Congratulations, Mark! 🧡
Today Mark Petterson took his oath and joined the team. Mark co-founded Warwick Energy in 2000 and has developed three offshore wind projects that are now in operation. They include Thanet, the world’s largest offshore wind farm when it came onstream in 2010.

George, you're part of the problem. This is not a case of a few bad apples. The whole orchard is rotten! @bbcmtd #Solihull #HopeNotHate

“This is not a case of a few bad apples. The whole orchard is rotten.” Spot on from @LibDems councillor @a_adeyemo
Watch Reform Council Leader George Finch being called out for whataboutery on Politics Midlands after reeling off a list of other parties' past indiscretions. He is then handed his arse on a plate by the Lib Dem panellist for claiming swift action was taken against those featured in the ITV undercover documentary. His facial expressions say it all.

Good to see @a_adeyemo absolutely wiping the floor with George Finch. Proud to see a local and dedicated Liberal Democrat councillor put this larping politician muppet in his place.

ITV’s undercover report exposing racist and misogynistic comments by Reform UK councillors will be aired in full tonight. According to Reform sources it’s just a “few bad apples” but we’ve been here before….

Ed Davey told the Commons in July what Reform activists were saying on doorsteps. Tonight, we saw ITV went undercover and got Reform councillors and candidates on tape.

This is the fight of our lives. We can’t let Trump’s America become Farage’s Britain. @LibDems @reformexposed @reformparty_uk @Nigel_Farage @EdwardJDavey

Another week, another Reform Party scandal. I spoke to LBC about how they're rotten from top to bottom.

BREAKING: Solihull Council has confirmed to me that pervert former Reform UK politician, Chris Whelan, has resigned as a councillor. He’s the misogynist who said of a woman: “if she was my daughter, it would still be a bath time on a Thursday…I’ll wash you properly this time.” They confirmed this after I reported him (and all of the of the racist/sexist/pervert councillors featured in ITV’s exposé) to the standards watchdogs at each of their respective councils. Solihull Council has confirmed that its process is now underway. Time for the others to do us all a favour and resign with immediate effect.
Warning: Distressing and graphic language An undercover investigation by ITV Exposure into Nigel Farage’s Reform UK has found multiple elected councillors and party candidates expressing racist views and using offensive language. ITV has obtained secretly recorded footage showing Reform officials from across England and Wales using violent, racist and sexist language. Councillors Alan Feeney, Chris Whelan and Jamie Campbell did not reply to our request for comment. Councillors Feeney and Whelan have since resigned from Reform UK. In a statement shared with ITV News, Reform UK said: "Where members, activists and councillors have clearly behaved inappropriately, investigations have commenced. In some cases, there have been suspensions and due process must be followed." "Reform UK has improved and prioritised its vetting procedures, but from time to time, a handful of individuals who do not share our values will initially make it through vetting. This is the same for all organisations."

Solihull Reform councillors making racist, Islamophobic and sexist remarks. Two have quit the group. The third is now their Deputy Leader! All three must resign. No place for racists and Islamophobes on @SolihullCouncil #Solihull #ITVExposure #NoPlaceForHate

Hard to find words to express how abhorrent these Councillors’ views are. Reform needs to root out every single racist from its party and stop dividing our communities with their vile bigotry.

Is Sir Ed Davey still the man to lead the Liberal Democrats? Alison Mackenzie at ITV News sought the opinion of Councillor Ade Adeyemo, the Liberal Democrats Group Leader on Solihull Council. @LibDems @Alison1mackITV @ITVCentral

Success at last! A safe crossing by St. Andrews RC School on Moordown Avenue, something that Cllr Kathryn Thomas, Cllr Paul McCabe and I have campaigned about for several years. @KathrynTLD @PaulSolihull @SolihullCouncil #Lyndon #Solihull #LibDems
