I am very pleased and humbled to announce that I have been appointed by @MayorRos as the Armed Forces Champion for Doncaster.

Thank you for the lovely invitation to the Deputy Mayor and myself to the Thorne OAP Centre Open Day to celebrate the upgrade to the provision following a successful National Lottery bid.
A big shout to the committee and all the volunteers for the work that they do.

I have recently taken the step to stand down as the Armed Forces for Doncaster after five years in post
Doncaster is the best place in the country for Veterans to live and is recognised as an "examplar" of good practice
Please see my announcement below

What a divisive horrible lowlife of an individual you are Farage

It is clear to everyone but @Keir_Starmer that we are living under two-tier policing in Britain.
The anger millions of us feel comes from losing trust in our justice system to treat everyone equally under the law.
A Reform government would end two-tier policing.

The standards and performance in all public services is at an all time low. Irrespective of political persuasion this incident is despicable.
It is clear to see that this individual was no threat. Incident management is extremely poor.
Urgent review

The disappointing thing is that I lost my seat to this individual
What is @Nigel_Farage going to do to address this embarrassing representation
@vicderbyshire given the circus we are experiencing nationally, when will you @BBCNewsnight interview grassroot representation

This is what people voted for...fucking hell :D
Bizarre moment Reform Councillor Kieran Lay, Thorne and Moorends Ward, asks Full Council for measures to monitor UFO activity as part of reopening Doncaster Sheffield Airport.
Step 1- Work towards cutting council tax.
Step 2- Set up a panel for UAP sightings.
Couldn't make this up... #doncasterreform #reform

As a Labour Party Member @wesstreeting does not speak for me. He does not have the support of the Labour Membership or the unions
He has triggered chaos at a time that we need stability Inexperienced, London centric, out of touch & tainted by his Mandelson links @vicderbyshire

Shabana Mahmood is one of those divise elements in Cabinet that has played a good game. You cannot be the product of the problem & then be seen to be its saviour
A timetable is a move to stop a Streeting leadership challenge. Having been part of a committee that blocked Burnham

I really think New Labour and Blarites need relieving of their duty.
Nobody is talking about Tony Blair but we all know his influence in this Labour government and his tentacles are all over Whitehall
Margaret Hodge, who was given a peerage by Keir Starmer, says there's nothing wrong with cronyism.
Hodge is currently the governments official anti corruption champion.

A very valid and authentic issue raised. The system of electing constituency MPs needs to change. It is outdated and outmoded
Every 5 years there is a requirement for panels, shortlisting and selections to be reinstated within policy not just nodded through on a wink or a nudge
Apr 21
Widespread concerns expressed in a number of constituency Labour Parties about potential vote rigging & interference in selections linked to the toxic culture of factionalism that has taken hold over the last few years. This warrants an independent inquiry bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c0q9…

Beautiful setting for the Doncaster Armed Forces Covenant Workshop Conference at the Eco Power Stadium.
A great evaluation of the fantastic support networks available for Doncaster Veterans and their families.
Showcasing why we are an examplar

Is this the standard of representation that we have come to expect in today's national politics. Pathetic

Questions would have to asked of anyone who thinks these two could run our country, economy, security, healthcare, energy, foreign policy or local government.
Just look at the state of this. National politics is in a right state

Isn't this strange... Labour Together deleted this post from X showing an LT event at 2023 Labour conference, addressed by Peter Mandelson, @jreynoldsMP and hosted by Josh Simons. This screengrab was taken two weeks ago, so only deleted since then. Would be a shame if it was shared, widely, so it never disappears.
