Rooted in Sussex. Rooting for Sussex. Join me in my campaign to become the Mayor of Sussex. http://timloughton.com
Excited to formally announce that I am throwing my hat in the ring to be the Conservative candidate for the new position of Mayor of Sussex. I will make sure that Sussex people are represented at the top table so that we can shape our own future.
Love this time of year for harvesting produce from the garden. Lots of different coloured potatos including my favourite Pink Fir Apple. And we are lucky to have the most delicious fig tree, plum and black mulberries




Many congratulations
Looking forward to campaigning fiercely with Louise for next May’s election. Having known her since day one of my @Conservatives days (2017!), I know she will run a great campaign and be an excellent Mayor. Her pro-growth, pro-aspiration message is exactly what we need too.

This is wonderful! Huge credit to @prezidentpavel I hope King Charles III - and @Keir_Starmer - will do the same, and that other heads of state and heads of government will follow too. #FreeTibet
The President of Czech Republic @prezidentpavel with the @DalaiLama today in Ladakh. This is the first time a sitting head of state has come to India specifically to visit His Holiness. #Dalailama #CzechRepublic #Tibet
Wishing our brilliant Lionesses the very best of luck in the Euros final today. This team has shown incredible strength, skill, and determination every step of the way. One last push. We are all behind you!
Checking in for the #WEURO2025 final! 👋
Delighted to announce another former minister Gillian Keegan supports me for Sussex Mayor. Getting the right skills for the future Sussex workforce will be absolutely key to the Sussex mayoralty. Another Sussex endorsement from someone who will actually have a vote here next May

Delighted to have the longest serving MP in a Sussex seat and my good friend Nus Ghani supporting my bid to become the Sussex Mayoral candidate. As former business minister Nus knows all about bringing investment to Sussex and I look forward to working with her again

Voting opens today for all Conservative Party members to select their Mayoral candidate for Sussex @kevinhollinrake

I'm backing @timloughton for Sussex Mayor. Here's why:
Oh dear, the tweet below from Yvette has not aged well She said she’d tackle shoplifting. It has in fact rocketed since the election. Cutting police numbers and letting criminals out early might not be the best way to tackle crime, Yvette H/T @callumtprice for spotting this
Shoplifting has soared & shopworkers are facing shameful violence & abuse. Yet the Tories have repeatedly refused to act. Enough is enough. Labour will bring in new law on violence against shopworkers & end the £200 shoplifting rule. Everyone has the right to feel safe at work
First Starmer handed British territory to China’s ally. Now his Government wants to hand over Brits to the Chinese Communist Party Police on request.
Government plans to reintroduce extradition cooperation with Hong Kong are highly concerning. Why does the Government deem this reasonable when freedom of expression, political freedom and the rule of law in Hong Kong have been crushed by The National Security Law and the…
Absolutely disgraceful betrayal of Finn and many others
As a UK resident with a £100,000 bounty from the HK gov, I am gutted by the UK gov’s plan. It contradicts with the UK’s committment over HK issue. It is not only a betrayal to 200,000 UK-Hong Kongers, but also a betrayal to Kier Starmer’s background as a human rights lawyer.

I am backing @timloughton to be the first @Conservatives Mayor of Sussex. Tim would be a terrific mayor, he is hard-working, passionate and a vocal champion for our county. If you're a Conservative member in Sussex, vote for Tim when polls open tomorrow.
Tim would make an absolutely outstanding Mayor of Sussex and I hope the party selects him.
