I went on GB News recently to tell the truth about an Afghan Resettlement Programme that’s placing hundreds of migrants in a 4-star hotel in Bracknell — it’s unfair to local residents and a betrayal of our veterans, many of whom are living in terrible conditions on the housing

I’ve stayed quiet—until now. The truth has to come out. Bracknell Forest Council has tried to silence me for raising concerns about 300+ Afghans housed in a Bracknell hotel—using intimidation and weaponising complaints to shut down scrutiny of a government policy. 🧵 👇🏻

Why are councils rushing to tear down our national flags 🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 but not Pride or Palestinian flags? My perspective as a local politician in a council that’s doing just that 👇🏻 Short 🧵

Remember when Jo Brand made a ‘joke’ encouraging people to throw battery acid over @Nigel_Farage. If @Glinner was arrested by five armed coppers for joking about punching trans women in the balls, why wasn’t she 🤔

300+ Afghans have been housed in a 4-star all-inclusive hotel in Bracknell, supported with extra welfare — all while 1,400 residents and veterans are stuck on the housing waiting list in terrible conditions. But when I called for local veterans to receive equal support, Lib Dem,

Reports say Taliban members have slipped into the UK under Afghan resettlement schemes. Bracknell has an Afghan migrant hotel — so I asked the Council’s CEO and Labour Leader what checks they’d done. Here’s the questions I asked, and the shocking answers I received 👇🏻🧵

I’m representing a veteran stuck in a one-bed flat with his wife & 2 young daughters. The mould is so bad both girls have been hospitalised with respiratory problems Seeing asylum seekers handed these new-build homes is not just disappointing—it’s a betrayal to him and all Brits

Hundreds of Afghans are being housed in a 4-star hotel in Bracknell under an MoD resettlement scheme. Yet the local council didn’t ask a single question about the level of vetting or security checks. Sound unbelievable? My FOI request confirms it. 🧵👇🏻

I’ll never forget this: Lib Dem, Labour & Tory councillors all backed a motion supporting Afghan arrivals But when I called for British veterans and struggling locals to receive equal support, they voted it down and called me hateful Then they wonder why ppl are angry

When Starmer labels Reform ‘the enemy’ he also brands millions of Reform voters traitors as well How fucking dare a Prime Minister call so many Brits the enemy. Labour have declared war on its own people

I asked why 300 Afghans are being housed in a 4-star hotel when local veterans and residents are still homeless — and Bracknell Forest Council launched an investigation into me. But now Lord Toby Young has spoken out in my defence in today’s Spectator, criticising their

The Daily Mail has exposed the truth: the Afghan Resettlement Programme will cost £7 billion, was deliberately hushed up by the government, and they sought to “manage” public knowledge and “control the narrative.” Key revelations: • 1 in 10 Afghans are expected to

Sandhurst council voted AGAINST flying a Union flag 🇬🇧 outside our building Warning it can be ‘divisive’, ‘far right’, ‘hateful’ and even ‘obscene’ I find that offensive. People aren’t raising flags because they’re racist—they’re doing it because they’re proud of their country

A Labour Bracknell councillor just compared my scrutiny of an Afghan resettlement hotel to: – Jo Cox’s murder – Nazi admiration – Far right disinformation And this was in a debate on free speech! This is the type of rhetoric that got Charlie Kirk killed It has to stop
