This is different from my recent posts, but I have a question for the government. Why on earth are we not doing more to tackle child grooming gangs? . It's a major issue in Nottinghamshire, and unfortunately, I witness it a lot. We need to tackle this head-on.

I understand there will be a protest today in Nottingham. I urge everyone from Ashfield attending to conduct themselves in an orderly manner. Please do not cause public unrest or turn your right to protest into a riot. Thank you.

Seeing the scenes on the streets of Leeds is extremely concerning. The police can't control this; it's too much. I advise we urgently send the army in to de-escalate the situation and protect people. I've seen young people in videos involved in the rioting; it's concerning.

I’m disgusted to see the absolute hatred and attacks against my good friend @NicholasLissack! . He’s a bloody strong person; people need to give him some damn respect! . Death threats towards him are disgraceful—he’s 21 for Christ’s sake! . We, the people, need to support him!.

For 5 months, I worked hard for Ashfield, launching a nationwide free school meal campaign. Then, I was unfortunately made to resign; the Labour councillor who notified me of my departure is @shanemochriecox. The @UKYP and @natyouthagency need investigating for corruption.

I urge the police to act tonight and not cower away if another round of riots happens. We also need to safeguard all children involved in these incidents. Social services should investigate every parent of a child who participated in rioting last night. Stay safe everyone.

Political views aside,. I pray that Donald Trump and everyone at the rally is safe and not injured. In politics, we need to have respect for one another, no matter your beliefs. As a person in politics, I have experienced threats and attacks. Hope everyone's okay.

I would like to give a huge thanks to GB News for letting me on the show this morning. I might need to watch my words in the future. Other than that, the message still stands: we need to help the working class. Give it a watch below.
‘It should be extended to working class families, who go to work every single day.’. Youth Parliament Member, Charlie Simpson, campaigns to lower the threshold so that more children have access to free school meals.

I would like to say a huge well done to my fellow Member of Youth Parliament, Cameron Holt. Why am I saying well done?. Because he has stood up for Bassetlaw, and he has been a strong advocate for all his constituents!. Give him a follow @cameronholtmyp.

It's hard getting involved in politics at a young age. It really is. Schools don't teach this to young people. Most people call politics corrupt and dirty, but not my kind of politics. If you're a young person and want some advice on how to get involved in politics, DM me.

Why is it that it's taken a 13 year old boy with very little political experience to make democracy exciting for young people? . Because, quite frankly, the people in charge aren't doing enough. When young people know that it benefits them, they get involved.

The scenes in Sunderland are extremely worrying. The Prime Minister should look at this and take it as a message that he needs to speak directly to the people affected and stop making pointless speeches. I do hope everyone is okay and safe.

I’m extremely sad to hear that @bycLIVE has closed its doors. I’m new to Youth politics but extremely sad I won’t get the same experience as other young people. I’m now fighting to have some change made regarding this. I’m calling out the government to give a response! @UKYP.
The British Youth Council is sad to announce its permanent closure after more than 75 years of championing the voices of young people.

@ChristKJV @Ashfield_News @GBNEWS @BBCNews @itvcalendar @SkyNews @bphillipsonMP @Keir_Starmer @10DowningStreet Absolutely I believe the school meals that would be provided should be nutritious. Obesity is getting out of hand, in are schools. Young people need healthy alternatives.

As MYP, I would help undernourished children in Ashfield, by making free school meals more accessible. I not only would I ensure this a priority, but I would also make sure not to stress the taxpayer to do this.
