Slogans don't run councils. Nearly 100 Reform councillors across the UK have already resigned, been suspended, or defected because the reality of local governance doesn't match their internet hype.

When people vote for division, this is the chaos they get. Let's keep working to protect Portsmouth’s public services with stable, community-minded leadership that actually brings people together. ✊❀️

Happy Pride Month, Portsmouth! πŸ³οΈβ€πŸŒˆβœ¨

Today marks the start of Pride Month, Portsmouth is a city built on community, solidarity, and vibrant diversity, and this month is all about celebrating love in all its incredible forms.

But as we look at these pictures and feel the joy of Pride, it’s vital to remember exactly why we stand shoulder to shoulder with our LGBT+ community.

Pride isn’t just a festival; it is a vital stand for equality. The LGBT+ community is woven into the very fabric of our daily lives here in Portsmouth.

They are our doctors and nurses caring for us when we are sick, our teachers inspiring the next generation, our cleaners keeping our shared spaces running, and our neighbours, colleagues, and friends who make this city the warm, welcoming place it is.

We celebrate to lift them up, but we also stand firm because the fight for safety, acceptance, and dignity is far from over.

Please take a look at the final photo, It reads: β€œSome people still believe they are better off dead than being gay.”

This heartbreaking reality is why we cannot afford to be silent. It is why we cannot treat Pride as just a party. We stand up, we speak out, and we show up every single day to ensure that every single person in our city knows they are valued, they are loved, and they belong exactly as they are.

Let’s make this month a powerful celebration of love, visibility, and unshakeable solidarity. ✊❀️

Pulled back the curtain on Reform. πŸ”ŽπŸ‘‡When you ask people why they support Reform, they talk about change. πŸ—£οΈ But when you show them what Reform actually stand for on paper, the reaction is pure shock. 😳 People quickly see how dangerous their agenda is for all of us. πŸ”₯

This is why Portsmouth Stand Up to Racism hit the streets to deliver 30,000 STOP Reform information leaflets right across the city! πŸ“¦πŸ‘ In every ward we targeted, people read the information and responded by not voting Reform! πŸ‘‹βŒ Information is king. πŸ‘‘πŸ“–

Tragically, the communities they target with their rhetoric are the exact people who will lose the most if they succeed. πŸ“‰πŸ‘₯

Know exactly who you are backing. πŸ‘₯ It takes minutes to research a party’s actual policies before you hand over your vote. πŸ—³οΈβ±οΈ

Don’t believe the hype. πŸ™…β€β™‚οΈ Read, research, and learn. 🧠 Reform are for the billionaires, not the people! 🏦🚫

A truly historic moment for our city! πŸ“œβœ¨

Huge congratulations to Councillor Abdul Kadir on becoming the first Bengali Lord Mayor of Portsmouth!

Even more special, he takes office as our 100th Lord Mayor during Portsmouth’s 100th centenary year as a city! πŸ’―βš“

Portsmouth is, and always has been, a proud maritime community. For centuries, our naval docks have connected us to the wider world, welcoming people from all corners of the globe to build their lives here. That deep, diverse heritage is exactly what makes Pompey so resilient, vibrant, and unique. Having a Lord Mayor who reflects that multicultural tapestry is something we should all be celebrating. πŸš’βœŠπŸΎπŸ‡¬πŸ‡§

Sadly, but predictably, within just 24 hours of the announcement, the racist trolls have crawled out of the woodwork online. A small, vocal minority of ill informed, uneducated people are trying to use this beautiful milestone to spew hatred and division.
Let’s be absolutely clear: their narrow minded views do not represent the people of Portsmouth. Hatred has no home in our city. πŸ›‘βŒ

Councillor Kadir has lived in and served our community for over 30 years. He is a real champion for our local area, and we stand with him fully as he steps up to represent all of us with unity, understanding, and respect. πŸ’™

Let’s drown out the negativity with Pompey pride! Leave your messages of congratulations for our new Lord Mayor below! πŸ‘‡πŸŽ‰

Two racists and a Holocaust denier.

It hasn’t even been a week since these scumbags were elected, and Reform UK has already been forced to bin them. For anyone who actually knows what this party stands for, it’s zero surprise. If you build a fire out of racism, you can't be shocked when the racists show up to stoke it.
