Today is polling day.

I really need your support.

There are around 15 candidates standing in Pelsall today, which means the vote will be heavily split. In reality, the 3 elected councillors could win on very low numbers.

That means every single vote genuinely matters.

Local election turnout is usually low, often around 30%, and that’s how the same parties continue to dominate year after year.

You have 3 votes, and you do not have to use them all.

You can still support your usual party while using one vote for someone local, approachable and hardworking who genuinely cares about Pelsall.

Or, if you want to make a clear statement for local community politics over party politics, you can simply walk in and vote for me alone.

Please get out and vote today.

I haven’t been about much today as I’ve been at work — like many people across Brownhills, bills still need paying.

But over the past months I’ve given everything I can to this campaign and to our town. I’ve listened to residents, pushed for change, and stood up for Brownhills because I genuinely care about where we live.

If you want someone who understands real life, works hard, and will keep fighting for our town long after today, I’d be honoured to have your vote.

Polling stations are open until 10pm.

Let’s put Brownhills first. Vote AdvanceUK

🚨 Walsall Council sent enforcement to confiscate our gazebo…

after 17.30pm on a Wednesday night.

A bold stand. Against… a gazebo.

They thought if they took the tent,
they’d take the voice.

But here’s the problem…

Freedom doesn’t fold.
It doesn’t pack down.
And it definitely doesn’t wait for office hours.

So take the gazebo if you must.

Just know this

We’ll be back.
Louder.
Still standing.

Because you can’t confiscate a community.

And you certainly can’t silence one.

🚨💪 Out in Pelsall the weekend with some brilliant local people, and the support really does speak for itself.

Pelsall People here are not buying into the “vote split” scare stories, MSM lies. They know exactly what they are doing. They have seen the work, they know who shows up, and they know Jade Chapman has not changed. Her values and principles have never wavered.

If anything, it is the parties that have changed, not her integrity, not her values, and not her commitment to putting local people first.

There are no gimmicks and no jumping on bandwagons, just consistent, honest work. That’s what we need. Local representation from a local person.

That is why people are backing Jade, because they trust her and they know she stands by what she says.

Pelsall deserves someone real, not someone sent in under a party label.

On May 7th, vote for the person, not the politics. Vote Jade Chapman.

Some parties are telling you:
“Vote for us to get Starmer out.”

But here’s the reality...
Even if Labour replace him… he’s still an MP.

You don’t get a general election.
You get another Labour Prime Minister.

Same party. Same direction, possibly worse. Different face....

Think of the options:
Ed Miliband
Angela Rayner
Wes Streeting
Shabana Mahmood
Andy Burnham (If he can get elected first)
Yvette Cooper

It's going to be like sh****g your pants but changing your shirt.

Remember... there is no general election expected until 2029. We have local elections in 2027 and 2028.

Think long term.

Why was Brownhills so successful where so many other “flag campaigns” efforts have struggled to get councils onside?

In Brownhills, a full town display went up first — gaining attention and positive media coverage — before Walsall Council got in touch afterwards.

So what made the difference here — and how did it turn from a community-led display into something the council was willing to support?

The Brownhills display stood out because it wasn’t framed as a political flashpoint—it was framed as a community and heritage project, and that makes a huge difference when dealing with councils.

Here’s what likely set it apart:

1. It was positioned as civic pride, not protest

Brownhills is under Walsall Council. The key difference is tone.
Where some other “flag campaigns” efforts are seen as politically charged or confrontational, Brownhills’ display was presented as:

* Celebrating national identity
* Marking occasions (like remembrance or civic events)
* Enhancing the town centre visually

Councils are far more receptive when something looks like place-making rather than activism.



2. Local buy-in came first

Successful cases almost always start bottom-up, not top-down:

* Local councillors were approached early
* Businesses and residents were visibly supportive
* It didn’t look like an external campaign being imposed

If councillors feel their own voters want it, they’re much safer backing it.



3. It avoided controversy triggers

Other attempts often fail because councils worry about:

* Complaints escalating into media issues
* Associations with national political movements
* Risk of being seen as excluding parts of the community

Brownhills seems to have sidestepped this by keeping it:

* Non-partisan in presentation
* Focused on shared symbols (e.g. national flags in a neutral civic context)
* Not tied to slogans or divisive messaging



4. Practicalities were handled properly

This matters more than people think:

* Clear plan for installation and maintenance
* No cost burden dumped on the council (or minimal cost)

Councils often reject proposals simply because they look like a future headache.



5. A cooperative—not confrontational—approach

Where campaigns fail, it’s often because they:

* Pressure councils publicly
* Frame rejection as “anti-patriotic”
* Turn it into a culture-war issue

That forces councils to dig in. Brownhills appears to have done the opposite:

* Quiet engagement
* Compromise where needed
* Let councillors take ownership of the idea



The underlying reality

Councils aren’t usually rejecting the flags themselves—they’re rejecting the risk around them:

* reputational risk
* equality/legal concerns
* political backlash

Brownhills worked because it reduced those risks to near zero.
