Mainstream contacted me today saying they are going to do an article about my "admiration" of Tommy Robinson π€·π»ββοΈ
This was my reply ππ»
Good afternoon,
Thank you for giving me the opportunity to respond.
Yes, I have expressed support for some of Tommy Robinsonβs views, particularly his willingness to raise issues such as grooming gangs at a time when many felt these concerns were not being properly addressed. Agreeing with someone on certain issues does not mean endorsing everything they say or do.
I believe in freedom of speech, holding those in power to account and speaking up about issues that others might prefer to ignore.
However, I do find it interesting that the focus is on social media posts I made years ago, rather than on my own background and experiences.
At just 18 years old, I was sent to fight in Iraq under a Labour government. I served my country, yet we went to war without being provided with all the equipment we needed. I would be interested to see the same level of scrutiny applied to the politicians responsible for sending young men and women into conflict without adequately equipping them.
Today, I am standing as a Reform UK candidate for Risca East because I want to stand up for local people, challenge a council that I believe has let our community down, and fight for greater accountability and value for taxpayersβ money.
I will not apologise for having opinions or for speaking up on issues I believe matter. I am happy to be judged on my views, my service to this country and, ultimately, what I intend to do for the people I hope to represent.
Kind regards,
Reform UK candidate for Risca East

π¨An elected representative's job is to speak up for the people who elected them, even when the subjects they raise are uncomfortable or controversial.
The Senedd should be a place for open debate, challenge and accountability, not a place where difficult conversations are shut down.
You don't have to agree with Joe Martin's views to defend his right to raise issues on behalf of his constituents.
Democracy must allow room for disagreement.
Free speech matters π£οΈ

White British people are set to be a minority in our own country by 2063.
This is morally wrong. We made the country the way it is, and if too many people from other countries move here, instead of assimilating to our way of life, they will bring with them theirs.
Numbers n assimilate a small number of people from other cultures and countries over a long period of time. We cannot assimilate millions over the course of a generation.
Great Britain is not a collection of people who share the same passport, it is not a hotel, and we are not a charity. It is the ancestral home of the British people, who form an extended family, whom I love.

π¨A VETERAN WHO SERVED HIS COUNTRY DESERVES BETTER.
This evening I've visited a friend, a fellow veteran I served alongside in Iraq, and what I've seen has honestly left me disgusted.
He's fallen on hard times, is living with PTSD and, following a serious fall which resulted in a broken ankle and surgery, has now found himself homeless in Newport.
Although accommodation has been provided, the conditions are frankly unacceptable. He's been placed in shared accommodation with people whose circumstances mean he doesn't feel it's suitable or safe for his young children to visit him. I've seen the conditions myself, and I wouldn't consider them fit for anyone to live in.
Someone who once stood alongside me serving our country should not be left feeling abandoned when he needs help the most.
I've raised this with my friend and fellow Reform member, Welsh Parliament Member @ArtWrightMS
Art and his team are now providing support, and Art personally raised the situation with the First Minister in the Senedd today. Unfortunately, the response did little to address the very real concerns being raised.
Our veterans deserve dignity, safety and somewhere they can call home. They shouldn't have to fight another battle just to get the basic support they need.
I'll be doing everything I can to support my friend π«‘

Homelessness is a major issue amoungst the veteran community in the UK.
Today, I asked the first minister about the governments plans to tackle this problem.

π¨ WHEN STANDING UP FOR CHANGE COMES AT A PERSONAL COST ππ»
The level of election interference and underhand tactics throughout this campaign has been staggering. I knew standing for election would come with its challenges, but I never expected it to go this far, including anonymous attempts to involve my family's personal lives and even my wife's workplace.
It tells me that challenging the established political order brings its own pressures. But I won't be intimidated, I won't be silenced and I certainly won't be walking away.
I'll keep fighting for the people who want change, for those who feel they've never had a voice, and for those who have simply lost faith in politics.
Whatever is thrown my way, I'll keep standing up for Risca East and my country π΄σ §σ ’σ ·σ ¬σ ³σ Ώπ¬π§
