A very positive #LabourDoorstep campaign today in Chatham Central & Luton + Wayfield Wards @cllrtrisosborne . Lots of great conversations with residents and very encouraged that many residents will engage with the public meeting on Thurs about Russell House #nonvirtualdoorstep pic.twitter.com/gW1gEtyumD

Great to catch up with Mark founder of MAPS who I've nominated for this year's @PrideInMedway – Mark is an absolutely inspiration and makes such a positive contribution to our community. #ProudToBeMedway #LoyalAndTrue pic.twitter.com/Rjhjh2JSXv

Good to see @bbcsoutheast lead story is the failure of the PIP system.

My solidarity for Peter, I've supported so many residents with the vast majority of appeals being upheld including one case where the panel upheld the appeal without one word being said.

On an unrelated matter there is a local election in 112 days

Someone cynical would say this is a blatant use of taxpayers money by the Tory @medway_council administration to get propaganda out to the electorate before Purdah.

Absolutely shameful abuse of machinery of council. https://t.co/s04orpemSs

Looking forward to the first Big Campaign sessions as we head towards May 2nd.

Throughout the next few weeks Medway Labour Councillors, Candidates & Activists will be speaking to thousands of local people on the #LabourDoorstep.

Fantastic #LabourDoorstep session in Strood this morning with activists from all three Medway CLPs.

Interesting to hear several former UKIP voters saying they will be voting for @UKLabour on May 2nd pic.twitter.com/3Iigo4a4Tf

What an amazing statement from @donlemon . He is so right about young LGBT people still being scared to come out to their parents and far to many taking their own lives. Well worth the 9 minutes . https://t.co/dvAh3tf0IX

We’ve reached a point where the majority of members for the governing party have become so ideologically brainwashed that tanking the economy and making everyone poorer is not only viable, but a preferable choice, for the nation.

— Tris Osborne (@cllrtrisosborne) January 4, 2019

This is a +good+ idea. It is called the late night levy and it requires those bars and clubs who benefit financially from our night time economy to pay for improved community safety. https://t.co/OcGui7lR4V

What a disgrace! How these people can’t be automatically removed as MPs for such things is a joke! https://t.co/q2JoNSbfpR

As per resident requests you may have spotted some white graffiti paint around Luton village in Chatham. This is however by demand… pic.twitter.com/jvJPkLqE55

I don’t know whether to address you or the other account @BeccyRyan but what the point is it doesn’t matter what the supposed ‘cause’ is, the act is unacceptable. There is justification for it. She hasn’t ‘bated’ anyone to justify any ‘bear’ response.

— Tris Osborne (@cllrtrisosborne) January 9, 2019

The serial fibber former @UKIP spokesperson has all but confirmed it’ll change. If it wasn’t the crest – as was claimed at time – why email the council department ‘if we could use the crest’ . Someone is clearly trying to dig out a hole. https://t.co/KTtibtoVa8

Very good morning speaking to residents in Strood – Young, old – and from many different backgrounds. Many looking for change in May. Many deeply unhappy with Tory council plans to bulldoze over greenbelt because they’ve failed to get a Local Plan in place.

— Tris Osborne (@cllrtrisosborne) January 12, 2019

Not credible either. If can’t put full platform of 55 candidates up how can you claim to speak for whole of Medway. I share common cause on many issues, but this will siphon off Labour support when we *all* agree we need progressive change on Council. https://t.co/KyN0Mr2rwZ

— Tris Osborne (@cllrtrisosborne) January 14, 2019

Am I missing the point here? That immigrants mean more than us. Look how much this would help our own. Who in Government knows who in these companies??? https://t.co/xiBTgo7wQy

If Brexit takes place with no deal, Britain’s politicians won’t have the luxury to launch new projects away from Europe: They’ll be bogged down by a seemingly endless bureaucratic and political struggle with the continent. https://t.co/cZaaKZbMKj

Productive Rochester & River Branch Labour Party meeting today. Discussion of issues raised by residents across #RochesterWest, East, South and River wards including bus services, fly-tipping and parking. After two wasted Tory decades, clear we need a #MedwayForTheMany on May 2. pic.twitter.com/Yye9dD6kWI

— Cllr Alex Paterson (@ajpaterson) January 12, 2019

Selfish & dangerous fly-tipping including broken glass strewn on Oliver Twist Close, spotted while I was out delivering in #RochesterWest. To save residents pain of reporting on clunky @medway_council online form, I've done it myself. We all pay price of Tory bulky waste charge. pic.twitter.com/hyAVolDkNX

— Cllr Alex Paterson (@ajpaterson) January 13, 2019

Sadly typical of their boorish behaviour at Council meetings. They are clearly taking their lead from the braying mob on the Government benches in the Commons who guffaw through speeches about the 4million working people trapped in poverty in this country. #GTTO https://t.co/qJGfFyRpwQ

Great support from nearly 200 residents against a development on green belt land in Strood North

I'm just pointing out that you cannot blame the council for people's bad behaviour. We are fortunate in Medway to have our rubbish and recycling collected every week, so there really is no excuse for anyone to dump their black sacks anywhere.

Whilst there is more work to be done immunisation rates for children 0-5 in #Medway are in many cases above national average.

Great work by @medway_council and @NHSEngland.
