‼️ It's Official ‼️ The Daily Mirror predicts I will win here by a whisker. But I am fighting for every vote, to make sure Ashfield and Mansfield gets real service and action. Do not waste your vote - Labour cannot win here.

To all #TV & #radio #political presenters & journalists: You really have to raise your game in questioning & scrutinising what leading politicians are saying during this #GeneralElection up to the #4thJuly . Example: what exactly is @RachelReeves' plan that she mentions?

After 39 minutes, it seems #ManUtd are playing the #Conservatives B side, to go 2 up. #FACUP24 #FACupFinal #MUFC

Proud to be out with the incredible independent team in Kirkby today! We're talking to local residents and getting a fantastic response. It's amazing to see the community so engaged and supportive. Let's keep up the great work! 💪 #Community #TeamWork #Kirkby

Yesterday, during the debate of No Confidence at #Notts CC, I made the point that #Notts residents are living under a #zombie Govt, a dead Government walking, whilst we wait for the #PrimeMinister to call a #GeneralElection . Let the people decide!

Agent Natalie Elphicke MP has been an inspired 'double agent' defection from the Conservatives to the Labour Party. My experience on doorsteps is it has been a disaster for Keir Starmer & could even help the #Tories to recover from sub-20% polling to put them back in the game.

'Don't ask, just don't ask'

Why aren't the media talking about this bit of the local elections? 👇

Candidates on shoe string budgets beating well funded campaigns, from the established parties, making up more than a third of the seats that changed hands at the local elections.

Greens and Indies cleaned up

Well, not the election result I was after but I am still incredibly proud to have represented those looking for a fresh independent voice in politics.

There are definitely questions to ask about how the election was run by Nottingham City Council. Very late delivery of the

The case for electoral reform is overwhelming.

ELECTORAL REFORM is the elephant in the room. The increasing evidence of voters moving away from the 2 big Parties, means First Past The Post is no longer the ideal voting model for future elections. Times Politics Times Radio LBC Electoral Reform Society The Spectator

Good results for independents and greens in council elections. Really big proportionate increase for both. Well done to those elected. People switching on to fact that independents can and do deliver for their local communities. LGA Independent Group will have an even stronger voice!

Dear BBC News (UK), BBC News (UK)night can you acknowledge the excellent performance of #Independents & other non-Party new Councillors, as a collective group, not just highlighting the big Parties in your verbal comments. Your ticker tape running totals show Inds right up with Lab.

It is election day!! Make sure your voice is heard!
Today we have a real opportunity to put Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire back on the map and onto the path of a brighter future. So if you want a mayor who can:
- Fix our roads
- Improve public transport, including active travel
-

Having watched a debate, read the leaflets and seen the social media clips I’ll be voting for the Independent Cllr Matthew Relf MIET FRSA as the East Midland’s first Mayor. Detailed policies here mattformayor.uk but just 15 seconds👇should convince you he’d be excellent in the role

During this campaign I have been asked about my thoughts and opinions on the many areas of responsibility the mayor will have and the influence the mayor can bring. I have also been asked about my opinion on things outside of the direct power and influence the mayor will have.

Shocking!

It has been another busy day out on the campaign trail, talking to people across the region. This afternoon I dropped into Uni of Nottingham #WeAreUoN for an interview for University of Nottingham Students' Union coverage of the election helping students decide who to vote for, many voting for the first time. Engagement in

On the 2nd May we have an opportunity to transform our region or to have a missed opportunity. Political parties have left this country in a mess. It is time for positive change by electing people on their merits and not based on their party badge. I am the only candidate with
