Cllr Daniel Adams

Just been out canvassing and starting to see a pattern. Spoke to 5 Labour-voting households: 2 are now voting Green and one isn't sure who, but it won't be Labour. Seems to mirror what the polls are showing.

Really disappointing and rude behavior last night from Cllr Junab Ali. Just seconds after Cllr Courtliff's speech on the effects our deteriorating pathways are having on residents, he says "he hasn't brought his sleeping bag." Full clip at 1hr 50 mins. youtube.com/live/c-zKwi-Bu…

Labour in Swindon desperately trying to stop the exodus from its party by its councillors. How much longer can they last?

The bigger story here is I know of at least a few more thinking of doing the same. Will Labour have a majority by next year? Watch this space... swindonlink.com/news/cllrheath…

Labour are a government in crisis, led by a group of people that don’t have a backbone between them. Distracted by scandal, led by a weak man, they have absolutely no idea what they’re doing There’s only one Party with a plan to fix their mess: that’s the Conservatives.

@jimrobbins loves sharing national news about swindon. Somthing tells me he wont be sharing this one. Well done jim and well done labour.

BREAKING...... The Labour Party

This halloween, grab a costume guaranteed to terrify your neighbours 🎃

Rachel Reeves was celebrating the renting law being expanded in her constituency, at the same time she was breaking that law with her own house👇 Claiming that she wasn’t aware of these laws is about as credible as her CV.

Remembering a certain politician saying lawmakers cannot be lawbreakers.

@SteveJones72786 @jimrobbins Is that it? The best you have 🤣

@DanielCllr @jimrobbins Is that the same Dale Heenan who was taken to court for unpaid council tax!

It took a lot of effort for him to get this info as well! That in itself is concerning. So much for transparency. @jimrobbins

Labour councillors voting to increase their pay, slashing core services and so short on funds they are having to borrow from other councils to cover day-to-day costs and now failing to pay money it owes. Well done Labour, well done. #Echobox=1761757452" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">swindonadvertiser.co.uk/news/25581781.…

@EdmundAvalon @pedro118118 @afneil Until covid debt to GDP was reducing and our outlook was good. Brexit hasnt had any meaningfull impact.

@pedro118118 @afneil We already descended under the Tories and Brexit. The OBR have only just figured it out.

The Office for Budget Responsibility has told the chancellor it will cut its productivity predictions by about 0.3 percentage points. Long overdue. Every 0.1 percentage point reduction in OBR’s medium-term forecast adds between £7 billion and £9 billion to the level of government borrowing in five years. So Reeves has a black hole of almost £30bn from this alone, never mind all the other factors which are blowing her fiscal position to smithereens. The Treasury and 10 Downing Street are furious, which is hilarious since after the ClusterTruss, which involved sidelining the OBR, Reeves et al dined out on how they’d worship at its shrine. They even gave it more power.

As we enter the last few months of the Labour administration in Swindon, even they must be disappointed that they have delivered nothing they said they would when they were elected. swindonadvertiser.co.uk/news/25574575.…

@jimrobbins Swindons in the news a lot lately isnt it. google.com/amp/s/www.bbc.…

Great to see Swindon getting a mention and even better that Swindon is getting a Best Start Family Centre. It was stupid and reckless that the Conservatives shut our Sure Start centres and the Council is paying the price now as Children’s Services cost rocket. #FixingTheMess

Hearing rumors of some more big-name defections from Labour in the coming weeks. It will be interesting to see if the current leadership or indeed administration in Swindon can survive the coming weeks.

When Kemi Badenoch read a survivor’s words on grooming gangs, Labour MPs shouted “shame.” That’s not passion it’s disgrace. Survivors deserve silence, respect and justice, not jeers from politicians. This wasn’t politics. It was a moment for decency and they failed it.
