Elect a #Reform councillor and there is a good chance that they won't be in 6 months time. Important analysis here and the chaos in #Kent is a big contributor to these numbers.

If the Tories are polling 7.6% in *Tunbridge Wells* then surely they must be in their death spiral.

If racism has no place in his party, then Nigel Farage should prove it by withdrawing the whip from Sarah Pochin immediately.

A majority of voters, and a plurality of white voters, think that Reform is a racist party with racist policies.

Reform's total botch job within Kent County Council increasingly reminds me of the episode of The Simpsons where Homer becomes mayor of "New Springfield."

Whilst it is nice to be the official opposition, we do *not* want Reform in government. We have already seen their utter shambles in #Kent. They would wreck the UK if given a chance.

Reform expels three more councillors for โ€˜dishonest and deceptiveโ€™ behaviour Reform UK has expelled another three county councillors from the party this afternoon after a meeting called by its KCC leader.

Itโ€™s hard to believe but Reform has expelled another *three* councillors from their #Kent County Council groupโ€ฆ.for dishonesty and deceptive behaviour.

Totally unfit to lead a major authority.

Reform are incapable of running #Kent County Council. Leader Kemkaran has lost all credibility. Our Richard Streatfeild hits the nail on the head in this article.

I meanโ€ฆwe are always happy to help but if you are admitting that you lied to the electorate to get elected, shouldnโ€™t you just resign?

An Ed Davey quote which reads: 
I know Labour MPs are relieved that they are finally allowed to say the Conservativesโ€™ Brexit deal is a disaster.

But that canโ€™t just be a political ruse to attack Nigel Farage โ€“ however much he deserves it.

Or even worse โ€“ given we still have the highest inflation in the G7 โ€“ it mustnโ€™t be a smokescreen to raise taxes on ordinary people.

It must be a call to action.
โ€จWe must negotiate a new UK-EU customs union.

If Labour agree that the Tories' botched Brexit deal is hurting our country, they should stop complaining and start fixing it.

Starting with a new UK-EU customs union.
