right<\/a> to lock him out and asking a judge to order them to let him back in.<\/p>\nAmong other complaints, the former Tory says he has concerns for \u201chis personal safety\u201d, as he has been blocked from accessing his personal \u201cpanic room\u201d at work due to being locked out.<\/p>\n
The case reached London\u2019s High Court for an emergency injunction application yesterday afternoon, but after hearing that the association had been given only 90 minutes\u2019 notice, it was adjourned by a judge.<\/p>\n
Mr Rosindell, 60, had served as a Conservative MP since 2001 before he announced his defection to Nigel Farage\u2019s party in January.<\/p>\n
In a statement, he claimed that the \u201cviews and concerns of constituents such as mine in Romford have been consistently ignored for far too long\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur country has endured a generation of managed decline,\u201d he said. \u201cRadical action is now required to reverse the damaging decisions of the past and to forge a new course for Britain.\u201d<\/p>\n

Andrew Rosindell joined Reform UK this year, saying the concerns of his Romford constituents have been \u2018ignored\u2019 for too long (PA)<\/p>\n
In court, Mr Justice Pepperall was told that Mr Rosindell has had exclusive use of an office at Margaret Thatcher House for decades, as well as shared use of other parts of the building, including the campaign room.<\/p>\n
However, after defecting to Reform, he was told by the association that he could not stay, as his status as a Conservative MP was an \u201cimplicit condition\u201d of any right to the office.<\/p>\n
On the night of 18 March, the locks at Margaret Thatcher House were changed and Mr Rosindell was locked out.<\/p>\n
His barrister, Adam Richardson, told the judge that the MP wants \u201cfull and unfettered access, including keys, fobs and security codes\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe respondent has excluded the applicant from the premises by changing the locks and refusing access. No court order has been obtained by the respondent,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe applicant has occupied the premises continuously for over 20 years as his official parliamentary constituency office. That occupation has at all times been open and known to the respondent. The occupation has been governed by successive written agreements described as service agreements, the most recent of which is dated 12 December 2025.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe premises function as a working parliamentary office and contain active constituency casework and sensitive constituent records; parliamentary IT systems and communications equipment; office furniture and infrastructure; parliamentary equipment… and security systems, including controlled access, CCTV and a panic room.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mr Richardson said that, although the association had allowed limited access to Mr Rosindell\u2019s staff to collect his laptop and some other items, he \u201cremains excluded\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe cannot access his constituency office, his active casework, his IT systems or the security arrangements installed for his personal safety,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe exclusion is ongoing and is materially impairing the applicant\u2019s ability to perform his duties as a member of parliament.<\/p>\n
\u201cFurther, the premises contain specialised parliamentary security infrastructure, including controlled access systems, CCTV and a panic room.<\/p>\n
\u201cThese systems were installed for the applicant\u2019s personal safety in his capacity as a member of parliament. The applicant is currently deprived of these essential safety measures.\u201d<\/p>\n

The judge adjourned the injunction application, saying the matter did not require a hearing at short notice (Getty)<\/p>\n
He added: \u201cThe proper course would have been to seek possession through the court. Instead, the respondent has taken the law into its own hands.\u201d<\/p>\n
For the association, barrister Alison Wu said the injunction application should not be heard in circumstances where it had only been given 90 minutes\u2019 notice of the hearing.<\/p>\n
The association claims that it is \u201cimplicit\u201d in the agreement that use of the office depends on him being a Conservative MP.<\/p>\n
Adjourning the application until next week, Mr Justice Pepperall said he could not find that it was so urgent that it needed to be heard at such short notice, particularly given the MP has not yet filed a claim form.<\/p>\n
The judge adjourned the application until after Mr Rosindell\u2019s lawyers have issued a claim against the Romford Conservative Association.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Your support helps us to tell the story From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":494875,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[59,57,58,50,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-494874","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-united-kingdom","tag-gb","tag-great-britain","tag-greatbritain","tag-news","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/494874","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=494874"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/494874\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/494875"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=494874"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=494874"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=494874"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
