Out today with a simple message.
Vote Reform. Reject Craig Smith.
The Tories had their chance here. People have given their answer.
No to the Tories in NWL. Yes to Reform UK. ➡️🗳️

May’s Green Belt promise is coming back to HAUNT the Tories. They’ve U-turned at the FIRST opportunity.
We were out with candidate Denise Martin speaking to residents ahead of the Billericay by-election.
The Green Belt is becoming the defining issue on the doorstep.

Labour want me BANNED from the Planning Committee.
Reform UK will ALWAYS highlight INAPPROPRIATE development on our beautiful Green Belt.

Time to shake up the Old Boy’s Conservative Club in Billericay.
We’re delighted to announce Denise Martin as Reform UK’s candidate for Billericay East in the upcoming by-election.
On 22nd October, residents will have their say.

The Conservatives are back to their SAME OLD dirty tricks. It is political self-preservation.
Reform UK will keep pushing for resources to be spread fairly across the WHOLE borough.
Not just used to shore up selected patches of support ahead of the May elections.

The Conservatives PROMISED to fight for the Green Belt. Then they screwed us all over.
“The judicial review is coming.” Then Cabinet arrives… and the decision isn’t even there.
Reform UK will keep its promises that were made to residents on green spaces.

Unbelievable. Proof that the Uniparty are working hand in hand to DESTROY the Green Belt.
Conservatives across Essex are arguing they have to help deliver the Labour 1.5m homes agenda, even where precious Green Belt is at stake.
Different rosettes, same direction.

Wow, he’s beautifully summarised his own Mayorship.
Genuinely couldn’t do a better job myself.

When will it ever end? Labour’s Council playbook is to interrupt first, and then play victim second.
Reform UK will keep focused on the business residents sent us there to do, and deliver the change that is needed.

Oh dear Richard…
Pots n kettles eh?
There’s clearly something going on at Farage’s Flagship Essex County Council…
@reformparty_uk don’t just suspend two County Councillors in 6 days for no reason…
Farage’s boys are either trying to brush something under the carpet
OR
they’re pushing people out who show the slightest independent thought and trying to smear them with weird talk of ‘damaging the image (🤣) of Reform’
Time will tell…

As Mayor, I have instructed the CEO to move Full Council after the Billericay East election was shamefully arranged for the SAME DAY.
The establishment plays its games with Reform UK, but not on my watch.
Residents want a fair election and a Council that respects democracy.

5/6 times this Lib Democonservative leader and his woeful crew of brainless Councillors took aim at me in the public gallery.
Reform UK are living rent free in that very large space.
£100 says you’re gone in May. To any charity of your choice, Tom.
Excellent local plan full council meeting tonight @BraintreeDC. Certainly didn’t let the pathetic heckling and disruptive antics of the Mayor of Basildon in the public gallery halt proceedings. Even his @reformparty_uk colleagues apologized for him!

The hypocrisy is unreal. A questionable £9,700 payment was made to @JessPower92 husband during Labour’s administration.
Before Labour starts throwing stones over procurement, they should look closer to HOME.
We welcome the inevitable outcome from the financial investigators.

Everyone knows Basildon Council meetings are better than Eastenders. 😂
The drama, the plot twists, the characters… and somehow every episode gets more ridiculous.
Same time next month?

Sam, we may be different politically,
But heed my advice.
You're only doing something RIGHT when the world is attacking you.
Keep your cool while others lose their shit.
And ALWAYS open your mouth and say whatever the fuck you like, or you'll wish forever more you had. 😊

Basildon Council officers when the notification says “Sam Journet added a new post”…
“GET THE MONITORING OFFICER.” 😂

What a GREAT day out on the doors in Billericay East, tons of positive conversations with residents ahead of the by-election.
No sneaky decisions behind closed doors through the co-option process this time.
This time, YOU decide who represents you. Democracy resigns supreme.

Labour can keep sneering at the people who rejected them, but there’s a reason voters turned away.
At the 2026 Elections, Reform UK got THREE Reform votes for every ONE Labour vote.
“Homogeneous minions of Reform UK.” Really?
