We are ready to go at #Saltdean hustings #LDreporter Image
Starting off it's @valeriemgray is introducing the SDP. She believes the state should provide good services for the public and the private sector should work in harmony. Private companies should be successful and make money to develop the welfare of the nation #LDreporter
@valeriemgray .@Elaine4Kemptown for the Green Party now, a former councillor, she wants to stand up for the people of #Brighton Kemptown and #Peacehaven. She wants a more sustainable society. There's been 14 years of cruel Conservative austerity, Brexit has alienated us and made us poorer
@valeriemgray @Elaine4Kemptown There is no growth on a dead planet. The Greens want a liveable future for everyone says @Elaine4Kemptown #LDreporter #Saltdean #Brighton
@valeriemgray @Elaine4Kemptown Conservative @Khobi_Vallis a former civil servant, she believes being a dedicated public servant is important. She wants to listen to the people and understand what people care about. Together people can solve problems. She is "unrelentlessly positive" #LDreporter #Brighton
@valeriemgray @Elaine4Kemptown @Khobi_Vallis She grew up in Surrey and Sussex and only wants to represent people in those counties. She used to work in the Home Office and is conscious of security. #LDreporter #Brighton
@valeriemgray @Elaine4Kemptown @Khobi_Vallis Stewart Stone now for the Lib Dems, he grew up here and spent his youth listening to good music in dodgy venues. He learned to swim here in #Saltdean Lido. He has worked in finance, HR and has run his own recruitment business #LDreporter #Brighton
@valeriemgray @Elaine4Kemptown @Khobi_Vallis He has a passion for getting things done. The key Lib Dem policies are supporting the NHS and stopping the sewage #LDreporter #Brighton #Saltdean
@valeriemgray @Elaine4Kemptown @Khobi_Vallis Finally @wardchr82 an Albion season ticket holder who grew up in #Brighton. Conservatives have run the country into the ground, the Greens ran the city into the ground. Labour wants to change the path we've been on for the last 14 years for a better sustainable future #LDreporter
@valeriemgray @Elaine4Kemptown @Khobi_Vallis @wardchr82 If you're fed up with not being able to get a GP appointment and sewage in the seas vote Labour says @wardchr82 #LDreporter #Brighton #Saltdean
@valeriemgray @Elaine4Kemptown @Khobi_Vallis @wardchr82 Now finally Emma Lucy Ward the independent candidate who is free to vote and represent the people of #Brighton Kemptown and Peacehaven for a better, fairer and truer democracy, with people's assemblies and find out what is real for the constituency #LDreporter
@valeriemgray @Elaine4Kemptown @Khobi_Vallis @wardchr82 Emma Lucy Ward has been talking to people in Kemptown about their concerns about drug addicts, the life guards, to teenagers. She promises a better truer democracy for the people of #Peacehaven, Kemptown and the Deans #LDreporter #Brighton
@valeriemgray @Elaine4Kemptown @Khobi_Vallis @wardchr82 Cllr Mark Earthey asks if lack of money or disorganisation is the problem with the NHS and what will make it fit for purpose? #LDreporter #Brighton
@valeriemgray @Elaine4Kemptown @Khobi_Vallis @wardchr82 .@Khobi_Vallis says it's more than money, we need to train more doctors and nurses. There is an aging population. Pharmacy first is important so people don't have to wait. Social care is backing up the NHS we need people to get into social care and improve the structures
@valeriemgray @Elaine4Kemptown @Khobi_Vallis @wardchr82 Emma Lucy Ward says there is a big issue with health and a reactive health services when wholistic services should be looked at. Food is medicine. It's what we need every day. People should eat better, natural foods. Get rid of middle managers and stop repeating ourselves
@valeriemgray @Elaine4Kemptown @Khobi_Vallis @wardchr82 Young people are unhappy, why are we so unhappy? We don't have a sense of community. We spend too much time looking at screens. Voluntary projects, get cold in the water, have a laugh. There are basic and cheap things that would improve the health of the nation #LDreporter
@valeriemgray @Elaine4Kemptown @Khobi_Vallis @wardchr82 Money or structures, it's both says @wardchr82 We all know someone on a waiting list. The NHS needs reform, it is one of our greatest institutions and it needs repairing in the next 5 years We need to get the waiting lists down. More dentists and mental health support #LDreporter
@valeriemgray @Elaine4Kemptown @Khobi_Vallis @wardchr82 I just fell off the internet
@valeriemgray @Elaine4Kemptown @Khobi_Vallis @wardchr82 I can't do this with my thumbs I'm afraid
@valeriemgray @Elaine4Kemptown @Khobi_Vallis @wardchr82 I'm back and we're talking small businesses. Emma Lucy Ward is annoyed that big companies like Microsoft suck things up and don't pay much tax. During covid her neighbours got deliveries. What's going on with faceless corporations suffocating the business world #LDreporter
@valeriemgray @Elaine4Kemptown @Khobi_Vallis @wardchr82 .@Khobi_Vallis is the wife and sister of small business owners. Energy bills of £3k per business is not enough. The backdrop geopolitically is difficult beyond this country. There's a shift to supporting apprenticeships. Removing red tape get the state out of the way #LDreporter
@valeriemgray @Elaine4Kemptown @Khobi_Vallis @wardchr82 We have Polly a first time voter. As universities are under pressure what will each party to support education.
Stewart has children in their 20s, he is in discussions with the universities about student mental health and wellbeing #LDreporter #Brighton
@valeriemgray @Elaine4Kemptown @Khobi_Vallis @wardchr82 .@Khobi_Vallis says there's a huge move towards apprenticeships and removing non-academic degrees, they should leave to jobs, there is unrest as people ask for details. It will allow universities to offer broader things. The whole landscape needs redoing. People need to earn
@valeriemgray @Elaine4Kemptown @Khobi_Vallis @wardchr82 .@Khobi_Vallis is 35 and still paying her student loan for a degree she has a job related to.

@Elaine4Kemptown says lecturers are losing their jobs, we need the arts and English degrees. It's not a training course. You gain training and life skills. She sees student stress
@valeriemgray @Elaine4Kemptown @Khobi_Vallis @wardchr82 Greens would abolish tuition fees through a costed plan says @Elaine4Kemptown Universities are under financial pressure, classes are getting bigger. People should study what they want to study and enjoy the experience her generation had #LDreporter #Brighton
@valeriemgray @Elaine4Kemptown @Khobi_Vallis @wardchr82 Emma Lucy Ward says 5% used to go to university now it's 95% the academic world seems to be dumbing down. Her second daughter did okay, her third daughter is at drama school. Where are the apprenticeships for young people who are not academic #LDreporter #Brighton
@valeriemgray @Elaine4Kemptown @Khobi_Vallis @wardchr82 There is over emphasis on going to university when you can be a good citizen says @valeriemgray we don't want graduates working in call centres. We need to rebalance spending on tertiary education for vocational training. Some universities have a high drop out rate #LDreporter
@valeriemgray @Elaine4Kemptown @Khobi_Vallis @wardchr82 We have brilliant universities says @wardchr82
he is proud Labour increased going to university. Now it's 40% more people should have that opportunity. Most advanced countries have that level of university. It's snobby to say the working class shouldn't go to university
@valeriemgray @Elaine4Kemptown @Khobi_Vallis @wardchr82 The current funding system doesn't work says @wardchr82 The loans and funding system is not fair. The Blair government missed non-university routes which Kier Starmer backs (reference to his dad the tool maker) #LDreporter #Brighton
@valeriemgray @Elaine4Kemptown @Khobi_Vallis @wardchr82 Angie from #Saltdean asks if candidates will call for a ceasefire in Gaza and end arms licences to Israel.

@wardchr82 says yes to a ceasefire as there is a humanitarian catastrophe. The Palestinian state needs to be recognised through the peace process. #LDreporter
@valeriemgray @Elaine4Kemptown @Khobi_Vallis @wardchr82 He is not keen on sending offencive weapons but defence @Wardchr82
Emma Lucy Ward is concerned, we call for a ceasefire but people seem to want a war. Can Westminster stop it?
Stewart Stone wants a ceasefire and aid increase but also a need to rebuild. It's a sad issue
@valeriemgray @Elaine4Kemptown @Khobi_Vallis @wardchr82 Ukraine has been rocking on for a couple of years says Stewart Stone, he is concerned there is still hatred and divisiveness. In every situation with urgency a plan need sot be in place for a two-state solution #LDreporter #Brighotn
@valeriemgray @Elaine4Kemptown @Khobi_Vallis @wardchr82 There is nothing the UK can do to stop this says @valeriemgray There is heckling... there is no way we have this influence, the USA can't do that and they are more powerful. We can call for a ceasefire, no one wants to see people killed. She does not support sanctions #LDreporter
@valeriemgray @Elaine4Kemptown @Khobi_Vallis @wardchr82 What are the arms used for? Are we going to tell people which guns they can use says @valeriemgray the scale of arms sold to Israel is minuscule. We can object to death but the influence of one MP or this country is minuscule #LDreporter #Brighton
@valeriemgray @Elaine4Kemptown @Khobi_Vallis @wardchr82 The UK has amazing diplomats says @Khobi_Vallis Hamas are terrorists and 7Oct was terrorism. The Palastinian people and Hamas are not the same thing. The people are collateral damage and Hamas knows that. She wants a ceasefire and the hostages released #LDreporter #Brighton
@valeriemgray @Elaine4Kemptown @Khobi_Vallis @wardchr82 .@Elaine4Kemptown says it's heartbreaking to see innocent children killed. The Greens support an immediate and permanent ceasefire. This nation has a voice and powers to get around the table for an international effort to bring peace to this region #LDreporter #Brighton
@valeriemgray @Elaine4Kemptown @Khobi_Vallis @wardchr82 .@Elaine4Kemptown was outside #Hove Town Hall for theprotest against expanding the arms factory in #Brighton and she was pleased the council did not grant planning permission. A future is needed where Palestinians and Israeli's can live in peace and justice #LDreporter #Saltdean
@valeriemgray @Elaine4Kemptown @Khobi_Vallis @wardchr82 Richard Brook asks about housing policy, last year Kier Starmer said he wants to devolve powers to cities but now Labour wants to force through millions of houses in the country #LDreporter #Brighton #Saltdean
@valeriemgray @Elaine4Kemptown @Khobi_Vallis @wardchr82 Labour is planning to build homes because we have a housing crisis there is a lack of affordable quality houses. You need to build more houses says @wardchr82 It is not overriding localism. Labour will increase devolved powers. It's houses targeted in the right places #LDreporter
@valeriemgray @Elaine4Kemptown @Khobi_Vallis @wardchr82 Without planning reform and infrastructure we won't deal with the housing crisis says @wardchr82 More need to be done for renters rights and Labour will bring new powers to end no fault evictions and will work to reduce homelessness #LDreporter #Brighton #Saltdean
@valeriemgray @Elaine4Kemptown @Khobi_Vallis @wardchr82 .@Elaine4Kemptown it's hard being on the planning committee to follow a certain set of rules and make the decision in the moment. That needs to change, local people should say what is needed locally. The city plan had building on the green belt but the government makes you do it.
@valeriemgray @Elaine4Kemptown @Khobi_Vallis @wardchr82 We need to end right to buy and the Greens want to build more social homes says @Elaine4Kemptown Rent controls are also important but people need to be involved with the decision #LDreporter #Brighton #Saltdean
@valeriemgray @Elaine4Kemptown @Khobi_Vallis @wardchr82 Conservatives want to abolish stamp duty, @Khobi_Vallis says there are 100k social houses in disrepair. Rough sleeping doesn't help homelessness. Police don't have the powers they need to deal with it. Councils need to deliver for local people and that's not happening #LDreporter
@valeriemgray @Elaine4Kemptown @Khobi_Vallis @wardchr82 This sounds like Monopoly says Stewart Stone, the Lib Dems want to rent to own for people who can't get the money for a deposit which is a lot of young people. There's rental homes in a shocking state. Housing cuts into health and education #LDreporter #Brighton #Saltdean
@valeriemgray @Elaine4Kemptown @Khobi_Vallis @wardchr82 The gas works development is going to appeal but what about local people say Stewart Stone #LDreporter #Brighton #Saltdean
@valeriemgray @Elaine4Kemptown @Khobi_Vallis @wardchr82 There are so many empty homes. Why are so many used as Air BnB Emma Lucy Ward . A man she spoke to was living in an empty building and then it was border up. He is in a one-bedroom flat with his teenager. It's insane. Let people take care for affordable homes. #LDreporter
@valeriemgray @Elaine4Kemptown @Khobi_Vallis @wardchr82 Housing in this country is a scandal says @valeriemgray it keeps being left to the private sector and it doesn't happen. Last year's target was 300k but 110k built what was needed was 515k a year. We are not able to build those number of houses. #LDreporter #Brighton
@valeriemgray @Elaine4Kemptown @Khobi_Vallis @wardchr82 We are importing Birmingham's population every 2 years we're going backwards, prices & rents will go up and the demand for space will go up There is no simple solution says @valeriemgray this is why families cannot afford somewhere to live and young people live with their parents
@valeriemgray @Elaine4Kemptown @Khobi_Vallis @wardchr82 We've had houses built in #Saltdean, St Aubyns, St Dunstans, hundreds of houses in #Peacehaven says @bridgetfish We are full, the A259 is in gridlock. 30% of the homes in west Saltdean are lived in by one person. We need to free those homes for people on the housing ladder
@valeriemgray @Elaine4Kemptown @Khobi_Vallis @wardchr82 @bridgetfish Marie Sansom is a Green Party member and a member of @AGHASTBRIGHTON brown field policy means contaminated land is being churned up @lloyd_rm was working with campaigners, what do you know about this to take on his work #LDreporter #Brighton #Saltdean
@valeriemgray @Elaine4Kemptown @Khobi_Vallis @wardchr82 @bridgetfish @AGHASTBRIGHTON @lloyd_rm Stewart Stone campaigned to stop the gasworks development because of his worries about contamination and he worked with @AGHASTBRIGHTON the social housing plan was not accurate. He spent 5 hours watching the debate. He would stand against it #LDreporter #Brighton
@valeriemgray @Elaine4Kemptown @Khobi_Vallis @wardchr82 @bridgetfish @AGHASTBRIGHTON @lloyd_rm Emma Lucy Ward was also at the @AGHASTBRIGHTON protest. She says it is scandalous and would campaign against it #LDreporter #Brighton #Saltdean
@valeriemgray @Elaine4Kemptown @Khobi_Vallis @wardchr82 @bridgetfish @AGHASTBRIGHTON @lloyd_rm It's important to develop on brown field not green belt says @wardchr82 but he does understand the @AGHASTBRIGHTON concerns and he will pick up on @lloyd_rm work and work with community activists #LDreporter #Brighton
@valeriemgray @Elaine4Kemptown @Khobi_Vallis @wardchr82 @bridgetfish @AGHASTBRIGHTON @lloyd_rm We need to support using brownfield but it is a no brainer to not build on contaminated land and she would fight it says @valeriemgray #LDreporter #Brighton
@valeriemgray @Elaine4Kemptown @Khobi_Vallis @wardchr82 @bridgetfish @AGHASTBRIGHTON @lloyd_rm We must protect the green belt and build on brownfield, @Khobi_Vallis is very concerned about building on contaminated land and would support the campaign once she knows more #LDreporter #Brighton
@valeriemgray @Elaine4Kemptown @Khobi_Vallis @wardchr82 @bridgetfish @AGHASTBRIGHTON @lloyd_rm .@Elaine4Kemptown We need housing in Kemptown but in the right places. She thanks the @AGHASTBRIGHTON She hopes the appeal is not successful #LDreporter #Brighton #Saltdean
@valeriemgray @Elaine4Kemptown @Khobi_Vallis @wardchr82 @bridgetfish @AGHASTBRIGHTON @lloyd_rm Nicky from Rottingdean a sea swimmer asks for the candidate's parties plans to reform the water industry and put the environment and health first #LDreporter #Brighton #Saltdean
@valeriemgray @Elaine4Kemptown @Khobi_Vallis @wardchr82 @bridgetfish @AGHASTBRIGHTON @lloyd_rm .@Khobi_Vallis We are lucky to have so many places to swim, there is a commitment to put additional requirements on water companies to make information about sewage available. It's important something about the sewage pipe but noise #LDreporter #Brighton
@valeriemgray @Elaine4Kemptown @Khobi_Vallis @wardchr82 @bridgetfish @AGHASTBRIGHTON @lloyd_rm You can't rely on clean water or bathing water any more says @wardchr82 last parliament millions was paid out to executives as more sewage was pumped into the sea. We need to ban bonuses and criminalise those who keep doing it and stop them getting away with it #LDreporter
@valeriemgray @Elaine4Kemptown @Khobi_Vallis @wardchr82 @bridgetfish @AGHASTBRIGHTON @lloyd_rm There needs to be proper inspections of every water outlet says @wardchr82 We need to do more. He wants to work with councillors, the water companies and Ofwat and residents to take action. That can only start with a change of government. Labour is not going to renationalise
@valeriemgray @Elaine4Kemptown @Khobi_Vallis @wardchr82 @bridgetfish @AGHASTBRIGHTON @lloyd_rm Paying to to share holders will make it more expensive says @wardchr82

"tax the rich" is the shout from the crowd #LDreporter #Brighton #Saltdean
@valeriemgray @Elaine4Kemptown @Khobi_Vallis @wardchr82 @bridgetfish @AGHASTBRIGHTON @lloyd_rm The Greens will put water back in public hands says @Elaine4Kemptown We don't have a choice. The water company does not do the job and pays 11% not back into infrastructure. We need to get this shit out of our sea. #LDreporter #Brighton #Hove
@valeriemgray @Elaine4Kemptown @Khobi_Vallis @wardchr82 @bridgetfish @AGHASTBRIGHTON @lloyd_rm .@Elaine4Kemptown got Southern Water to come to committee and found them slippery and chief executives come and go. We have to get control back of our water #Ldreporter #Brighton #Saltdean
@valeriemgray @Elaine4Kemptown @Khobi_Vallis @wardchr82 @bridgetfish @AGHASTBRIGHTON @lloyd_rm It is disgusting we're having this conversation says Stewart Stone. Ofwat isn't doing anything. We need to ban bonuses for the water companies until the problems are sorted. We should stop dumping sewage. He returned to the sea but it is appalling #LDreporter #Brighton #Saltdean
@valeriemgray @Elaine4Kemptown @Khobi_Vallis @wardchr82 @bridgetfish @AGHASTBRIGHTON @lloyd_rm .@valeriemgray says the SDP will renationalise water. it's an essential public service and should not be in the hands of profit making private enterprise. She would like to see profits ploughed back into improving the water. The profits go abroad. #Ldreporter #Brighton #Saltdean
@valeriemgray @Elaine4Kemptown @Khobi_Vallis @wardchr82 @bridgetfish @AGHASTBRIGHTON @lloyd_rm We need clean water every day. It should be cleaned and returned to us efficiently says Emma Lucy Ward #LDreporter #Brighton #Saltdean
@valeriemgray @Elaine4Kemptown @Khobi_Vallis @wardchr82 @bridgetfish @AGHASTBRIGHTON @lloyd_rm VAT on private schools? with two of the largest private schools in the country
@Khobi_Vallis no, @wardchr82 yes with SEN exemption, Stewart no, Emma no, @Valeriemgrey no, @ElaineHammond4 yes but SEN exemption #LDreporter #Brighton #Saltdean
@valeriemgray @Elaine4Kemptown @Khobi_Vallis @wardchr82 @bridgetfish @AGHASTBRIGHTON @lloyd_rm @ElaineHammond4 The cost of DV is £78 million, one in 5 police crimes is DV, three women a fortnight lose their lives to their partner. Every part of our lives is impacted by DV, what do the candidates plan to do to stop this crime? #LDreporter #Brighton #Saltdean
@valeriemgray @Elaine4Kemptown @Khobi_Vallis @wardchr82 @bridgetfish @AGHASTBRIGHTON @lloyd_rm @ElaineHammond4 People who commit this violence need to be put away says @valeriemgray there is no magic bullet. This is an issue that needs more consideration #LDreporter #Brighton #Saltdean
@valeriemgray @Elaine4Kemptown @Khobi_Vallis @wardchr82 @bridgetfish @AGHASTBRIGHTON @lloyd_rm @ElaineHammond4 Emma Lucy Ward says the root is important, she does not know enough to answer she would like to learn more. Is it the way boys are brought up? There is something amiss in society to have those statistics. Locking people up is not the answer #LDreporter #Brighton #Saltdean
@valeriemgray @Elaine4Kemptown @Khobi_Vallis @wardchr82 @bridgetfish @AGHASTBRIGHTON @lloyd_rm @ElaineHammond4 .@wardchr82 worked with Kier Starmer in the shadow Home Office and his priority was DV, during his time in the CPS he worked on it. He has worked with Womens' Aid. This is why Kier Starmer got into politics. He wants to change the courts to be victim centred #LDreporter #Brighton
@valeriemgray @Elaine4Kemptown @Khobi_Vallis @wardchr82 @bridgetfish @AGHASTBRIGHTON @lloyd_rm @ElaineHammond4 .@wardchr82 is proud to work with Kier Starmer because of his stance on domestic violence and abuse #LDreporter #Brighton
@valeriemgray @Elaine4Kemptown @Khobi_Vallis @wardchr82 @bridgetfish @AGHASTBRIGHTON @lloyd_rm @ElaineHammond4 .@Khobi_Vallis has worked with survivors. She believes in women-led services for women. If they call the helpline and a man answers they will not ring back. Decommissioning services from women-led charities is not okay #LDreporter #Brighton #Saltdean
@valeriemgray @Elaine4Kemptown @Khobi_Vallis @wardchr82 @bridgetfish @AGHASTBRIGHTON @lloyd_rm @ElaineHammond4 Stewart Stone is shocked by the stats, he worries about violent videos, it's not healthy. He wants safe reliable places for women to go and be properly funded. We need to look out for friends, family and work colleagues and spot domestic abuse and give them support #LDreporter
@valeriemgray @Elaine4Kemptown @Khobi_Vallis @wardchr82 @bridgetfish @AGHASTBRIGHTON @lloyd_rm @ElaineHammond4 .@Elaine4Kemptown central government has hollowed out local services We need to trust women and up conviction rates as it seems perpetrators can get away with it Messaging needs to be out there, we need to look out for each other. Greens manifesto says to end violence #LDreporter
@valeriemgray @Elaine4Kemptown @Khobi_Vallis @wardchr82 @bridgetfish @AGHASTBRIGHTON @lloyd_rm @ElaineHammond4 .@valeriemgray Labour will win with a huge majority. Your vote will not change that. Here you have an opportunity to use your vote for what you believe in. Not stop the Tories, but what you believe in. Read what the SDP has to offer and vote for us, you have nothing to lose
@valeriemgray @Elaine4Kemptown @Khobi_Vallis @wardchr82 @bridgetfish @AGHASTBRIGHTON @lloyd_rm @ElaineHammond4 .@Elaine4Kemptown You should vote for who you believe in and who has the best policy for your area. We will take water out of public hands, clean the sea and end NHS privatisation and end right to buy. Climate change is not being taken seriously. Strong Green voices we need
@valeriemgray @Elaine4Kemptown @Khobi_Vallis @wardchr82 @bridgetfish @AGHASTBRIGHTON @lloyd_rm @ElaineHammond4 Stewart Stone has enjoyed the evening. Read the Lib Dem manifesto. Go for the candidate with the skills and experience for real change, not just more of the same. Lib Dems have the best policies and he has the right skills, experience and local credentials #LDreporter
@valeriemgray @Elaine4Kemptown @Khobi_Vallis @wardchr82 @bridgetfish @AGHASTBRIGHTON @lloyd_rm @ElaineHammond4 .@Khobi_Vallis wants to be the candidate who works for people and says to get in touch with her by email as she wants to listen #LDreporter #Brighton #Saltdean
@valeriemgray @Elaine4Kemptown @Khobi_Vallis @wardchr82 @bridgetfish @AGHASTBRIGHTON @lloyd_rm @ElaineHammond4 Emma is a Trailblazer who wants to change democracy. We need to talk and discuss real issues. #LDreporter #Brighton #Saltdean
@valeriemgray @Elaine4Kemptown @Khobi_Vallis @wardchr82 @bridgetfish @AGHASTBRIGHTON @lloyd_rm @ElaineHammond4 .@wardchr82 There are huge challenges are ahead. Nobody has voted in this election. There is everything to fight for and the choice is in your hands for 5 more years of Conservatives or credible transformative change with Labour. Is anything better than it was 14 years ago?
@valeriemgray @Elaine4Kemptown @Khobi_Vallis @wardchr82 @bridgetfish @AGHASTBRIGHTON @lloyd_rm @ElaineHammond4 And that's the end of the hustings. #LDreporter #Brighton #Saltdean

The gas works development is going to be marketed at the investment market which does not provide homes for local people says Gill Williams.
