Misogyny, transphobia and racism in the debate about violence against women and girls

It was a horrifying debate. Cllr Hood and I put a straightforward motion to improve KCC's focus on tackling violence against women and girls (VAWG) to full council on 10/07/25 (see below) and the response from…

Banning books in our libraries

I'm sure no one will have missed Reform's attempt to ban certain books from parts of KCC libraries! The narrative pushed by Linden Kemkaren that we shouldn't tell "children they’re in the ‘wrong body’ is wrong" is both inaccurate and designed to create division. The…

Counter-terrorism police have heroically arrested the leader of Hamas UK She is an 83-year-old priest with a walking stick

“In disturbing scenes today, 27 thought criminals defied Yvette Cooper’s decision to ban opinions that Israel dislikes”…

“The terrorists took to Parliament Square, waving signs saying they oppose genocide and support Palestine Action.”

I agree with him!!!

The real crime isn’t stopping genocide…it’s funding it.

We are all Palestine Action.

Oh PLEASE let this happen

(actually - would be far, far better if they just joined the @greenparty.org.uk - THAT would shift UK politics for good)

Go on Starmer.... you know you want to. 😂💜👍

Zack speaks with the level of clarity and precision needed to cut through the Reform dominated media in a way we have not seen before.

Thank you Cllr Stuart Jeffrey!

Israel: stop

Hats off to Greta Thunberg once again. Her principled action, courage and determination to do the right thing never ceases to amaze me. Unbelievably she and the crew of the Madleen were intercepted by Israeli forces as they tried to take food into Gaza. I think the only positive to…

Maidstone United and Palestine

Football needs to bring people together and we have a lot to be proud of when it comes to football and Maidstone, especially female players. Sadly women were stopped from playing yesterday, but they were still united in one thing - opposing genocide. The appalling…

‘Posturing’: Farage’s Reform-quake so far limited to small acts of ‘war on woke’ Reform promised much to voters and now runs £8bn worth of public services. After three weeks, what has party accomplished?

Reform seem to be unable to say what they will change other than the ending support for those in need. Even then they fail.

KCC Full Council 22/5/25

Not a pleasant experience: KCC is now run by a populist party that by their own admission have no policies or programme for Kent other than a refusal to stand with persecuted and oppressed groups. The few specific points that they said they wanted to do are unravelling…

A sticker above a pedestrian beg button by a busy road. It says: "Been waiting long? That's because the council thinks someone in a car a quarter of a mile away is more important than you. They could make the lights change as soon as you press the button if they wanted to, but they don't. Complain to them."

Spies, lies and betrayal: my ruinous relationship with an undercover cop He was the first partner Kate Wilson ever moved in with; they were together for 16 months, and friends for years afterwards. Then she found out he had been spying on her all along

15 years on I still find this sickening - I still don't understand how this is not rape. Many of my friends knew Mark Stone / Kennedy and were horrified when the news broke.
