Labour Councillor Compares Leader Of Wakefield Council to a Pa******le. Absolutely disgusting.

I feel it’s absolutely disgusting for an elected member to make the comparison between Cllr. Johnson and a prolific serial paedohile.
Whilst I’m the first one to advocate for robust and open debate even when that can come across with passion and lustre this is just entirely unreasonable and entirely uncalled for

I think the regional Labour Group must look at this and ask some serious questions about the suitability of their councillors.
I look forward to Cllr. Ayubs response and indeed well due apology.

Whilst we’re very much used to Cllr. Ayubs line from the Ladybird kids book of “everyone I don’t like is a racist” this statement goes beyond the pale.

Great to see work being carried out across the district, looking forward towards more works of this nature being carried out in Hemsworth Ward shortly

🚧 Our teams continue to carry out highway improvement works across the district. This includes:
- Carriageway resurfacing in South Kirkby, Sandal and Ossett
- Removing vegetation and trees in Featherstone, Hemsworth and Upton
- Footway improvements, including patching, and repainting benches and bollards

📍 From resurfacing roads and repairing drainage to maintaining footpaths, a wide range of work takes place across the district each month to help keep our highways network in good condition. These improvements help to make journeys safer and avoid bigger repairs in the future.

Take a look at some of the improvements completed in your area in our latest update: https://orlo.uk/R2abz

URBAN HOUSE MY VIEWS ON GB NEWS

Following the many, many concerns raised by both residents and ourselves as an administration surrounding Urban house, the flagrant lack of accountability from central government and the so far lacklustre response from them and local MPs
(Labour locally are evidently more fussed about standing looking sad in front of Parking signs)

Myself and Council Leader Cllr Karl Johnson went onto GB News to give our take on this wholly unacceptable situation.

As an overwhelmingly elected Reform UK administration in this district we are fighting for our residents to be heard daily.

We have passed a motion demanding of the Home Secretary and Government a closure of both Urban House and Cedar Court.

Urban house, Labour aren’t fussed…..

The pathetically weak response I have thus far received from the Labour Government (or indeed lack of any response in the majority case) is indicative of the stance they have when it comes to protecting our residents, but chiefly the children who fall under our councils remit.

Labour MPs prate on about their concerns about our Reform UK Wakefield administration, they prate on about everything under the sun except the brutal hard facts.

Because of their complacency in the opinion of myself and our administration our council is having its hands tied when it comes to our ability to effectively ensure the safety of our district.

At full council we showed our resolve!

WE DEMAND THE END OF URBAN HOUSE AND CEDAR COURT!

WE DEMAND OUR RESIDENTS CONCERNS ARE HEARD!!!

Standing upto the evil antisemitism of the Greens

Today the Green Councillor Dodd decided to prate on from a perceived moral high ground at me surrounding the decisions of the Reform UK administration here in Wakefield

As many of you know, recently the Green Party passed a motion so horrific it stands only in equal to the stance of the worst Terror groups of the world.

Its aim?

To wipe the people and state of Israel off the map.

A motion put forward by a proud terrorist supporter and equally proudly voted through by the Greens at their conference, a conference proudly attended by Councillor Dodd….

When it comes to morality or questioning our impact the Greens have not a leg to stand on.

As a man whose ancestors suffered the same persecution as millions of other Jews I am unwilling to sit and listen to moral lessons from these Greens.

Today I gave my position, that position is simple:

I am a proud supporter of the rights of the Jewish people to self determination, a sovereign and safe state from the rapists, torturers and terrorists the Green Party has chosen to make its bed and alliance with.

If that makes me a ‘racist’ In the Green’s eyes so be it….

In a time of horrendous antisemitism it’s our collective duty to stand up and push back.

AM YISRAEL CHAI!

The people of Israel still live!
The Jewish people still remain!

Despite what the Green Party wishes.

THEY FLED LIKE COWARDS!

Wakefield Labour and the Greens today at the full meeting rather than sit and listen to the valid and overwhelming concerns surrounding the Illegal immigrant accommodation in Wakefield decided a better course of action would be to strop off in a huff, tail between their legs and prating over their shoulders.

As a council we passed a motion today, following the harrowing and disgusting allegations emanating from Urban House, demanding the Home Secretary close this and the odious Cedar Court and to listen to the people of Wakefield.

We want our women and children safe, our residents heard.

The people of Wakefield have overwhelmingly voted for Reform and we must deliver, this motion starts that process.
