduct.
Brings office into disrepute, fails to act with respect, & deliberately disclosed confidential info.
Position must now be untenable.

There's no place for this behaviour. In private sector it would most likely lead to prompt disciplinary action, if not dismissal.
What action will the @Conservatives party take of this councillor & recently #ReadingWest PPC? @rdgchronicle

If @RossMackinnonWB had any humility he would issue a formal unreserved apology to those impacted and offer to reimburse the council, from his council pay/allowance, the unnecessary costs incurred.

The independent investigation also discovered that Lynne Doherty, former Tory leader, used public resources to conduct a smear campaign and developed a toxic atmosphere across WBC.

Hohum .. the Tory Brexit benefits keep on coming ....
Face scans, fingerprinting, and visa forms all needed for future UK->EU entry.

"All of this is since Brexit.. Like a different queue for passports.. Having stamps for entry and exit"
8 years after Brexit and 'project fear' warned that leaving the EU would make the UK a third party country subject to third party rules, BBC News finally explains that leaving the EU has consequences for UK travellers to the EU

What did the EU ever do for us? Visa needed to visit Europe from next summer bit.ly/4cCjh2K surprised? I wasn’t ‘from summer 2025 you will need to pay for a visa waiver to visit an EU country’ was definitely on my June 2016 ballot paper. Just below ‘take back control’.

Labour have been in office for barely six weeks and they've resolved doctors strikes and rail strikes 👏
It increasingly looks like the Conservative party manufactured industrial disputes in the public sector which impoverished millions, and was also used as a tool for a culture war - shame on them
Thank you to everyone who did not vote Conservative/Reform in the past election 🙏

Doubling of house build across #WestBerkshire will be very challenging.
Why would a #Conservatove's PPC for the area first comment be a unprompted snide remark. Thankfully he wasn't elected.

Let me make it simple for you Ross.
You've made repeated allegations that I said that I had extraordinary evidence to stop the Local Plan.
Provide the source of this allegation or shut up.

With riots around the country, I've reached out to local mosques & community groups. Thanks for the many messages of support & concern from our community. I want to reassure everyone that we're united in our commitment to safety, respect, & inclusivity. #CommunityUnity #Newbury

It's a start - @thameswater fined, but £104m fine vs. £154m shareholder payouts? Outrageous. I will continue to put pressure on @Ofwat, @DefraGovUK & more. With 561 sewage spills in Newbury last year, we need action & accountability. #EndSewageScandal
