What we’re sharing
Some of the posts we’ve shared recently across our social channels.
On Remembrance Sunday, members of our branch committee joined communities across Sussex to honour the fallen.
Chris French and Tim Cooper marched in Burgess Hill, then laid a wreath. Annemarie Moore laid one at Haywards Heath and Christian Pitt marched with his cadets in Lewes.
Annemarie Moore, our Branch Treasurer, laid a wreath at Haywards Heath War Memorial on behalf of Reform UK Mid Sussex.
A moving morning on Muster Green – honouring all those from our town who never came home.
We will remember them.
Our Branch Chairman, Chris French, and Deputy Chairman, Tim Cooper, marched together in Burgess Hill this morning – then laid a wreath at the War Memorial on behalf of Reform UK Mid Sussex.
We stood with our neighbours to honour and remember the men and women who gave all.
Tim Cooper, our Deputy Chairman, wore his father's medals in Burgess Hill today – who fought with Monty at El Alamein and won the MC at the First Battle of Cassino in 1944.
One family's story among so many – and the reason we stop each year to remember.
We will remember them.
Sid Lewis was just 13 when he fought on the Somme in a machine-gun team – Nigel's right, we mustn't lose these stories.
Every memorial in Mid Sussex carries names like his. This weekend, we remember them.
Sarah planted a cross in Parliament for the fallen of Runcorn, Frodsham and Helsby – a fitting way to mark it.
Our towns and villages lost their sons too. Tomorrow, Mid Sussex remembers them.
Tomorrow is Remembrance Sunday, and Nigel's documentary goes out at 5pm – filmed over two days at the Somme, Vimy Ridge and Ypres.
Many of us have a young man in the family who served, or who never came home.
Their names are on the memorials in Haywards Heath, Burgess Hill and our villages. Pay your respects in the morning, then watch it in the evening.
We will remember them.
Suella Braverman says 200,000–300,000 of our kids failed English GCSE this year – and she'd rather the government fixed that first.
Parents in Mid Sussex would say the same – get the basics right before anything else!
Good to see Cllr James Tidy standing with the Chagossians outside the Royal Courts of Justice.
Labour is set on handing the Chagos Islands to Mauritius – yet the people whose home it is say they haven't been listened to.
Reform UK would put British territory and the Chagossian people first – not sign them away.
Join us. Vote Reform! 💙
