And yet the video is still there with strapline. Does the Tory agent care the candidate has misrepresented a leading local independent organisation?

It is said that elections are won on the doorstep, and that may well be true. Being armchair activists, it’s difficult to check up on that.
Twitter and blogs however are part of our social media present and future, and if the election was decided there, how would each of the wards be looking?
Let's hear about what you've got planned for #ADateToCelebrate – meet @vincemaple Mary and Ned – they say "Today’s change in legislation is fantastic and means couples like us can now have our relationships recognised in law."

I wonder if he is telling the residents that he is a socialist and that as a socialist he does not believe in the concept of private ownership of property and that @UKLabour are going to introduce a land tax?

The residents of Luton & Wayfield deserve so much better than an @MedwayLabour Councillor of such poor quality that he resorts to tweeting 4 year old headlines in a vain attempt to smear @MedwayTories.

That’s strange, because as you can see, @naushabahkhan agrees with me. You are a @Conservatives candidate now, and despite my political differences with your party, even they have standards, which you don’t meet. Sad that you have learned nothing from @SayeedaWarsi intervention.

That wasn't worth the wait. Turns out @CllrStuartT had nothing worthwhile to say after all. These vile posts were not a "moment of madness" nor the sort of thing any apology can excuse. It was a pattern of behaviour condoned by the group followed by an attempt to rewrite history.

So Tory planning committee, Tory government housing targets, Tory Prime Minister and an MP who formally sat on the Council; and in the room when Tory group was remonstrated by the Planning Inspectorate and where we have failed to deliver a Local Plan.

If Tory Councillors had been telling the truth at Budget meeting about future high street fund it would be less of an issue but sadly the Tories were dishonest. pic.twitter.com/JqNKiTBpUb
So many @MedwayTories had to leave our debate on this issue in January because they are landlords, but still not enough for Full Council to take a moral stand against the abuse of power permitted by s21 evictions. Warm words on homelessness, but no action on its root causes. https://t.co/rDTL5FCNiK

Out canvassing on Saturday a gentleman said to me “I have had enough with politics” I replied “Why is that Sir?” He then said “Because they are all the same, out for their own career or gain. The people told them what we want and they don’t like it.” Why I’m an #independent
