I will accept Nigel Farage’s request to be appointed Steward and Bailiff of the Manor of Northstead.
It is a farce and a desperate distraction, and the people of Clacton deserve better.
But if he wants to spend the summer arguing with a bin, I won't stop him.
Farage is running scared.
He hasn’t resigned out of principle.
He’s resigned because he got caught taking millions in undeclared donations and couldn’t face another investigation.
Farage is fighting to protect himself.
He doesn’t give a s**t about ordinary people’s lives.
@CouncillorTudor He’s forgetting that having a by-election will only suspend the investigation but once re-elected the investigation will resume ! Trying to play man of the people will only backfire on him once he is found out
Today, 21 years on from the 7/7 bombings, we remember the 52 people who lost their lives in the attacks, including our colleague Lee Baisden, and all those affected by their loss.
We also thank our staff and our emergency services partners for their efforts on that tragic day.
Kent Council, Reform UK’s flagship council have quietly disbanded and ushered their DOGE out of the back door.
@LeaderOfKCC talked of some kind of revolution.
It was one big lie.
I want the Defence Investment Plan to be a success. And I thank the MOD officials who've worked so hard over many months on it. I welcome the extra funding and focus the Treasury has ceded over the last couple of weeks. (1/6)
#OTD 2007. Tony Blair ends decade as PM in last PMQs - to a standing ovation on both sides of the House
“Some may belittle politics but we know it is where people stand tall. I know it has its many harsh contentions, it is still the arena which sets the heart beating fast”
Praise has been heaped on a van driver who gave an impromptu lift to armed officers chasing a suspect in Thanet.

During the chase on Tuesday 16 June, a passing motorist stopped to help and told a pursuing armed officer to get in the back of his van.
It was 3.30am, just after the Wigan returning officer had read out Andy Burnham’s 9,231 majority, and a close adviser to Burnham texted: “We will need to be ready a lot sooner than we thought.”
So what is the plan? Read it here - great piece from @jessicaelgot
