Still a long way to go. Early indications are for the #Eastbourne results to come in between 3am and 5am. Should have a better idea in a couple of hours. #GeneralElection2024

Considering the further revelations that have come to light, and given that the integrity of Parliament must be upheld, on behalf of my constituents of Hastings and Rye I am no longer able to support Boris Johnson as Leader of the Conservative Party and Prime Minister.

More than a third of a neighbourhood police team's resource last year was allocated to a single address in Hastings, a court is hearing. Sussex Police is hearing an application for a closure order on the one bedroom flat, which has become a venue for drug dealing and violence
