Change?

I think most of the public are horrified that MPs continue to defend the idea they can get drunk at work and then go to vote. Lots of people work hard. It's incredibly out of touch from Labour MPs in particular.

This is happening in the middle of Tel Aviv 👏🏼👏🏼👇🏼💙

Something shocking and out of the ordinary is happening in the UK. While in most comparable countries, healthy life expectancy is rising, here it is plunging steeply. Q. So what marks us out? A. 47 years of extreme neoliberalism, culminating in austerity. www.health.org.uk/reports-and-...

Over 2000 people have been killed in Lebanon by Israel . 1.2 million people are now homeless. The beautiful ancient city of Lebanon, once called 'the Paris of the East", is being bombed to rubble. The majority of Lebanese people have nothing to do with Hezbollah

Alan Stay is Reform UK’s candidate for Parkhurst and Hunnyhill, Isle of Wight. He’s a racist and misogynist. Let’s look at his Facebook posts.

Reform UK loses to Green Party in Kent by-election at ‘flagship’ council

Reform’s “flag ship” council and this was their heartland! Brilliant result and a brilliant campaign! Well done all involved

🚨 First time in British history that a party to the left of Labour have topped a national poll. 💚 Hope is here. It's all of us. ✊🏼 Reject hateful, divisive politics - and let's make hope normal again. Join.greenparty.org.uk

Ed Miliband has sold us all out. The climate movement, the environmental sector - and most importantly - our future generations. No longer can Labour claim to have the odd minister who "gets it." They're bought and paid for.

Dear BBC, very odd to make the sacking of an unknown radio presenter first item on the news. Anything to distract the demos, lest they notice the billionaires picking their pocket and polluting the planet. 👀

Law breaking and democratic deficit at Kent County Council Laws: don't ya just love 'em? 'Specially those laws designed to protect that which is most important in life. People, planet, democracy, etc. Laws such as councils not influencing people during an election, a law known colloquially as…

Happy International Women’s Day! Let’s celebrate our mothers, our daughters, our grandmothers, our aunties, our sisters, cousins, colleagues, friends and even the friends we have not yet made. “Here’s to strong women, may we know them. May we be them. May we raise them”

So Reform whinge about us mentioning Gaza in the Gorton and Denton by election, an issue highly relevant to the electorate and parliament yet are silent when the campaign in local elections to “stop the boats”. Blatant hypocrisy

If the Greens defeat Farage in Gorton and Denton, it'll change politics forever. I think that's worth donating a few quid to, don't you? donatetothe.greenparty.org.uk/parliamentar...

Auschwitz was at the end of a process. We must remember that it did not start from gas chambers. This hatred gradually developed: from ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder. Auschwitz took time.

Psst. Greens are best placed to beat Reform in the Gorton and Denton by-election. Pass it on. www.thelondoneconomic.com/politics/bet...

Sad to learn that I'm one of the only 5% over 70s who vote Green - but so many young people being more green & left gives me hope ... 'YouGov: The Green Party is now by far the most popular party with all voters under 30. And it's catching up fast in other age ranges' meme via Cornwall Green Party

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!

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…

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.
