🚪 Really good to be out knocking on doors in Lee Chapel North this morning, listening to residents and hearing firsthand how they feel about the Budget 💷 and the state of our local council.
Three things are clear:
1️⃣ People like Burnham. 👍
2️⃣ People feel duped that they voted Reform and got the Billericay Tories. 🤦♂️
3️⃣ They’re voting Labour next May. 🌹🗳️

In the past four weeks alone, Basildon Reform UK leader @ReformUKSam has:
1️⃣Faced more than 50 code of conduct complaints alleging bullying and harassment, around half reportedly from council officers not even members of the public or councillors.
2️⃣Targeted the former chief executive on X after news of his new job became public.
3️⃣Claimed a councillor had been arrested and cautioned over death threats, despite police confirming that no such arrest took place.
4️⃣Claimed a Councillor was being evicted for owing £30,000 in unpaid rent which was a lie and led to the individual receiving vile racist abuse.
5️⃣Targeted a Councillor online that led to an onslaught of abusive messages that led that councillor to attempting to take her own life.
6️⃣Suggested another councillor had stolen council money and was about to be arrested, after earlier claims of an arrest that police also said had not happened.
7️⃣Used social media posts to link a 62-year-old former teaching assistant Councillor to a child abuse allegation involving a different person, who was 33 and based elsewhere.
8️⃣Raised serious questions about whether he approaches planning decisions with an open mind and has been told repeatedly that he is acting unlawfully at the committee.
9️⃣Refused to do a DBS check for months.
🔟Created a toxic culture of fear around his Group, the officers and the council.
These are grave matters. So why has @reformparty_uk still not suspended Sam Journet while they are investigated?
This guy has been thrown own but the whole local government sector knows that the worst councillor in the country is Sam Journet.

It’s official, Basildon.
We’ve elected Britain’s wokest Reform Councillor.
I wonder what @Nigel_Farage thinks about Basildon Reform demanding we pay for Diversity and Inclusion training. All so we can understand why their local leader screams in the faces of female officers🤦🏻♂️
9am this morning, 1hr meeting at the highest level with the CEO & Monitoring Officer.
We laid it out, the abuse of Reform must END, officers to get neurodivergence training & a framework to MAKE BASILDON GREAT AGAIN.
If Labour refuse, the villains are visible.

She is from South Ockenden. She was educated at Southend High School for Girls.
She is 19 years old. She has kept England in the competition twice now.
She is Michelle Agyemang, and she is one of our own.

London. A meaningful and warm meeting with Prime Minister @Keir_Starmer.
During our talks, we discussed the challenges facing Ukraine and all of Europe, coordination with partners, concrete steps to strengthen Ukraine’s position, and ending the war with a just peace, along with robust security guarantees.
A principled statement of support from the Prime Minister and an important decision: today, in our presence, Ukraine and the United Kingdom signed a Loan Agreement. This loan will enhance Ukraine’s defense capabilities and will be repaid using revenues from frozen Russian assets. The funds will be directed toward weapons production in Ukraine. This is true justice – the one who started the war must be the one to pay.
I thank the people and government of the United Kingdom for their tremendous support from the very beginning of this war. We are happy to have such strategic partners and to share the same vision of what a secure future should look like for all.
🇺🇦🇬🇧

Putting power back into local communities is a priority of mine and of this government.
Our government’s desire is to take power out of Westminster and give it back to local communities, while working with local councils collaboratively to achieve better outcomes for the communities they serve.

I’ve just announced the creation of the Education Essentials Grant in Basildon. Similar to the old EMA, we are offering a grant of £15 a week to 16-19 year olds from households with a parent on UC to help with travel, food and books. Available from Jan 1st.

100 days ago the Labour Party won the Basildon Council elections.
The Council we inherited was a mess. It lacked leadership, direction and purpose.
We’ve spent the last 100 days changing it. Here’s what we’ve been up to… #BelieveInBasildon

The state of the roads and number of potholes is a frequent conversation with residents across South Basildon and East Thurrock.
This is caused by a lack of Conservative investment.
Time for change with @UKLabour

The next Labour government will not sit on its hands while tens of thousands of people languish on hidden mental health waiting lists.
With @Keir_Starmer as Prime Minister, we will give people the support they need.
