Keir Starmer may be today's acceptable face of the Labour Party, but here is the heart, soul (and future) of the Labour Party. Be careful what you wish for.

Disturbing to think that this person with such views may be elected as an MP tomorrow and sitting on the Labour benches by next week.

The new coalition Cabinet is cancelling a whole raft of public meetings with Cabinet meetings held in private with no public minutes or opportunities for the public to ask questions. Transparency & governance model of the new coalition is rolling back democratic oversight.

Great news that @GregClarkMP private members bill has been selected for consideration by Parliament. Please see page 2 of the TW Times timeslocalnews.co.uk/tunbridge-well…

Very light agenda for the first TWBC Full Council of the Coalition last night finishing over an hour earlier than normal. Just 40 days in & the Coalition are admitting defeat on delivery and ability to manage council finances.

LibDems forecasting that their leadership of the TWBC may bring it into special measures Under Conservative leadership, TWBC achieved 12 consecutive clean financial audits to March 2022 - only 9% of Councils in the UK have achieved this high bar.

Rest in Peace Your Majesty.

This is a very sad time for the Country. Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II was the greatest of public servants. She gave so much to the Uk, and made me proud to be British. She will be sorely missed.

I’m standing as the Tunbridge Wells Conservatives Candidate is St John’s because at its heart local politics is about people, and the people of St John’s deserve a councillor who understands the challenges they face in 2023. See my website alexpuffette.com for my Plan For St John’s.

It was great to see that all of the Tunbridge Wells Young Conservatives’s committee are candidates this year. It is important for young people to get involved in politics and put themselves forward to stand.

Happy St George’s Day.

In St John’s, nothing is more important than the education that fellow young people receive, so instead of paying lip service, I am ready to deliver for them👇 alexpuffette.com/2023/04/23/del…

Alex Puffette (Con) who stood in St Johns which was won by Lib Dem’s and is the youngest candidate at 19. “It’s been a great experience but it was an expected result. We absolutely need more young people represented in local councils.” #tunbridgewells #LocalElection2023

Names out of a hat and the winner is…

My column in today’s Times Local News on why we need more young people involved in our local politics, and how we can make that happen.

Delighted to feature in today’s LBC For The Many Podcast, hosted by Iain Dale and Jacqui Smith, in my first media outing as Young Conservatives Coordinator for Kent. If you’re expecting a traditional interview, prepare to be surprised!

Great to host the first Tunbridge Wells Young Conservatives Talks event last night with Iain Dale and @GregClarkMP. Thanks to all who came, especially Iain and Greg for being such brilliant guests.

A pleasure to be invited to speak at a Westminster Foundation for Democracy (WFD) event in Westminster today in my role as YC Coordinator for Kent. Great to talk about my experience as a young person involved in politics, and to hear the experiences of others.

Excellent afternoon of campaigning with TheProudSussexResident in Uckfield, ahead of the Town Council by-election on Thursday (10th July). He's a local resident keen to serve local interests.

Dame Andrea Jenkyns DBE 🇬🇧 has an absolute car crash on #C4News no answers, no policies and she even ends up trying to excuse James McMurdock’s violent assault on a women because ‘it was a thing he did when he was young and drunk.’ #WomenForReform #Newsnight
