Covid conspiracy theory being spread by Cllr Kemkaran I have just discovered that Cllr Kemkaran is spreading doubt and conspiracy theories about Covid-19 vaccinations. This is from the Guardian: "Linden Kemkaran, who runs Kent county council, suggested in September that the party should hold an…

Full Council at Kent 18th Dec The shocking failure of leadership, transparency, and democracy continues apace under Reform at KCC. The refusal to answer my question on savings was frankly pathetic. This was my initial question: "The Council is forecast to be £46.5m overspent this year, with Adult…

Conservatives vote not to reduce council tax for the poorest in Maidstone You couldn't make it up. Cllrs Cannon and Forecast claim they want lower taxes and then they vote against providing 100% council tax reduction for those on the lowest incomes while suggesting that they should get a job.…

Vote of confidence This week I faced a vote of no confidence brought by the Conservatives. Apparently it is the first time this has happened at Maidstone Borough Council. Their motion fell 28 votes to 14. It was a pretty nasty affair. A few of the said that their problem was with me, not the…

Local Government Reorganisation It's been over a year in the making so far but we are about to clear a hurdle in the plans for Local Government Reorganisation (LGR). This was hatched a few weeks after the general election (it wasn't in Labour's manifesto) and next week Kent Council's need to…

Historical misogyny and a pardon for murdered women I never thought that a simple letter that took just minutes to write would put Maidstone on the international map! I wrote the letter below to the Home Secretary calling for a pardon for the women murdered as a result of the Witchcraft Act and it…

More outrage over a ban on Israeli football hooligans than there is over Israel wiping Gaza from the face of the earth. The world turned on its head.

The Nobel Peace Prize was won by María Corina Machado. Venezuela's opposition leader. Her biggest policy, privatising Venezuela's Oil Reserves, the largest in the world, worth nearly $100tn. Hmm... I wonder why she won?

DON’T MESS WITH MAIDSTONE! One of the nice things we get to do as councillors is meet the team that do the amazing work keeping our roads clean. On Friday a group of us visited the 'depot' to chat to staff. I particularly like the latest campaign an work to stop and prosecute fly tippers "Don't…

Witches, padel and nature recovery What a bust cabinet meeting last night! Cllr Claire Kehily's motion to honour the murdered 17th century witches received full support (the trial was bigger than the one in Pendle). I will also be writing to the Home Secretary calling for a posthumous exoneration…

“Kent is at the forefront of climate impacts", said @greenparty.org.uk councillor @stuartjeffery.bsky.social. "We will suffer most from summer heatwaves, [and] sea level rises will devastate communities, ..yet Reform want to close their eyes to this disaster.” www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Mandelson was architect of 2nd State visit for Trump. That visit should not happen. It is sickening to confer special UK honour on Mandelson's fellow Epstein acolyte who is a dangerous autocrat, banning books, militarising police & destroying democratic freedoms.

Enough! Maidstone is inclusive and must stay that way Letter to the Reform Leader of KCC from me. Our Borough is inclusive and welcoming to all who don't spread hate. I am proud to be English and British and I have no problem with our flags UNLESS they are being used to intimidate people. After…

The Daily Mail resorts to personal attacks because they’re rattled. Nazi backing rags protecting their super rich owners. And Keir Starmer’s randomly ranting about me in Parliament. Best way to respond to this desperation? 👉🏼 join.greenparty.org.uk

Refugees are welcome in Islington today and every day.

The legacy of this genocide will last beyond any of our lifetimes. We’ve arrived at this point after decades of the US doing everything in its power to defend and fund the Israeli government’s policies of ethnic cleansing, land theft, and now starvation and genocide. This depravity must end.

As you all know, the green party is having a leadership election. Voting ends on the 30th of this month. If you haven't voted for @zackpolanski.bsky.social yet, here's the link to do so: ballot.greenparty.org.uk If you have voted, don't forget to remind your friends and family to vote. #backzack

Fascism in Maidstone There were two demonstrations in Maidstone today. One organised by the far right ‘Stop the Boats’ which had five KCC Reform councillors in its midst including Maidstone Central’s Oliver Bradshaw. The other, a counter demo, was a ‘Stand up to Racism’ event had six councillors…

There are two county councillors representing Maidstone Central. Today there were two demos in Maidstone. One of us was standing with the far right fascists, the other (me) was with the anti fascist counter demo.

Misogyny, transphobia and racism in the debate about violence against women and girls It was a horrifying debate. Cllr Hood and I put a straightforward motion to improve KCC's focus on tackling violence against women and girls (VAWG) to full council on 10/07/25 (see below) and the response from…

Banning books in our libraries I'm sure no one will have missed Reform's attempt to ban certain books from parts of KCC libraries! The narrative pushed by Linden Kemkaren that we shouldn't tell "children they’re in the ‘wrong body’ is wrong" is both inaccurate and designed to create division. The…

“In disturbing scenes today, 27 thought criminals defied Yvette Cooper’s decision to ban opinions that Israel dislikes”… “The terrorists took to Parliament Square, waving signs saying they oppose genocide and support Palestine Action.” www.normalisland.co.uk/p/counter-te...

Good!!! It’s a wonderful place www.theguardian.com/music/2025/j...

I agree with him!!!

The real crime isn’t stopping genocide…it’s funding it. We are all Palestine Action.

Oh PLEASE let this happen (actually - would be far, far better if they just joined the @greenparty.org.uk - THAT would shift UK politics for good) Go on Starmer.... you know you want to. 😂💜👍

Thank you Cllr Stuart Jeffrey! @stuartjeffery.bsky.social #BackZack

It doesn't end with the illegal immigrants folks, it's actually just the beginning.

Israel: stop Hats off to Greta Thunberg once again. Her principled action, courage and determination to do the right thing never ceases to amaze me. Unbelievably she and the crew of the Madleen were intercepted by Israeli forces as they tried to take food into Gaza. I think the only positive to…

Reform have cancelled over 25% of meeting in June. Maybe they don't know what they are for or do they just not like doing stuff?
