Kent County Council is getting underway.

Slightly odd arrangements in place where usual press seats have been closed, leaving us in the public gallery, which has 14 seats. Far more than 14 people are here, leading to several journalists and others being left outside of the room.

But we’re in.

You’re not “middle class” if you’re one of the wealthiest one million people in this country. That’s the top <2% of adults.

From North Warwickshire and Bedworth to Ukraine. 1500 miles. 3 ambulances. Desperately needed supplies.

It was an honour to be asked to drive a retired ambulance full of aid across Europe to the Ukrainian border by local business LKQ Euro Car Parts, as part of their enormous fundraising appeal.

Earlier today Farage came on TV to make a *£50 billion* unfunded spending commitment, but BBC write-up completely ignores that and focuses on some deep state nonsense conspiracy theory he was peddling instead.

It's about time someone took Reform to task for what they do, and not just what they say. @bbclaurak.bsky.social

“In your letter you appear not to understand that during these allocation rounds companies sign contracts with the Low Carbon Contracts Company, not the UK Government directly….
Can you confirm if it is Reform UK policy to rip up contract law?”

I think I love Polly Billington.
