Well this pretty much makes us redundant today. https://t.co/gRQKWb6mzC

That’s not a doorstep. It’s the middle of the road. Oi @MedwayLabour stop taking photos in the middle of the road. https://t.co/pMHnssJ3nT

Great to see Rehman managing to get through two pairs of trousers on his visit to a local church. https://t.co/KMPRnLLmnI

Exactly what are ‘some Labour controlled wards’ like, Cllr @gloriaopara?

Rehman Chishti one of only 20 Tory MPs to vote against the government position tonight. He opposed an amendment that would allow a vote on the extension of Article 50 as the PM promised yesterday. He and his group lost by 502 to 20. https://t.co/aPNfDn1snI

Interesting article on Medway and city status. As an extra treat it includes an interview with Cllr Jarrett! https://t.co/op96JN7liK

We had a reason to exist before you and we will continue to exist long after you have crawled back into your hole, you utterly irrelevant oaf. Your 'audience' is mostly baffled by the constant inane drivel coming out of your stupid tweets. https://t.co/pgKAb3ZI0M

We'll be covering the launch of @MedwayLabour's manifesto tomorrow morning. Before certain people accuse us of favouritism, we'd turn up and cover any other Medway party that actually bothered to put together a manifesto too.

We're delighted to hear a @MedwayTories candidate confirming that the party will be producing a manifesto in this election, unlike previous recent ones. We look forward to reading it. https://t.co/r4IUwXt2OW

Whoa! So much to say about this, but mostly blown away by the arrogance of the claim that a community is shaped by a handful of Tories as opposed to the residents. @MedwayTories once again can't resist taking digs at Medway residents who didn't vote for them. https://t.co/ygVPzYxFTp

“The government now faces a stark choice at the next Spending Review: either continue to leave councils short of the money they need to keep children safe, or address the funding gap and give some of our most #vulnerable #Youngpeople hope of a brighter future.” @ClivJoh https://t.co/lLoixzg2EN

Interesting in relation to the #HooPeninsula – part of a European project from 2011-15, with the support of Medway Council, intended to help communities, businesses and governments enhance their Green Infrastructure. Wonder what happened? #GreenMedwayhttps://t.co/7Cl81xgO6N

Shameful that neither @KellyTolhurst or @Rehman_Chishti seem to have bothered to turn up for this debate (@tracey_crouch had courtesy to explain why she could not make it). Happy to hear what they feel is more important. @MedwayTories #ClimateEmergency https://t.co/H7504l7GCQ

The @ElectoralCommUK has today published a notice that they have received an application to register @MedwayVoice as a political party:https://t.co/Rhbdb8yqJ5

The application includes a number of descriptions which may appear on ballot papers, but no logo. pic.twitter.com/CKtbz5MD0w

Met with Secretary of State for Health @MattHancock MP along with @KellyTolhurst MP and once again reiterated our real concern at the unacceptable decision by Joint Committee of CCG not to have a HASU (Stroke Unit) in Medway. Will work with @medway_council to challenge this. pic.twitter.com/WZ6sFA32DL

Today on Home Affairs Committee I took evidence on the English Channel migrant crossings from @kent_police brilliant Chief Constable Alan Pughsley, Steve Rodhouse @NCA_UK & Julie-Ann Wood Maritime & Coastguard Agency on the effectiveness of current Gov strategy @CommonsHomeAffs pic.twitter.com/R1zkNv2mi7

Thank you Sir David Natzler for your huge dedication & public service for over 43 years to @HouseofCommons, including 4 years as Clerk of the House. All the best for your retirement from 1st March – you will certainly be missed! pic.twitter.com/kHmlQmkdWN
