The Nobel Peace Prize was won by María Corina Machado.

Venezuela's opposition leader.

Her biggest policy, privatising Venezuela's Oil Reserves, the largest in the world, worth nearly $100tn.

Hmm... I wonder why she won?

DON’T MESS WITH MAIDSTONE! One of the nice things we get to do as councillors is meet the team that do the amazing work keeping our roads clean. On Friday a group of us visited the 'depot' to chat to staff. I particularly like the latest campaign an work to stop and prosecute fly tippers "Don't mess with Maidstone". We are using hi-tech surveillance to catch these criminals and we prosecute where we can.

Witches, padel and nature recovery What a bust cabinet meeting last night! Cllr Claire Kehily's motion to honour the murdered 17th century witches received full support (the trial was bigger than the one in Pendle). I will also be writing to the Home Secretary calling for a posthumous exoneration of these women. We agreed (just about as Tony Harwood, Clive English and Stephen Thompson were not happy about the wording) our plans for £500k investment in nature recovery.

Reform council to ‘rescind’ climate emergency declaration Kent council condemned by opposition parties, which say county is ‘at the forefront of climate impacts’

“Kent is at the forefront of climate impacts", said @greenparty.org.uk councillor @stuartjeffery.bsky.social.

"We will suffer most from summer heatwaves, [and] sea level rises will devastate communities, ..yet Reform want to close their eyes to this disaster.”

Mandelson was architect of 2nd State visit for Trump. That visit should not happen. It is sickening to confer special UK honour on Mandelson's fellow Epstein acolyte who is a dangerous autocrat, banning books, militarising police & destroying democratic freedoms.

Enough! Maidstone is inclusive and must stay that way Letter to the Reform Leader of KCC from me. Our Borough is inclusive and welcoming to all who don't spread hate. I am proud to be English and British and I have no problem with our flags UNLESS they are being used to intimidate people. After receiving many emails from concerned residents who feel intimidated by the actions of a few individuals using our flag in this way I have written to Linden Kemkaran asking them to be removed. I have also made sure that she is aware that some of her councillors are quite happy to be photographed with far right protestors.

The Daily Mail resorts to personal attacks because they’re rattled.

Nazi backing rags protecting their super rich owners.

And Keir Starmer’s randomly ranting about me in Parliament.

Best way to respond to this desperation?

An endorsement from Councillor Stuart Jeffery, Leader of Maidstone Borough Council. There is a headshot of Stuart in the top left under a banner which says "Rachel Millward Hope can win #Rach4Deputy". The endorsement text below says "Anyone who watched Rachel destroy the new Reform leader of Kent County Council on BBC Politics can be under no illusion that Rachel is a formidable speaker and debater. Rachel is exactly who we need to get our unique messages across to the widest possible audience and to do it fearlessly." Below is a graphic of a timer which says "2 days left to vote". The entire design has a purple theme.

The legacy of this genocide will last beyond any of our lifetimes. We’ve arrived at this point after decades of the US doing everything in its power to defend and fund the Israeli government’s policies of ethnic cleansing, land theft, and now starvation and genocide. This depravity must end.

Fascism in Maidstone There were two demonstrations in Maidstone today. One organised by the far right ‘Stop the Boats’ which had five KCC Reform councillors in its midst including Maidstone Central’s Oliver Bradshaw. The other, a counter demo, was a ‘Stand up to Racism’ event had six councillors from the Greens and LibDems included Maidstone Central’s other county councillor, Stuart Jeffery (Green) who spoke at it.

There are two county councillors representing Maidstone Central. Today there were two demos in Maidstone. One of us was standing with the far right fascists, the other (me) was with the anti fascist counter demo.

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 the Reform councillors was to use this as a platform to spread their messages of hate. This is pathetic politics that should have no place in society.

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 initial tweet said that she and her cabinet member have got a specific book removed from the children's section despite this book not being in the children's section and not being aimed at children...
