The #Reform leader of #KCC Linden Kemkaran told the new council’s first meeting: “The Union Jack, the flag of St George and the flag of Kent, they are the identity that we all share and it is that identity that we need to focus on.”
But with all the sudden focus on flags, it has emerged thaT KCC never had the necessary planning permission to fly flags from more than one flagpole.
Oh no, not Farage upset with the press and people of Scotland for not liking him. Well done Scotland never stop #brexit #tory #tories #toryscum #politics #ukpolitics #bbc #news #EU #nhs #Labour #keirstarmer #Starmer #labourparty #RejoinEU #Gammons #farage #nigelfarage #reform #ReformUK
#Reform UK to pilot Doge-style scheme to examine council spending - https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2025/jun/02/reform-uk-to-pilot-doge-style-scheme-to-examine-council-spending madness: as it becomes clear #doge increases costs and undermines public services, #farage wants to do the same here
And councils always give the gig to the big guys who outbid smaller local contractors by coming in at the lowest prices and consequently deliver a poor service because they pay low wages or subcontract to cowboys.
The Procurement Act is supposed to give SMEs a fighting chance in this process, but somehow I doubt it because the big guys will play the system with their subsidiaries and so the race to the bottom will continue.
Who will benefit from #Reform’s DOGE? Farage - headlines = votes.

I don't think #Reform cares about "astronomical profits of global corporate interests" or even lobby group donations - that's just a side effect
#reform exploits the classic prisoner's dilemma, individuals receive the greatest payoffs if they betray the group rather than cooperate.
#reform doesn't care about future generations - let's have the oil now. Why bother about the #nhs when you are not ill - etc. etc.
it's just a power grab - much more fun when you are in charge. How do you make that happen? - say anything that will please the greedy, rather nasty British voters
It's a betrayal
Lib Dems have accused #Reform of causing ‘paralysis’ at #KCC as the party cancelled multiple scrutiny meetings this month.
Folkestone and Hythe Lib Dems said in a statement that Reform has also yet to confirm which, if any, scrutiny committees will be formed.
The statement said: “For the first three weeks of June, there were FIVE committee meetings timetabled. FOUR have been cancelled.
So Kent is going to be the test bed as to how DOGE will work in the UK
I shall try to report as to what's going on xx

Chat, shud we get rid of double leters?
Zia Yusuf, the #Reform leader, blatantly says on #TrevorPhillips that his party will "bring about 300 to 400 bill £ worth of cuts to public spending"
"The cost of DEI is pernicious ... 5 bil spent on ppl who come into the country illegally. Then there is the cost of Net Zero 45 bill"
TP says Reeves is only putting 7bill into net zero. Where is the other 38bill going?
ZY "It's a whole host of areas like fuel duty and forced electrification of cars"
ZY drinks water throughout, masking his BS
Speaking from a #Welsh perspective... The #Reform party need to be wiped off the face on UK #politics. They may pretend they're you're friend and will give you everything your heart's desired but in truth, their only aim is to fill their own pockets and destroy everything that is sacred to Welsh culture and identity. They will destroy the communities in #Wales. They will destroy our #Senedd and self determination. Their racism and hatred for anyone that is different can never be welcome here.
Time to roll this out again.
Who is Nigel Farage?

IMPACT: Reporting by the Connecticut Mirror and ProPublica found that a Connecticut law allows towed cars to be sold in 15 days, one of the shortest windows in the nation.
Now the Connecticut Senate has passed a bill that will make it easier for drivers to reclaim their vehicles.

Reform’s phony war on #woke
#ReformUK wants to scrap anything with even a hint of ‘woke’ about it. Now that they run 10 councils, they have their opportunity.
There’s just one problem: they keep targeting schemes that just don’t exist – at least not outside the imagination of the /RightWing press.
Here are three times #Reform went to war with non-existent policies …
Meet Reform’s regretters: councillors quitting just weeks into the job
#Reform is seeing unusual number of #councillors #resigning in their first few weeks in office. In each case, it will trigger a council #byelection costing in excess of £20k
Reasons range from dodgy #SocialMedia posts to not being eligible to stand in the 1st place
We look at some of them in more depth. [This article may be updated to reflect further resignations]
