Why take choice away from parents and prevent good schools from expanding? I just don’t get ideologically-driven policies like this. Read more here:👇
More parents will be denied their first choice school under Labour’s education reforms, the government has acknowledged ⬇️

Amazing murmuration of starlings in the skies over Lancing yesterday evening. Apparently, grouping together offers safety in numbers and they also gather to keep warm at night and exchange information on good feeding areas #TheresNoPlaceLikeSussex

You may have heard the Government’s recent announcement about devolution ( which includes the postponement of this year’s local elections with the potential for Mayoral elections in 2026? Under current proposals, if Sussex gets a Mayor, the role and responsibilities of the Sussex Police and Crime Commissioner will be assumed by the new Mayor. As a result, I will be seeking to ensure that, under a mayoral model of police governance, the unique local identity and character of our police force is preserved and the public’s voice in policing will continue to be strongly articulated across all of Sussex, including our rural towns and villages. To this end, I will be seeking nomination for Mayoral candidacy – with my previous business and extensive local government experience, I have the necessary skillset the role requires. My office is already in dialogue with the Home Office and Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government and we fully expect to be working in collaboration with our local authorities as the devolution process moves forward.

@ClintonSmiling @ivebeenaway @SussexPCC @Brakecharity The money for victims’ services comes via the Ministry of Justice/victim surcharge and it is the decision of each Police & Crime Commissioner which service she/he decides to fund. You can read more here:

Pleased prolific shoplifter is banned from Eastbourne shops for stealing £ thousands. But, electronic tagging would be even better & could guarantee his whereabouts & show when Behavioural Order is breached #TagShoplifters
