YEEEEESSSSS! Our campaign pushed the government to enact the already passed legislation (our team in the Lords also laid the dam amendment earlier this week). Harassing women in public will now be an enforceable crime! Best Christmas present ever!

Try going days without water. Thatβs what people in Tunbridge Wells have had to do. Β Families, care homes and schools are in limbo while South East Water still canβt say when this will be fixed. Thank you Mike Martin for stepping up and holding those responsible to account.

I am aware of the water outage in Tunbridge Wells - indeed I am without water myself. I am onto the CEO of South East Water and will post updates here as I get them. Mike

I attended County Council meeting with a Reform leader who reportedly swears at her members, sacks them instantly, and demands letters of personal loyalty. This is absolutely not how you run an effective, democratic County Council in Kent. β

This lovely sunny weather means the ground is very dry so if youβre planning to enjoy the sunshine in one of the beautiful parks or green spaces we look after in Tunbridge Wells weβd rather you didnβt BBQ there.

Have you heard about the Community Governance Review? Weβre asking if you think a parish or town council should be created for the six areas of Tunbridge Wells without one. Lots more information about the CGR and what it might mean for you on our website https://t.co/V1vmiTGZWz

As a Lib Dem Cllr on KCC, watching this Reform circus is concerning and predictable. Their much-vaunted DOGE cost-cutting drive already in tatters - key figures resigned within days. Vulnerable residents deserve serious governance, not populist stunts. https://t.co/zzUWwztxg1

As a newly elected Lib Dem Cllr, I'm disgusted by Reform UK's dangerous games with Kent County Council. They parachuted in some Musk wannabe promising a 'DOGE effect' on services for thousands of vulnerable people. 5 days later? Gone. A reckless populist stunt.
I have a huge amount of respect for the work that the councils are doing to save tax payer money, and reduce wastage. @ZiaYusufUK got me in and I believe it is appropriate for me to leave with him. I have absolute confidence that the reform DOGE will succeed without me.
