I'm out celebrating a birthday at the moment catching up on some of the events of Poland here and there.
Just want to add that this will have been organised and timed carefully when Tusk's opponent is in flight.
Look out for who throws in support for Tusk.

You can cancel an election and ban the winner from running (Romania), you can ban your opponents from ever running again (Hungary), you can threaten to ban the main opposition party and subject it to relentless investigations by the secret police (Germany), you can threaten a ban on the leading presidential candidate and make them wear an ankle monitor (France), every member of your circle can be investigated for corruption (Spain), you can try and cancel local elections because you will lose them (Britain), and you can storm the constitutional court with riot police because you want to control it (Poland).
You can just do all these things. The secret is you just have to be on the right side of the European Commission.
Cllr Tim Charters retweeted
The situation in Poland is very serious.
Arrests and a raid on the constitutional court - all to defend the undemocratic EU.
Apologies for the long video, but this is worth watching. I was emotional giving this speech and emotional again in producing the video.
Reform West Sussex tried to convince our council to put West Sussex residents first.
It fell on deaf ears.
Please watch.
Crawley town centre is apparently doing very well, according to Labour. That's not what we hear from residents and that's not what we see.
I pushed back, citing safety as a big driver as to why shops are moving out and shoppers prefer nearby Horsham.
They will never listen.
"The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command." - George Orwell.
Alternative headline: Labour desperate to stop Reform from telling the public the truth.
For those that are not aware, our Cllr James Tidy remarked how residents have told him that Labour are voting through the Broadfield Mosque School for political reasons.
They are risking a judicial review if they push through this decision.
In the interests of the council alone, Labour should reverse this position and respect planning law.
For those not familiar: planning decisions must be limited to "material considerations" only. You are not allowed to support or deny a planning application because you don't like it. It must follow the law from Westminster and the Town Plan. That's it. Labour are extremely selective in what laws they want to follow.
Interesting though, isn't it, how Labour Westminster and Labour Crawley are the same in this regard.

Single mothers with British citizenship are being pressured into registering 'asylum seekers' as their baby's father to help men commit immigration fraud.
Known as the 'fake dad' scam, it is believed to be organised by the same criminal gangs behind countless 'sham marriages'.
In one case, a couple with a newborn baby didn't speak the same language, lived hundreds of miles apart, and the ‘father’ didn’t even know the woman’s name.
How many nonsense stories like this have enabled people to stay here?
Whistleblowers have revealed mountains of fraud – non-existent gay relationships, bogus political dissidents, pretending to be children.
The Tories and Labour created an asylum system that has become a scam on the British people.
Reform will end it.
We will take our country back.
As is far too often my way, lots has been going on and I've given far too few updates. The most serious of the work is unfortunately on topics that cannot be discussed publicly yet. I'm getting a bunch of stuff together to share now, but to break it up a bit, I thought I'd share something a little fun for the supporters.
Last weekend I attended an LGA course and dragged Cllr James Tidy along as well. We are now trained to be more effective/annoying as opposition groups.
Jokes aside, we have learned about various approaches and tools at our disposal to better hold our administrations to account and, ultimately, slow-down or prevent poor decisions.
These techniques will be employed immediately.
Last night at full council I asked the administration to take on emergency measures to help protect the town centre following the charges against two men, Ali Farahang and Adam Maina, for r***, attempted r*** and human trafficking of two girls, 15 and 16 years old.
All I got was evasion and denial. This is not the first time I have called for public safety to be taken seriously and it has always fallen on deaf ears.
Last night a member put together this video showing how out-of-touch our Labour administration really is.

More than any other country in Europe – 7.1 million in 24 years, as Zia says.
Two parties, the same broken promise. In Mid Sussex we were told numbers would come down – only Reform will actually do it!
Join us. Vote Reform!
🚨 Britain’s migrant population grew more than than any other country in Europe between 2000 and 2024.
7.1 million.
That’s equivalent to the *entire population of Bulgaria*.
Even countries like Spain - which has twice the land mass of the UK - took fewer.
A conga line of Tory and Labour ministers orchestrated an unprecedented population explosion.
The foreign-born share of the population doubled.
British people suffer the consequences every day in their wages and access to housing, services, and medical care.
The scale of the betrayal beggars belief.
Reform will end this madness.
We will sustain negative migration, reverse the Boriswave and deport all illegal migrants.
Time to put British people first.

STATEMENT:
Reform UK has reported ITV, its board, and its undercover reporters to the police.
Some of the crimes carry up to 10 years in prison.
They forged a passport.
They directly interfered in elections and almost certainly altered the results. Being paid to “canvass” for Reform in crucial wards we lost by a few dozen votes.
They lied to a veteran about their service and left him “violated”.
This is unprecedented.
The police are now involved.
Scrutiny of political parties is one thing.
But anyone breaking the law to try and ruin the lives of Reform’s staff, members or volunteers will be reported to the police and pursued relentlessly in the courts.
Here’s what happened 👇

This is incredible.
An Algerian Hamas supporter who became an illegal overstayer in Britain, lied to immigration officers about it, and went to prison for it, is now in a senior role at the BBC.
Because the Tories and Labour failed to deport him.
Hicham Yezza has a long record of supporting Islamist violence.
He was arrested in 2008 for possessing an al-Qaeda terrorist training manual.
He came to Britain on a visa that expired in 2003. He stayed anyway. When immigration officers caught up with him, he told them his passport with the visa stamp had been stolen. They found it in his flat.
A jury convicted him of deception. He was jailed for nine months.
Then he won his appeal against deportation, and was later handed British citizenship.
Now he’s the Principal Data Scientist in the BBC’s “Responsible AI” division, helping to decide how AI shapes what BBC News tells you.
Before that he worked at BBC Monitoring, briefing BBC journalists on the Middle East.
Can you guess what kind of briefings he gave them?
He should never have been allowed to stay. Under Reform, people like him never will be.
Under Operation Restoring Justice, we will detain and deport anyone who broke into our country.
Our borders will mean something again.
Today was our West Sussex Full Council where we debated our motion aiming to address the funding gap for refugees, asylum seekers and demand transparency from the Home Office.
We used the hard data we could get, along with estimates we put together to demonstrate the possible hidden numbers in Crawley.
This demonstrated a hidden cost to the council for housing home office refugees in addition to the unfounded pressure through the refugee resettlement schemes.
We spoke about real life cases in Crawley, emotive ones, to show the real world effect of prioritising those coming from abroad over our own West Sussex residents.
What was the response?
LibDem, Labour, Green and Tory Party members unanimously opposed it.
Reform are for you, West Sussex. We stand alone in that. Remember this the next time you are asked to vote.
Cllr Tim Charters retweeted
The left-wing extremist who is accused of murdering my colleague Ann Widdecombe and targeting my friend Nigel Farage "held an extreme left-wing mindset".
Now ask yourself:
Where is the big national debate about left-wing extremism?
Where are the BBC documentaries and podcasts about left-wing extremism?
Where are the calls to warn children in schools and universities about left-wing extremism?
Where are the government 'counter-terror units' stating that if you read, say, Karl Marx or Antonio Gramsci then you are "on a pathway to terror"?
Where are the think-tanks producing major research reports on left-wing extremism and its followers?
Where are the multi-million pound research grants going to academics who investigate left-wing terror?
If it was far-right we all know what would happen. Wall to wall blanket coverage, analysis, and debate.
Does anybody else notice the silence?
Astonishing.
We've created the room for widespread fraud and when consequences for it seem so weak, we have borderline incentivised it.
Time to get tough.
A civil servant is accused of fraudulently holding FIVE government jobs at the same time while working from home.
It's incredible.
Five different government departments ran his pay every month and not one of them noticed he wasn't working.
Prosecutors say he "worked" 183 hours in a 168 hour week. The taxpayer paid him £350,000.
He's alleged to have used sick notes to juggle his jobs around.
You can buy these online for as little as £30.
Under a Reform government, every single level of the Civil Service will be overhauled.
Government departments and public bodies will once again do what they were always supposed to:
Serve the British public.
