Historical misogyny and a pardon for murderedĀ 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 has made national and international news. I've been on Politics Live, ITN, BBC Politics SE, and CNN (see below).

The Nobel Peace Prize was won by MarĆa 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?

Witches, padel and natureĀ 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 of these women. We agreed (just about as Tony Harwood, Clive English and Stephen Thompson were not happy about the wording) our plans for £500k investment in nature recovery.

Enough! Maidstone is inclusive and must stay thatĀ 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 receiving many emails from concerned residents who feel intimidated by the actions of a few individuals using our flag in this way I have written to Linden Kemkaran asking them to be removed. I have also made sure that she is aware that some of her councillors are quite happy to be photographed with far right protestors.

Misogyny, transphobia and racism in the debate about violence against women andĀ 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 the Reform councillors was to use this as a platform to spread their messages of hate. This is pathetic politics that should have no place in society.

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.

Iām really pleased to see the Pride flag is flying above Maidstone Town Hall for Pride Month. Pride Month commemorates the years of struggle for human rights and the ongoing pursuit of equal justice for the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer community, as well as the accomplishments of LGBTQIA+ individuals. The struggle against discrimination continues and until the LGBTQIA+ community are treated equally and without question I will continue to support the Pride movement.

Maidstone United andĀ Palestine
Football needs to bring people together and we have a lot to be proud of when it comes to football and Maidstone, especially female players. Sadly women were stopped from playing yesterday, but they were still united in one thing - opposing genocide. The appalling stance that Maidstone United stadium managers have taken is in direct contrast to the fans and players in both teams who were comfortable with the support shown for the people of Palestine, people who are being subjected to a genocide right now.

Not a pleasant experience: KCC is now run by a populist party that by their own admission have no policies or programme for Kent other than a refusal to stand with persecuted and oppressed groups.
