Great morning hitting doorsteps with Rochford District Conservatives supporting the amazing Danielle Belton. Residents disgusted to hear the newly elected Reform UK councillor stood down after only 4 days costing tax-payer £35,000 in unnecessary costs.

It’s a scorcher today! Thank you to Anna Firth and the team for coming out to support me 😊

The morning session’s done, now for a quick bite and a drink at the Travellers Joy, Rayleigh before getting back out this afternoon ☀️

🗳️Vote Reform UK or Green & you get Labour!❗️It is unbelievable that Labour came a poor 4th in the local elections, behind the Greens, the Conservatives and Reform UK, yet we continue to have a Labour council. A vote for any other Party other then the Conservatives locally simply delivers higher taxes, more building on the Greenbelt, less support for businesses and higher regulation. Disaster👇🏻👇🏻

About last night’s Council meeting… 👀

Vote Reform or Green it doesn’t matter, you still get Labour.

Labour lost the Southend City Council elections. So, last night we forced a vote against their leadership of the Council. But it’s only due to the Greens and Reform that they clung on.

Actions speak louder than words, and last night’s meeting showed that.

🥀It is with immense sadness that I report that my dear and wonderful mother, Peggy, or Peg to her friends, finally lost her battle with pancreatic cancer yesterday. She has battled so hard and been so brave over the last 10 months and I feel extremely privileged and grateful to have been able to care for her right up until the very end. She was the kindest, most generous person you could ever meet, and her boundless energy and indominable, positive spirit shone through right up until the end.
A total force of nature, mum threw her heart and soul into everything and everyone she touched. An inspirational school teacher, mum, Magistrate and PhD, my mother realised the power of an excellent education, especially for girls, long before “tiger mums” were even a concept! She was also a talented artist, gardener, as well as being a huge animal lover. Always rescuing cats, birds, rabbits, reptiles and fish, our house was often more like a mini animal rescue centre than a home! And, of course, she was the most wonderful Grandma & role model to my three, and my brother’s, four children.

☀️Quite simply, mum always brought the sunshine into our lives and I count myself lucky that it shone on all of us for so many years.

Finally, as a daughter of a Royal Navy veteran and a great patriot, I know it would have given her huge pleasure to have finally bowed out on VE day! 🇬🇧

✝️Rest in peace Mum and rise in glory. Always loved, never forgotten.

🙏🏻A big thank you to all the Doctors and Nurses at the PRU Hospital, Orpington and Sonia McPherson and her brilliant team of District Nurses who cared for her so well in her final weeks at home. Thank you also for all the wonderful messages of love & support which are so appreciated.

💯!!! As Dr Shaw is my GP, I can personally vouch for how good he is & what a brilliant councillor I believe he would be. Also, his expertise would be invaluable on the City council.

🗳️🤞🏻GOOD LUCK TO YOU ALL 🤞🏻🗳️

Wishing all my brilliant Conservative colleagues who are standing in the elections for a seat on Southend City Council tomorrow, all the very best of luck tomorrow. 💙

I have worked & campaigned alongside everyone of them & I can honestly say they are all outstanding. In particular, they are all great team players and very committed to supporting their communities.

In these uncertain times you need good people who you can trust to put you, your family, your community & Southend first. I can personally vouch that every single Conservatives candidate will do this.

Above all, remember, local elections are all about what will happen locally!

Yesterday there was a vote in the House of Commons on whether Sir Kier Starmer should be referred to the Privileges Committee for misleading Parliament in relation to the statements he made to Parliament in relation to the appointment of Mandelson.

That Sir Keir Starmer did mislead Parliament has been shown clearly by the evidence given before the Foreign Affairs select committee by Sir Ollie Robbins & yesterday by Sir Philip Barton, firstly in relation to saying due process was followed (it plainly wasn’t) and, secondly, in relation to saying no pressure was put on the FCDO by No10 when both witnesses said it plainly was.

Yesterday, every Labour MP faced a matter of conscience. Back Sir Keir Starmer’s cover up, or allow Parliament to seek the truth in the same way the privileges committee investigated Boris Johnson in 2022.

It is very disappointing that David Burton-Sampson MP voted to allow his hypocritical, incompetent Leader to avoid the scrutiny he so vociferously called for against Boris Johnson in 2022.

Despite all his faults, unlike “Mr Rules” Starmer, Boris did not oppose the referral to the privileges committee, nor did he whip any of his MP’s or Government ministers to oppose the referral. The vote went through on the “nod” ie no Conservative MP, like me, voted against, as we could all see that such a referral was warranted.

Sir Keir Starmer’s behaviour in a) refusing to correct the record & b) whipping his MP’s to save his own skin is disgraceful & David’s acquiescence with Starmer’s cover up is shameful & lets us all down.

Just another sheep supporting an incompetent shepherd. If Starmer had nothing to hide, why not agree to the referral like Boris did & avoid putting all his MP’s in the invidious position of looking like complete clowns in front of their constituents?
