Farage's Reform has pledged to rip up legal protections for workers and renters - handing power to bad bosses and rogue landlords.

The planned attacks include:

• Taking sick pay, bereavement leave, and pregnancy protections off millions of workers.
• Legalising fire-and-rehire and workplace discrimination.
• Reintroducing "no-fault" evictions and reducing limits on rent increases.

A wonderful exhibition opened today in Cheadle showcasing some of the most influential yet unsung women from across the Moorlands.

The exhibition has been put together by local photographer and artist Ruby Nixon, commissioned by OUTSIDE and is on display at Wellspring Methodist Church on Chapel Street.

Do go and have a look and learn about some of the lady's that make it such a wonderful place!

Glad that this Cllr has been suspended from the Party. Interesting that the new Reform leader called the comments "unacceptable"

To all those that claimed there was nothing wrong, do you still think the same?

Yet more evidence of racism within the Staffordshire County Council ReformUK group.

Cllr Dean thinks that black people have a chip on their shoulders, loves Tommy Robinson and misses the previous County Leader who also had to resign for holding racist views.

Staffordshire's third reform leader Martin Murray musts stand by his word and "act swiftly, correctly and severely" and throw this person out of his group.

Back in December and January I asked our local ReformUK councillors to condemn this sort of behaviour and was met with silence. I asked them if they would try and root out this sort of bigotry and was met with silence.

I do not believe anymore that they wouldn't know that some of their colleagues hold these views, and by remaining silent, they too are complicit.

Enough is enough.
