I've written to Southern Water on emergency measures should Medway's water supply be affected.

It's about ensuring Medway residents don't get caught up like the chaos from South East Water.

Business groups urge peers to pass UK employment rights bill Flagship legislation delayed after Tories and cross-benchers in the Lords joined forces to thwart proposals for unfair dismissal

Tory Lord's interests or ordinary families' interests?

It's high time we have an elected upper chamber in Parliament.

Crackdown on illegal e-bikes now!

It's illegal and dangerous to use an e-bike on pavements.

Weak statements from the UK Government aren't enough. Jimmy Lai is a British Citizen who gave opportunities to young aspiring journalists.

On Democracy, we must recognise those who takes the last stand for freedom and end impunity for crimes against journalists .

Mere words of concerns from the UK gov aren't enough where it comes to British citizen Jimmy Lai who's facing political imprisonment in HK.

The UK Gov needs action to end impunity on prosecution of journalists who often took the very last stand reporting from the ground - & that's important

Absolutely heartbreaking, it is now deep into the night in HK. Reports indicate casualties have risen and more than 2000 families are affected. Housing estates in HK are where most of us live in.

My prayers are will everyone in HK.

There is no doubt that Russia and #China shares their ego to engage in espionage in UK Parliament and malign influence to disfranchise our democracy.

The Prime Minister's imminent approval to the super China Embassy will give Beijing power.

President Trump may never understand, but Keir Starmer and his cabinet should know that Russia under the likes of Putin is always going to be hostile towards democracy.

President Xi is testing by using Putin. And just like the warring states strategyγ€ŒεΎ—ε―Έι€²ε°Ίγ€, they will never stop their hunger.

BREAKING ‼️
The Govt has just confirmed that Hong Kongers with a BNO passport will still qualify for settlement after 5 years.
I know how much this will mean to so many people - and will be received with a huge sigh of relief.
Proud that our campaign has paid off and the Govt has listened to us!

Trans Murder Monitoring 2025 reveals new trend in anti-trans violence: Systematic targeting of activists and movementΒ  leaders - TGEU - Trans Europe and Central Asia New global data Trans Murder Monitoring 2025 reveals a dangerous shift: a growing number of murder victims are trans movement leaders and activists.

2/2🧡No campaigners should've to advocate in fear. For this year's transgender day of Remembrance, I'd like to focus on the systematic targeting of activists and movement leaders in their campaign on transgender awareness.

1/2🧡 Both populists and authoritarians seek to marginalise in their effort to disharmonise our social fabrics to dismantle our trust in democracy.

My belief is simple: Free to be who you are, for prejudice and hostility strokes the very tension those who seek to dismantle our democracy wants.

Kamran rightly speaks against Labour’s use of migrants as sacrificial pieces in hope to swing votes. When populist rise, it's progressive's burden to be fair. Speak on the integration and contribution from migrants. Otherwise, it's mirroring those who seek to disfranchise democratic participation.

With the second MI5 Security Warning on that Chinese spies are meddling with our democracy and institutions including the UK Parliament, it's a clear cut case to say NO to the Chinese Super Embassy in London.

Government must take action on MI5's second security warning on China's meddling with UK democracy:
- Place China onto the enhanced tier of FIRS
- Allow our elected representatives to scrutinise the China Audit and learn the complexity of the UK-China relationship, Britain’s interests and position.

Labour's asylum policy on periodical review will
a) increase backlog,
b) more administration,
c) endanger political dissidents and opens the UK to malign foreign assertions

The root causes are Home Office's inability to process cases and lack of treaties following Brexit. So fix the root causes!

Labour should stop acting like the radical "There Go the People".

Flying kites to test views on preference for the Budget is as appallingly cynical as it is inept.

Troubled town centre pharmacy to reopen under new management Pharmacy bosses have said they are committed to reopening a Kent branch after acquiring it in a nationwide takeover.

It's welcoming the former Jhoots pharmacy at Rainham town centre gets a new lease of life. Maybe Council's support can be:

- persuading new owners to give unemployed staff a priority
- a grace period for free parking and going to the pharmacy and shops

Trying to outsmarting Reform will only lose our core values. But we can build trust by sharing & engaging our beliefs.

Why are 1st gen migrants least likely to vote? Today, they see the wrong focus on immigration rather than engaging fresh talents on housing, benefit reform and democracy like D66.

This remembrance day, we come together to honour all who served. The Commonwealth share a history where we defended and contributed together.

Their sacrifice will never be forgotten.🌺 It is now our duty to protect the shared values of democracy, human rights and the rule of law.
