| 1637377899874361345 | Fao @NorthHertsDC Returning Officer, are you aware that Hitchin & Harpenden @Conservatives, @BimAfolami MP’s Constituency are sending voters Postal Vote registration forms with a return envelope to the Conservatives? #ToriesOut255 #GeneralElectionNow #BBCLauraK #ridge https://t.co/fxYkso4mYu | 2554 |
| 1637245282717954048 | @markdpryan @Conservatives I hope @BimAfolami is able to explain this alleged attempt at corruption in his constituency to the @ElectoralCommUK | 130 |
| 1636503963989168128 | #WTF? Tory MP @BimAfolami trying to argue on #bbcqt that the rise in Pension Allowance announced in budget will "benefit everyone" not just the very rich. They really do take us for fools. | 75 |
| 1637390168239013888 | If everyone sent an anonymous note saying “STOP COMMITTING ELECTORAL FRAUD” to this Freepost address then it would bankrupt @BimAfolami’s local Conservative Party who are attempting to use illegal methods to suppress postal votes. What a shame that would be. https://t.co/Jva8jROUPn | 37 |
| 1637419408027951111 | @Patrick60715592 @BuffDavis @NorthHertsDC @Conservatives @BimAfolami Voters can apply for a genuine Postal Vote here 👇🏽 https://t.co/yDro8MUN7a | 37 |
| 1636503405672771585 | This is what @Conservatives @BimAfolami means Re #Pensions In other words, he talks the usual Tory BS #Bbcqt #Newsnight https://t.co/jlD7loDzhB | 26 |
| 1637401321903906818 | @CourierBoyUK @NorthHertsDC @Conservatives @BimAfolami Even more pertinent when you know that the Returning Officer for the Hitchin and Harpenden Constituency is at St Albans City & District Council not North Herts. Ofcourse the fact that the next elections are for District and Parish Councils not General makes it even more suspect. | 19 |
| 1636642808286134273 | Dear @BimAfolami and @libdemdaisy please listen to @DrTOMontgomery. We need to consign the obscenity of trophy hunting to history @PeterEgan6 @JournoJane https://t.co/fXyhWzR0QF | 18 |
| 1637391397593440256 | @CourierBoyUK @NorthHertsDC @Conservatives @BimAfolami Bottom left there is a data sharing clause from the Conservative Party. Printed on the form. It's designed to scrape data about postal voters who vote earlier than poll day. @ElectoralCommUK | 18 |
| 1636513760239050752 | 1/ Last month I wrote twice to @BimAfolami, Tory MP for Hitchin & Harpenden, about junior doctor issues as the BMA rep for junior doctors at L&D Hospital where many of his constituents are treated. His office replied saying he wants a virtual meeting. We confirm the date for 9/3. | 17 |

| 1637433778904727553 | @SpacesSteve @NorthHertsDC @Conservatives @BimAfolami Feel free to report it to the Electoral Commission, the more they get to hear about these incidents the better | 138 |
| 1637350894604804096 | @markdpryan @Conservatives I suggest that we all write to Hitchin and Harpenden Conservatives at their Freepost address saying we don't approve of what they do. That will cost them. In fact send them anything you like, your junk mail, empty envelopes, old postcards. @BimAfolami would love to hear from you | 129 |
| 1637394901192065036 | @CourierBoyUK @NorthHertsDC @Conservatives @BimAfolami Wonder if this is happening across the country? Looks dodgy as hell to me. | 104 |
| 1637432148381560834 | @CourierBoyUK @NorthHertsDC @Conservatives @BimAfolami Yep my wife has had one from our local Tory Muppet Karl McCartney in Lincoln. Would you please advise if this is legal, otherwise I'm off to the electoral commission. | 96 |
