The authoritarian and toxic environment that has been cultivated in the Hillingdon Labour Party has resulted in chaos, with a very rapid decline in terms of membership and those willing to put themselves forward for public office.

Its not the pace of change people are disappointed with, Its the lack of change & the ever increasing move to the right. Labour needs to be Labour, not an imitation of Reform, or the Tories. Labour2win have made the party totally unelectable.

I am very pleased that the Met Police
have listened to me & other #Hillingdon residents and thought again about closing Hayes police station's front counter. It's unacceptable that under the previous proposal, NW London would be without a counter service.

In the words of Neil Kinnock ..... A Labour council, a LABOUR council, hiring taxis and skuttling around the city handing section 21 eviction notices to its own tenants !!!! This is what factional control freakery leads to. Absolutely appalling.

Pleased to announce Cllr Scott Farley joined the Hayes Independent Party this morning, after leaving the Labour Party & its toxic environment in September. So its a warm welcome to Scott, who is now the 5th member of the Hayes Independent group on the council.

I would like to officially welcome Cllr Rita Judge to the Hayes Independent Party Group of councillors. Rita left the Labour Party and joined us. So our group is growing. Now, up to 4 councillors. With the prospect of more to join.

This is why there is a housing crisis. Its not immigration, its the lack of social housing with truly affordable rents.

Heathrow’s misleading visualisation. In fact building a third runway over 1200 hectares of green belt, 2 villages, 5 rivers and the M25 will be catastrophic and unimaginably disruptive for the environment and people

Hillingdon Labour Group's new Leadership says its opposition to a 3rd runway remains unchanged, but they will "Revisit" the issue when further plans are published.

Humm, looks like they are getting ready to betray the residents of the Heathrow villages and beyond.

This is how low the Labour Party has now sunk. An MP standing up for people without a voice, like the disabled and the vulnerable, is considered a "knobhead". How insulting. This is not Labour Values, its disgusting

I hate to say, Labour have lost their way. In Hillingdon they have just deselected the very hard working, borough appointed, Domestic Abuse Victims Advocate, Cllr Janet Gardner after 30+ years dedicated public service. Plus they are ignoring safeguarding concerns
