Labour’s Welfare Secretary: “Every meeting I have is who can we tax in order to pay benefits to others”

They’ve finally said out loud what everyone has known all along.

Many thanks to all who supported me on Thursday last.
It was a very tight race, but, I just managed to succeed.
Thanks to my Team David, Nick, Tom and all those who helped deliver and volunteer on the day. Thank you all.

I just want to thank everyone who took part in this year's elections and especially those that stepped out to vote for Belsey for Ratton

Our team worked extraordinarily hard, and it was wonderful to hear from so many people who recognised the effort that Colin, Nick and I put into standing up for residents.

It also proves that the Lib Dem message that you must vote Lib Dem to beat Reform just was not true.

In many places, a Lib Dem vote only helped Reform win!

Thank you to everyone across Eastbourne who participated in today's elections.

And a particularly special thank you to those who backed one of our 9 fantastic candidates.

Polls are now closed for the local elections.

To all our volunteers, canvassers, doorknockers, activists, members, supporters and voters...

Thank you!

Councillor Brett Wright, elected as Lib Dem for Meads in August 2023, has defected to the Green Party.

Cllr Robert Smart, Leader of the Conservative Opposition, said:

"The honourable course of action is clear. Councillor Wright should resign and fight a by-election under his new colours.

"This is the third resignation from the Eastbourne Liberal Democrats in less than a year, revealing a party more preoccupied with political infighting than the priorities of Eastbourne residents.

"At a time when the Council faces severe financial pressure, residents deserve better than yet another Lib Dem representative walking away from the promises they were elected on.

"It's worth noting that the Green Party polled just 3.9% at the last election in Meads. Cllr Wright has joined a party that campaigns for drug decriminalisation, abolishing NATO and open-door migration.

"Last year, when the Home Office announced plans to place hundreds of single male asylum seekers at the Esperance in the heart of Meads, it was left to Conservative councillors to oppose this. Now we know why. Cllr Wright has joined a party that actively supports these policies."

What do you think. Should Cllr Wright resign and let the people of Meads decide who represents them? 👇
