This report is a confession of failure. Reform are fighting each other while Kent hurtles towards financial oblivion.

We will continue to hold them to account and demand better. 🔶 #Kent #KCC #LibDems

🏫 SCHOOLS DEBT: It gets worse. The deficit on the schools' budget (DSG) has ballooned to a staggering £133.4m.

Reform admits it will now fail to meet the targets set in the 'Safety Valve' agreement with the Government.

💔 SOCIAL CARE CRISIS: Adult Social Care is overspending by £50.9m.

Why? Because they promised £20m in savings they knew they couldn't deliver. They are abandoning our most vulnerable residents to pay the price for this gross mismanagement.

🛑 PANIC MEASURES: Council officers have now ordered an immediate halt to all "non-essential spend." (e.g. preventative work that saves money in the long term)

This policy will grind services to a halt, punishing residents for the Administration's incompetence and political instability.

📉 THE DECLINE: In just three months (Q1 (end June) to Q2 (end Sept) the forecast overspend has gone up by 66% from £27.9m to £46.5m.

The Council's own report admits this scale of failure is "unprecedented" and a "critical risk" to our financial resilience.

I know I could Google but...is Zinsser readily available or just in specialist shops?

It really is. So let down but also worried.

It's not much of an aspiration, is it?

I can't read that on here!

So is the comment in your OP (like to see this in court) moot as they won't prosecute as they know it will fail and have just used this to remove the item sharpish?

Who will fill the gap? I read Ovenden was 'the best brain/instinct in gov' I mean if true....blimey. They seem to have the political instincts of my 3 year old niece.
