  1. Two former #KCC volunteers say they have been left depressed and defeated after trying to improve issues for the Travelling community.

    Martin Ward and Maria Lee had served as health champions for Kent County Council
    But after nearly a year in the role, the pair resigned on the same day after feeling none of the concerns raised was being listened to or acted on.

    KCC is a Reform-led council

  2. Jenrick is on #Peston he said #Farage never said he promised to reduce council tax

  3. #kcc

    Reform UK had issued a leaflet ahead of May’s local elections last year, which claimed the party would “reduce waste and cut your taxes” – complete with a smiling picture of Nigel Farage. The party went on to secure a hefty majority.

    #Farage was on Sky this morning saying he never promised to reduce council tax.

  4. some background info on the new #KCC #green counciilor for #Cliftonville Rob Yeates:

    "When the Home Office was sending coaches to remove people from the 'migrant hotel' in Margate and sending them to the Bibi Stockholm he mobilised 100+ people to block the coaches, he did that several times, until Home Office eventually gave up"

  5. Sorry if I am going on about #Cliftonville
    but in May at the Locals last year Reform got 40% of the vote. and the Greens got 12%

    This year the #Greens got 39% of the vote

    oh dear

    This means that Reform, which once had 57 out of 81 #KCC seats now have 47!

  6. Another #Reform failure !

    The Conservatives were celebrating this morning after another by-election victory to #Sevenoaks District Council (SDC).

    The Tories secured 44% of the vote to elect Tony Marshall in the Halstead, Knockholt and Badgers Mount (HKBM) ward. Reform UK came in second with just under 30% of the 1,273 votes cast with the Liberal Democrats some way back on 20%.

  9. This Thursday #KCC are going to debate #immigration saying the country is being "invaded"

  10. Former Conservative councillor Marc àRattigan, who defected to #Reform UK in February, named as party’s candidate for Kent County Council by-election in Thanet

    We do not wish him well

    He has pledged to make the regeneration of high streets one of his top priorities, as well as road repairs and supporting parents of children with special educational needs whom he intends to turn back into chimney sweeps.

  13. #Reform UK’s showcase council in #Kent faces “extreme risk” and “instability”, opposition politicians have warned, after it passed its first budget

    The party’s councillors voted it through on Thur night after their leaders announced a 3.99% council tax increase, 1% point under the limit before a referendum is required, despite promising before their election win not to raise tax

    Green party’s Heaver described the budget as “a victory of political posturing over the interests of residents”

  14. Brian Collins, the deputy leader of #KCC, had no government experience before being in post.

    Prior to being appointed, he ran a dog's kennel.

    There are some people who have said Reform's governance of Kent smacks of incompetence, pointing to the first time ever county wide down grade educational Ofstead Report

    Not me, I just think their abilities are best suited in dog's shit and we are just being led along

  15. TODAY

    A Reform UK cabinet member, the dreamboat Matthew Fraser Moat, in charge of purging Kent County Council (#KCC) of waste and inefficiency has resigned after remarks suggesting the authority had “not made any cuts”.

    Yesterday, Mr Farage said £100 million had been saved.

    Someone is not telling the truth.

    I cannot believe it is a man who shoots foxes and wears orange trousers

  16. "Does #Kent have to take all the under-18s that cross the channel and put them up at their own cost - yes, " said Mr #Farage

    in fact ....

    Kent County Council (#KCC) receives extra funding from the central government for housing and caring for under-18 unaccompanied asylum-seeking children (UASCs). This includes specific grants to cover the cost of reception centres and care services, with recent, targeted injections of around £9.8 million to increase capacity.

  17. Farage is on the telly saying #'KCC have saved £100 million pounds

    Let's look at just one little bit

    CLAIM: £5.5m saved after paying off £50m Barclays loan 40 years early, saving £1,820 per day (£664,000 per year) in interest

    Analysts, such as Cllr Kennedy, suggest the funds came from cash collected from taxpayers but not yet allocated to services.

    He said: “These surplus funds are invested in short-term ‘Treasury Loans’ for which KCC receives interest of 4% to 5%

    see the #KCC for more

  18. #Reform run #KCC has had its ENTIRE Children's services downgraded from outstanding to just good on an Ofstead report released today

    This is thoroughly damning judgement.

    Regular followers of me will know I am no friend of the Conservative, but this never ever happened whilst they were in power.

  19. Another #Kcc meeting in Faversham descended into chaos as the debate about immigration was interrupted by Harry the fascist and his unpleasant friends

    Having said that a motion put forward by Reform was voted down

    Details to follow

    Kent against Facists ! ✊️

  20. Kent County Council #KCC says it is set to save £40,000 by removing potted plants from its offices.

    Maintaining the plants is "no longer a priority" and axing a contract for their upkeep would ensure resources were "focused on core services", according to council documents.

    Reform won control of the local authority in May, promising to make savings.

    Deputy leader Collins said: "I thought it was a lot of money to pay for plants and that is why it is being looked at.

    This is my worst post ever

  21. The reduction from a 5% to a 3.9% increase in #KCC's Council Tax has come down to a reduction in service, not as was first thought a large donation of money - that was entirely my mistake.

    My friend, Jessica, has gone through the doc comparing it to projections from last time. She believes, Adult Social Care and SEND budgets are slashed heavily

    Oh dear!

  22. #KCC
    Publish their budget for the next year

    Previously, they had said they were going to charge 5%, today that has changed to 3.9%

    There is a general belief that, behind the scenes, someone had given a large tranche to KCC because their is a need to demonstrate the success of this 'flagship' #Reform Council

  24. Under Pressure To Present Success Stories On Digital India & Financial Inclusion, Many Banks Engaged In Fraud, Malpractice

    This legacy of the Modi 2.0 government, said experts, has provided policy makers unreliable data that whitewashes failures. The first of a two-part series.
