Captain Chaos Cllr Kemkaran of Kent. Well and truly #REFUK ed
Running KCC was easy as Reform members sat in Spoons, spouting the slogan “take back control over our borders, our money and our laws”
They promised to cut tax, cut waste & improve services
Since they got in KCC is a shit show Council Tax’s going up, services to be cut & £46 million over budget 🤷🏼♂️

Why should we switch 2p of tax from National Insurance to Income Tax? ⤵️
Income Tax raises more money and spreads the burden more fairly. The switch would raise £6 billion, and leave the vast majority of payslips unaffected.
