Huge thank you to John Lamont MP for raising this issue. The last Conservative had blocked LNER cutting services to Morpeth and Berwick. The current government and our MP did nothing to stop them by contrast.

Watch Robbie Lammas say Kemi Badenoch’s turned it around 💪

“I’m going to leave Reform. I’ve had enough. It’s not what I signed up to. I feel I’ve been misled, but moreover, I’ve realised that I’ve made literally the – probably the biggest mistake of my life.

I left the party I love because I thought the party was over. This was back last year when the Conservatives were not announcing any policy. They hadn’t yet committed to leaving the ECHR (European Convention on Human Rights). And Kemi Badenoch’s turned it around.”

Natural England, a government organisation, wants to cull thousands of Dartmoor ponies in the name of ‘biodiversity’.

We cannot let this happen.

Keir Starmer could stop this senseless slaughter. The Labour government must not let an unaccountable quango and its mad ideas kill off Dartmoor’s beloved ponies.

Sign our petition to demand Keir Starmer overrules Natural England, and stops it immediately.

📢 Stop the War on the Countryside 📢

The Countryside Alliance has taken the message directly to Westminster 🚐

Rural communities across Northumberland are fed up the Labour policies that affect farming, land management, countryside jobs, and rural traditions 🚜

The countryside doesn’t need a culture war. It is home to hardworking families, farmers, gamekeepers, small businesses, and communities that deserve to be heard 👫

We stand with those calling for policies that support, rather than undermine, rural livelihoods and the future of our countryside 👍

🌿 Rural voices matter.
🌿 Rural jobs matter.
🌿 The countryside matters.

Another Reform UK councillor has quit the party, calling his decision to join “the biggest mistake of my life” ❌

Medway councillor Robbie Lammas has left Reform UK just eight months after defecting from the Conservatives, saying: “I’ve had enough, it’s not what I signed up to, and I feel I’ve been misled.” 😳

He also said Reform was “good at spin, but struggle with good governance” and admitted: “Yeah, I am embarrassed about it. It was a huge mistake.” 📉

Perhaps most tellingly, Lammas claimed: “Lots of others from Reform have told me they too feel it was a mistake to defect but they’re not in a position to publicly admit it.” 👀

His comments are a reminder that governing communities requires more than slogans and headlines. It takes experience, competence and a genuine commitment to delivering for local residents. 🏛️

Here in Northumberland, Conservative councillors remain focused on the issues that matter most to local people: protecting services, supporting communities and providing responsible leadership ✅
