Jacob Short - Reform UK

Unfortunately 2nd. Congrats to Cllr Ansell & sympathies to Tom for not being re-elected 🩵 Billy Ansell (LD) - 1518 Jacob Short (RefUK) - 1162 Tim Sheerman-Chase (Greens) - 542 Tom Coles (Lab) - 454 Tim Edwards (Con) - 186 Thanks to all who voted for me + supported me 🙏

Popped down to see Vicky, #Portsmouth’s Jacket Potato Lady, and of course grab a spud 🥔 First since the #LocalElections, I thought I’d treat myself. I always do my best to #SupportLocal where I can 🩵 My community work won’t stop, just slowing it down and working on myself 💪

@StrudwickEmily What a great pic 🙌 And congratulations again Emily 👏🩵

Thank you to Suella for popping round today to congratulate me on becoming Leader of Portsmouth Reform UK Group. We had a brilliant chat about our future plans for the wider region and how we plan to hold the government, and local council, to account on LGR 🩵🇬🇧🩵

In recent months I’ve chosen to stay out of all the “noise” of X and the cross party political horrors we are witnessing as our country descends into chaos after years of neglect. And I have been approached by many media outlets today to ask if I am going to stand against @AndyBurnhamGM in the Makerfield by election. I’ve declined all interviews up to now. But I just wanted to say here that whilst I’m hugely flattered that the public consider me as worthy of their trust in such a huge moment, and many have messaged me asking me to throw my hat in the ring, I feel I can do more good from the place I am. The work fighting for victims and survivors of “rape gangs”, all survivors of any kind of sexual violence still being hugely failed by our police/courts/cps, and to continue to use my voice to expose the cover ups and corruption in our institutions that has consumed my life for 13 years isn’t finished yet. And I don’t quit until it’s won! I know my subject inside out! And I know what’s needed…. My charity @TMOFCharity and I are currently fighting this government in a Judicial Review, a “David and Goliath” fight as I said in March. We are also fighting alongside many dozens of survivors as we try to ensure they have an effective voice in this so called new “statutory enquiry” - which in all honesty is shaping up to be exactly like the one that fell apart last year when survivors including @fionagoddarduk @EllieAnnRe71927 @snatched1400 and others resigned in disgust at the secrecy and “game playing” they saw from @jessphillips and others in government. 3 months after we took over two dozen survivors to meet @annelongfield and her team in Manchester we’re still to receive any update, response or even the most basic communication about the direction of travel of this new “Statutory enquiry”and again we’re hearing on the grapevine of more “secret squirrel meetings”, NDAs, lack of openness and transparency etc etc So my work here is not yet done, and I intend to see this through until I can rest knowing change is coming. But thankyou for your trust in me. Which in all honesty means the world 💕

@CFB6363 @reformparty_uk @worcscc Props to CCHQ for taking action and suspending the Group Leader but it’s too late for any action, damage is done. And what about the other Tory Cllrs who agreed to it Despite having the most Cllrs out of the coalition parties, Tories chose a Green Cllr for Leader of the Council

@JacobShortUK @reformparty_uk @worcscc Well that is good, Kemi looked at it and thought that is not going to help, Problem is this did happen , vote Lib/Left/conservative get Green.

Wow! Tories team up with Greens & Lib Dems to stop @reformparty_uk running @worcscc 🤯 #ReformUK are the largest party on WCC with 24/57 Councillors 🩵 Yet, the Tories (12), Greens (8), LDs (7) and 2 Indies form a rainbow coalition 😡 #Worcestershire, don’t forget in 2027 🗳️

@HhJuza @LucyTCWife A Labour MP resigned today to allow for Andy Burnham, current Mayor of Greater Manchester, to return to Parliament by triggering a by-election If Burnham does stand for MP and resigns as Mayor, they’ll be a by-election for that too 1 definite by-election and 1 potential one

@LucyTCWife I’m lost with all this now. So more elections ? How does this work. Me no idea 🤷‍♂️

I can’t wait to hear who Reform stand as a candidate in the By-election.

@LucyTCWife We can’t parachute! We need a local, active community figure. One of the Reform Cllrs where we won 24/25 seats could work Cllr Robert Kenyon is proven electable and could win the by-election. However, it risks the appearance of him climbing the pole by trying for MP a week later

@Luis_Cook1 We can’t parachute! We need a local, active community figure. One of the Reform Cllrs where we won 24/25 seats could work Cllr Robert Kenyon is proven electable and could win the by-election. However, it risks the appearance of him climbing the pole by trying for MP a week later

Reform must get its candidate selection right here! I keep seeing “but the mayoral role is bigger”… irrelevant. Burnham will be far harder to defeat than any mayoral candidate and if we don’t win Makerfield, we won’t win anywhere else in Manchester. Can’t be ex-Tory either ❌

@JvpJacqui @reformparty_uk @Reform_Youth_UK @ReformTeens @Students4RUK @ReformDaily_ I can’t take credit for any of the pages, only shouting them out 🙏🩵

@JacobS4Fratton Thank you Jacob, I appreciate your support throughout my entire campaign. How did you get on?

Honoured to serve as your newly elected County Councillor for Swaffham. 🇬🇧

@ArchieforReform @ReformTeens Current 16/17yo will be able to vote by 2029, it’s important we prove ourselves, get our message out to teenagers, etc. How we do that correctly is what needs brainstorming 🩵 I’m unsure how I feel about 16/17yo being able to vote but I don’t know if that’s still happening 🤷‍♂️

Multiple messages from my close friends yesterday: “So glad Reform swept the elections!” 🔥 As a 15 year old founder of @ReformTeens, this is massive. The Youth is on the RIGHT side of history 💙🇬🇧 Labour’s collapse has begun. 2029 is coming... Repost if you’re with us! #ReformUK #ReformTeens
