Danczuk is of course universally acknowledged as a great judge of character.

Forget the hype and ‘tax the rich’ yoof videos. This is the Green Party. An absolute walking clown show of catastrophic idiocy. https://t.co/rz2NYUZmpc

The Tories (blue and turquoise varieties) are doing a great job today of reminding people why they needed to be voted out.

You've got to be proud to be British when you see this - and if you're Labour be proud of that too - we've stood with Ukraine while the far right and far left appeased Putin 👇🏽🇬🇧🇺🇦🚩

Next week Southend Council will hold two extraordinary meetings, concerning the decision to close the Southend campus of the University of Essex, and the May local elections.

Absolutely fantastic Panto tonight at The Cliffs. Well done to @Rylan Ross King and all the cast. You had us in stitches! We are so lucky to have such amazing theatres in Southend!

I see the leader of Reform in Southend is defending himself against charges that Reform are stirring up hate… by generating an offensive AI video of a rival politician.

Dear lord this is pathetic. It would be easy to point out that this makes you Scrooge by analogy, but frankly even the ghosts are deserting you.

Social care isn’t just ‘wiping someone’s bum’. It is a hard, rewarding, skilled professional job. That’s why we’re delivering the first ever fair pay agreement in social care and building a care profession. This is immigration as exploitation 👇🏻 https://t.co/6LqPHNXJer

The Southend seafront New Year's Eve fireworks last year are returning for a second year. Once again there will be two FREE displays: 🎆18.00 - an earlier display to suit families with younger children. 🎆00.00 - a midnight celebration to see out 2025 and welcome in 2026.

Community cohesion is so important & needed now more than ever. After spending time privately yesterday standing in solidarity with the Jewish community, today I attended the Southend Mosque open day. It’s heartwarming to see both these communities supporting each other.

Today, the Hillsborough Law will make sure the tragic injustices and institutional failures of the past are never repeated. Margaret Aspinall, Sue Roberts, Steve Kelly and Charlotte Hennessy all lost loved ones at Hillsborough. Here are their stories.

A quick reminder : From heating stables at public expense to deleting What’s App messages which he had denied existed to a million pound plus penalty for carelessly avoiding £3.7m of tax - ex Chancellor Nadhim Zahawi’s missteps.

While everyone is talking about property and tax... @RobertJenrick admitted to unlawfully approving a housing development, in order for the developer (tory donor) to avoid £40m in tax. And yet, he's still there in Westminster. Seemingly untouchable. https://t.co/4y91ypwLy0

I will never forget Liz Truss unsure if France was friend or foe. Nor will I forget Sunak leaving early on the D Day ceremony. Thank goodness things have moved on since then. Thank you Sir Keir Starmer.

Let's clear this up The map labelled "1976" is actually from 2022 Even if you take the max temperature that year (35.9°C), it's still 4.4 less than the max temperature in 2022 (40.3°C) Climate change denial relies on disinformation like this 👇

Kemi Badenoch (obviously 😉) 👇👇👇👇

Baroness Casey "It was absolutely right that the Prime Minister Keir Starmer got a grip of this. He couldn't have announced an inquiry just because people were shouting that they suddenly wanted one. He wanted to wait and review the evidence first"

We will forever owe an enormous debt to the British and allied forces who landed in Normandy 81 years ago today. As we reset the nation’s contract with those who serve, we will continue to remember all those who served to defend our values.
