Quite timely this job advert from @suffolkcc

Oh dear. @MichaelHadwen and @reformparty_uk declared the climate emergency over right in the middle of a heat wave. Now a huge fire his own fire service described as out of control burns miles from a nuclear power plant station….@suffolkcc

Translation: I didn’t become leader of SCC to concern myself with boring things like roads and the other things county councils are actually responsible for…..that’s what the officers are for. I’ve got more important things to do.
Replying to @onlygeek
I’d imagine that you would like the experts at the highways team to handle the repair, which they will, and not me personally. I’ll get on with delivering for residents with the majority and the mandate they gave us, and doing my job of setting the Council’s strategy and representing the County.

Leader of SCC @MichaelHadwen has found the time today to tweet about Nigel Farage but perhaps he might focus his attention now on fixing the melted road surface on the A143. Sorry I know that’s boring but it’s actually your job…..

Superb political ad. One of the best you’ll see. This is better, and resonates more, than anything coming from Labour or the Tories.

No prizes for guessing where @EADT24 stand in the local elections. Amplifying Reform UK and pretending other parties don’t exist….

A reminder that it was @ReformUKSuffolk councillor Phillip Faircloth-Mutton that closed down the popular Suffolk Libraries charity. @suffolkcc isn’t responsible for immigration or other national policies. It is responsible for libraries, roads & other local services that matter.
An incredible standing room only, sold out event tonight in Suffolk. The message is clear if you want change in Suffolk you must vote Reform on 7th May!

Nothing says that Reform UK is Tory 2.0 like a Suffolk Conservative Association Chair called Philip Faircloth-Mutton that has campaigned for the Tory party over nearly two decades in the area. ipswichstar.co.uk/news/25478…

Rupert Lowe's Restore Britain party is promising to sweep 'Anti-British", "anti-white" elements out of our universities and schools. Doing so, he is copying the Nazi playbook of 1933. If you're not worried now, you should be. taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2026…

We have a very basic choice between Reform, who pretend that refugees are the reason everything is shit. Or the greens, who will actually know why everything is shit, and will try to fix it.

This is pure gas lighting. Tory led @suffolkcc literally asked for the elections to be cancelled.
'I've been very clear that these elections should go ahead.' Conservative Party leader Kemi Badenoch accuses Labour of 'bullying' councils into not holding local elections. 📺 Freeview 236, Sky 512, Virgin 604 Become a Friend of GB News: gbnews.com/friend

Well said.
.@realDonaldTrump can go f**k himself. Anyone who mocks, demeans or minimises the sacrifices of British troops is no friend of our nation 🇬🇧 The US is a historic friend of the UK’s - but not this guy.

We’ve already lost a beloved community run library service in Suffolk @SteveReedMP due to you cancelling our county council elections without considering the consequences for local people. Who knows what else the unaccountable council will do now you had given another year.
44
It astonishes me @SteveReedMP doesn’t seem to have even noticed the laughably amateur games that Matthew Hicks the leader of @suffolkcc has been playing over the elections. Make no mistake @SteveReedMP you are the “big boy that did it and ran away” for @suffolkcc @jackabbott90
28
Totally agree it is outrageous that we have an unelected county county that we are unable to hold to account. Really disappointed that @jackabbott90 seems to her gone along with this. Expected better of him although not of @suffolkcc
Replying to @SkyNews
A total disgrace that @SteveReedMP has signed off on the cancellation of elections. Democracy delayed is democracy denied. In my area of #Suffolk our last election was 2021. If elections go ahead in 2027 it will be 6️⃣ yrs since we’ve had a say 🗳️. Disgraceful.

It’s deeply ironic that @suffolkcc have chosen to name its new centrally managed library service Suffolk “community” Libraries hargrave.org.uk/suffolk-libr…

As we say farewell to Suffolk Libraries and hello to Suffolk Community Libraries my blog explores if we could see a community run library service in Suffolk again as part of local government reorganisation hargrave.org.uk/suffolk-libr… @suffolkcc
