Reform UK Councillor for Southgate for Crawley Borough Council. Councillor for Southgate & Gossops Green for West Sussex County Council and Group Leader.

Crawley, West Sussex, UK
Two men are charged with child sexual offences in Crawley. "Following further enquiries, Ali Farahang, 19, an Iraqi national of Hunter Road, Crawley, has been charged with attempted rape and human trafficking under the Modern Slavery Act." "Adam Maina, 19, a Lebanese national of Bath Road in London, has been charged with rape and human trafficking under the Modern Slavery Act." We do have a statement regarding these crimes, however in the interest of ensuring the court process completes properly, that will have to wait. If you see us quiet on this, believe me it is with very good reason. Thank you. sussexexpress.co.uk/news/cri…

France is on fire and serves as a warning to Britain. More than 600 arrested. 85 police and gendarmes wounded. 356 schools hit. Masked rioters have torched schools, doused teachers in petrol and forced staff to barricade themselves inside. In Nantes, the entrance hall of Nelson Mandela High School was burned out.  In Marseille, staff at Victor Hugo High were doused with petrol during an arson attempt.  Youths in balaclavas battered a fire engine until it caught fire. Then cheered.  A headteacher was hit by a mortar firework and taken to hospital.  Shocking footage shows a policewoman chased and attacked. Aerosol cans were piled up and detonated on one of Europe’s longest shopping streets in Bordeaux.  Buses, trams and metros have been shut in Marseille, Strasbourg and Grenoble.  The riots came after the left-wing mayor of Saint-Denis, Bally Bagayoko, declared that “violence can be legitimate.”  Britain has a far left that is emboldened and regularly calls for violence against their political opponents. They (allegedly) murdered a beloved right-wing politician. They are actively intimidating right-wing parties campaigning in the Holborn by-election. With no consequences. They are routinely aided by the state. Remember the BLM riots? The mob that toppled Edward Colston’s statue? They were acquitted after arguing that the *statue itself* constituted a hate crime. The Tories allowed the far left to act violently with impunity. Labour is emboldening them further. Unless we have political leaders brave enough to stand up to these people and take action, scenes like the ones in France will come to Britain too. Britain needs Reform.

After Andy Burnham's hard-left socialist speech at the Labour conference, we can see what this government and the Labour party are all about: control. Reform stands for liberty, safety, prosperity. While we campaign for equality under the law, they push for DEI and race driven policing and justice. While we try to get more money in your pocket, they raise taxes, raid pensions and print money as if your grandchildren weren't forced to pay it back. While we want secure borders and a strong cultural identity, they rubber-stamp asylum claims and force them into our communities as they consume the public services that we rely on, adding more and more Brits into a state of desperation. Nothing has changed under Labour. Only Reform can save this country. metro.co.uk/2026/09/25/socia…

Hang on, @LucyTCWife was denied bail for a quickly deleted post. Danny Tommo is denied bail. However, five men arrested for a terror plot at RAF Fairford are released on bail. Two-tier Britain.

Dear CPS, Please confirm if you have charged the 80,000 + illegals who have invaded our country since the general election? Please confirm why it is a crime to try to stop such illegality by doing the job the police & Border Force should be doing? Please confirm why you think this is in the public interest. Millions will think the opposite, that you are bringing our justice system into disrepute and destroying people’s confidence in it. Weird how you took many months to charge the Manchester Airport thugs for assault against police officers. (Only after I started a private criminal prosecution) Yet you rush this through in days? Seriously?

Tim is right to flag this issue for Crawley. Mid Sussex is watching too – local councils should not play hide-and-seek with asylum numbers.
The Home Office records 304 supported asylum seekers in Crawley. This is where the statistical gymnastics comes in. As soon as an asylum seeker is granted refugee status (which seems to be a rubber-stamping YES process), they come off the books. They will not publish refugee numbers. So both the boroughs/districts and county councils are forced to support the mistakes made by successive governments. Our housing is stretched, school places diminished, SEND support far beyond capacity, adult social care costs ballooning and on and on. We don't know the numbers because they are hidden. How can councils possibly plan and operate like this? They can't do so effectively so they go into tremendous debt and raise taxes thanks to these incoming and invisible extra pressures - mostly the fault of the Home Office and thus the governments of the past decades. I've put together some provisional numbers and am pursuing getting something a little more accurate now.

Unbelievable.
EXCLUSIVE footage. Unbelievable scene. Coaches that were planned for migrants to get on in Gosport being escorted from Hampshire by a larger motorcade than what the prime minister or king would get. This has to be seen to be believed. The money spent 🤯 This countries broken

Women’s safety is not a slogan in Crawley. Reform UK Crawley put on a workshop and got stuck in. It's what a party looks like when it means it. Well done Tim! If you’d like something similar in Mid Sussex, say so in the comments – if enough interest we may look at putting one on.
Women's safety is a top priority for Reform UK. We in Crawley decided we couldn't wait for a general election to do something about it. So we did something.

Level 2 and 3 plumbing courses are FREE for illegal migrants while young Britons pay thousands. You get more for breaking into this country than for being born in it. It's a disgrace. Reform will ban migrants from handouts and incentivise employers to hire our own people.

The Tories really haven’t learned a damn thing. 🤦🏻‍♀️ First we get headlines about Kemi potentially ABOLISHING inheritance tax. Then days later we’re told it would be “very expensive”, they’re still “looking at ways” to do it, and Tory insiders admit they haven’t even worked up their plans beyond the first year of the next parliament. This is exactly the difference with Reform. Reform have been honest about what they want to do, what comes first, and what has to be affordable. Tax cuts for ordinary working people first, then more as the savings allow. The Tories are still doing what they always do… chase the big headline, make the promise, then figure out afterwards whether they can actually deliver it. We had 14 years of that. @reformparty_uk @Nigel_Farage @ZiaYusufUK @TiceRichard @RobertJenrick @LeeAndersonMP_

".. the worst possible agreement that I think two countries could ever come to." Henry Smith(@HenrySmithUK) talks to Mike Graham about Burnham continuing the Great Chagos Betrayal. This deal is a betrayal to both the Chagossian people and to Britain herself. To pay to give away our sovereign territory to a China-allied state against the wishes of those from the islands is a multi-layered treachery. We can fight this in the courts - and as Reform UK have proved repeatedly, we can beat Labour this way. If you have a spare bit of cash, please consider donating to the fund. I have. crowdfunder.co.uk/p/stop-lab…

West Sussex County Council have a required training module which is a DEI course. Turns out nearly my whole group hadn't done it after 4 months in office. I was asked to remind them to complete all required training. My response? Contact the council lawyer and inform her this was like asking a vegetarian to eat meat. I was advised on the process to stop it being mandatory, and I've started that ball rolling. We aren't in control of the council, but this is what you do when you're willing to stand up for your beliefs. For those that don't know: DEI comes from Critical Theory which was developed in the Frankfurt School of Marxism. No bloody thank you.
When Jacob Rees Mogg criticised @RobertJenrick calling him a Cameroon, I politely reminded Jacob how he wrote to me as Leader of the House telling me to do the MPs diversity training course! He replied it was necessary at the time! I like Jacob, but you need to have a long memory in politics 😀 @reformparty_uk

We will fight any attempt by Labour to retrospectively change the law on donations. Labour and the Tories have handed out peerages and honours to big donors for years. Reform is the only party that doesn’t sell political favours. We will fix broken Britain.

Labour is bankrolled by self-serving union donations but wants to stop Reform UK being bankrolled by successful businessmen. That’s all you need to know about Labour double standards

Labour are prepared to do whatever it takes to rig the system in their favour. Changing the voting age, cancelling elections, gerrymandering boundaries, retrospectively banning legitimate donations... Scary stuff.
🚨 What Angela Rayner just said on #BBCLauraK is TERRIFYING. Labour wants to change electoral laws and apply the new rules retrospectively. Think about what that means. You do something completely legal today, then five years later, politicians change the rules and apply them backwards. Today it’s political donations. What is it tomorrow? Your taxes? Your business? Something you posted online? This from a country where 60,000+ people have already been arrested over social media posts and the Government wants to restrict jury trials. Now they want to change laws and apply them after something had already happened legally and make it illegal. This isn’t democracy. It’s tyrannical and people need to wake up to where this is heading.
