KCC Leader Cllr Kemkaran's response to my misinformation question at our first proper Council meeting (Reform cancelled others) was a joke. Does she condone the head of her DOGE unit lying? Kent deserves answers & accountability, not obfuscation! #KentPolitics

This site has been an eyesore in Southborough for too long damaging the look and feel of the town. I have also requested that the owners keep the site secure, it's time they treated ownership seriously.
Today I wrote to the owners of the βJVIPβ sites in Southborough asking them to get their act together and get the sites cleared and developed.

This week in Kent County Council has been a trainwreck for Reform UK Plc. But it seems that we are not unique as Reform Councils all over the UK are in a mess.

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.

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.
