Hi. We emailed you on 28th April offering support. You didn't take us up on the offer but did keep copying us into your emails to the Council. On Tuesday afternoon you added a note to the bottom of an email asking someone to call you. Less than 48 hours later you've posted this…
@mike_reader Hello Mike. Hope you’re well. You’re not replying to my emails about help I need in relation to @WestNorthants naming of an unsuitable school on my son’s latest ill informed EHCP. @markarnull
Members will choose the name. I strongly recommend Votey McVote Face.

Families have watched their local rivers, coastlines and lakes suffer from record levels of pollution. The Conservatives let it happen. Labour will clean it up.
As I recommend in my @thefabians report, Labour should change the Indefinite Leave to Remain and naturalisation rules so all NHS debt must be cleared to apply.
My message to people smugglers: We're going to send back the people you smuggle across the Channel, with our new agreement with France. We're coming after the boats you use, with our new agreement with Germany. We will destroy your business model, piece by piece.
