Reform Fylde office vandalised with soup as Conservative MP Andrew Snowden fumes "you should be ashamed"
Police are investigating after the Reform Fylde office was vandalised at the weekend.
Soup was found smeared over the entrance and windows at the party’s Fylde HQ on The Crescent in St Annes on Saturday (February 14).
Reform said it believes the incident was politically motivated and has been reported to Lancashire Police.
Posting on Facebook, Reform Fylde said: “You may have seen the recent image of what’s happened to our Reform Fylde office.
“While nothing was damaged, the outside of the office was targeted by more than one person.
“So much for the “tolerant left”, when it’s not their view, apparently no one else is allowed one.
“The good news is we have CCTV covering the outside and inside of the office, and the police are now involved.
“Moments like this only strengthen our resolve. We’ve been the biggest political party in Fylde for a while now, and we’re still growing.”
“Grow up or get out of our area”
Andrew Snowden, Conservative MP for Fylde, has hit out at the vandals and said they “should be ashamed”.
“This is not acceptable” he said. “We disagree through the ballot box, not through vandalism.
“I’ve had disagreements with Reform in Fylde and a few of them are not my biggest fans! But that’s democracy and I respect that.
“I’ve personally been subjected to attempts at intimidation and harassment during my time in politics and it’s not been nice for my family or me. But I don’t know what those people sought to achieve - as all it did was make me more determined to take a stand for what I believe in.
“My message to whoever did this: “You should be ashamed of yourself, grow up or get out of our area - this is not how we behave in Fylde”.
Lancashire Police were approached for comment.
