Strong received 1,139 votes, 337 ahead of Labour’s Steve Gladwin. Turnout was 33.36%. See the full result, sources and preserved candidate evidence.
The leadership record, Cityclean inquiry and regional responsibilities—with sources and the questions still open.
READ THE PROFILE →Recorded contracts for Albion Street, Montague Gardens and Southwick voids. What the figures establish, and what remains unanswered.
READ THE EVIDENCE UPDATE →Substantial activity is evidenced. WATCH separates campaigning from independently attributable delivery and records an HSRA wording discrepancy without making a misconduct allegation.
READ THE FINAL REVIEW →Strong parliamentary activity is recognised. Declared donations and hospitality are not treated as wrongdoing; transparency questions remained unanswered at the cut-off.
READ THE FINAL REVIEW →Published staffing costs are contextualised as parliamentary business expenditure. Scrutiny is justified; no evidence of improper expenditure was found.
READ THE FINAL REVIEW →Methodology corrected and locked. The current 35/25/25/15 test prioritises verified constituency delivery and local representation, with parliamentary work and FY2024/25 cost efficiency retained. Helena Dollimore is 3rd/17; Tom Rutland is 12th/17.
SEE THE 17-MP RANKING →New detail on estimated costs, proposed housing-budget transfers and the questions still awaiting records.
READ THE UPDATE →Brighton & Hove case 26340525 records receipt on 3 September and an expected response by 1 October 2026. Records remain awaited.
FOLLOW THE REQUEST →Check the published figures behind three local projects—and the limits of what those figures prove.
The published estimate is supported. It is not the final project bill.
CLAIM, EVIDENCE AND VERDICT →The grant commitment is supported. Receipt, conditions and final spending still need checking.
CLAIM, EVIDENCE AND VERDICT →Records support a programme for 44 homes. They do not establish that all 44 are now occupied.
CLAIM, EVIDENCE AND VERDICT →WATCH scrutinises public office—but we also record worthwhile work when the evidence supports it.
A local environmental issue was taken directly into Commons questioning.
WHY CREDIT IS DUE →Parliament records questions and a supplementary question on the issue.
WHY CREDIT IS DUE →Positive entries must be specific, evidenced and qualified just like critical findings.
VIEW CREDIT DUE →See the people and offices behind decisions across Adur, West Sussex, the Sussex strategic authority and Parliament.
EXPLORE THE MAPS →A transparent ranking based on public money, public impact, decision-making power and accountability gap — not political preference.
VIEW THE TOP 20 →We will follow attendance, challenge, recommendations, call-ins and whether scrutiny actually changes outcomes.
SEE THE METHOD →We track what happened after WATCH asked — including disclosures, clarifications, corrections, action and cases where nothing changed.
SEE THE OUTCOMES →We examine political decisions, spending, promises and accountability.
Requests, documents and records. Facts are separated from allegations.
Meaningful right of reply before substantial adverse findings.
A tip is a lead, not proof.
