Cllr Samantha Gethen

Today, I’ve made one of the biggest decisions of my political life. After years as a @Conservatives Councillor, I've joined @reformparty_uk. Not a step I take lightly - but one I take for Solihull, for our communities, and for Britain’s future. 🧵My reasons 👇

Thank you, the support for Reform UK in the north of Solihull is amazing. 🩵 This time we went out and spoke with the residents of Smiths Wood and Kingshurst. #ReformUK #solihull

Op Advance - In Solihull on Friday local police were out in Solihull town centre & across the borough. Our community deserves safe streets, and it is only through voting for Reform that we can achieve this vision of safety and security. #OpAdvance #ReformUK #ReformSolihull

Disappointed that a dispersal order has been needed in our town centre, but grateful for the swift action from our police to keep our community safe. 🚨 #ReformUK #ReformSolihull

Out in Shirley South today with our brilliant Young Reform team 👏 Great to see more young people stepping up and getting involved in local politics. If you see us out and about, come and say hello. @reformparty_uk @cartz0312 - @zacm151 - @j1slater

Last night, I joined Men’s Walking & Talking Solihull for their weekly walk. I’m grateful to the group for sharing their experiences so openly. Supporting men’s mental health means listening, showing up, and helping improve local services. Thank you for all you do for our community.

Reform said no to cancelling elections from the start. Tories screamed outrage at Labour… while 5 of their own councils voted to cancel. If they truly believed their rhetoric, those councillors would have lost the whip. You can’t shout “democracy” in Westminster and ditch it in your town hall.

Great to see so many supporters at the Reform rally and throughout the week our local team have been out listening to residents across the borough. Politics should be visible, accountable, and rooted in the community. We’re committed to being present, accessible, and focused on what matters locally. #Solihull @Reform @LeeAndersonMP_ @danny__kruger

Great to be out and about today supporting residents across Solihull. After my morning councillors’ surgery at The Core, speaking directly with local people, it was fantastic to spend the afternoon in Monkspath listening to residents’ concerns on the doorstep. We’ve got a brilliant Reform team here in Solihull, working hard, knocking doors, and making sure local voices are heard. @reformparty_uk #ReformUK

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old. Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning We will remember them.

Absolutely fantastic turnout for our campaign session in Castle Bromwich today. There were several others who came after the photo was taken as well. Residents are over the moon to see Reform UK at work in the area and are counting the days until they can vote for us!

It was lovely to attend the Dedication to the Cenotaph Service at Knowle Parish Church this morning. The moving Dedication Ceremony and wreath laying followed a beautiful church service, as we all came together to reflect and give thanks. A heartfelt tribute to the courage, sacrifice, and service of our Armed Forces, past and present. 🌺 #LestWeForget #Knowle #Community #Remembrance

Honoured to join the Royal British Legion in Touchwood again to help sell poppies. Always uplifting to meet fellow volunteers & see the amazing community support for our veterans & their families. Every poppy counts, every donation helps those who’ve served when they need it most. 🌺 #PoppyAppeal #RoyalBritishLegion #LestWeForget #Touchwood

Reform Action Day in Solihull is a huge success! Talking with residents, listening to local concerns, and welcoming new members to our movement. The message is clear. People want change, and Reform is the growing force to deliver it in Solihull. 🇬🇧💪 #ReformActionDay @reformparty_uk

Representing St Alphege is a privilege. Community safety is – and always will be – one of my top priorities. Together, by working with our police and supporting each other, we can keep St Alphege a safe and welcoming place to live. 🇬🇧

These Beat Surgeries are invaluable. They give residents a direct voice, provide reassurance, and strengthen the partnership between our community and the police. I’ll keep pressing for action to make sure concerns are acted upon.

Today I attended the Beat Surgery at The Core with one of our St Alphege residents. We raised important concerns with our neighbourhood police team, including local issues at the Ramada Hotel and recent shed burglaries. 🧵 Here’s what we discussed 👇
