I mean the grounds for take over are very very interesting. Us in unitary authorities with crap bus services should be looking with interest - although suspect this is going to be a MCA/future CCA power as opposed to unitaries

Street elevation of Sittingbourne station, the only surviving building from the original East Kent Railway opening of 25 January 1858.

#OnThisDay 168 years ago the East Kent Railway (predecessor of the London, Chatham & Dover Railway) opened between Chatham and Faversham via Rainham, Sittingbourne and Teynham (Gillingham and Newington opened later). Sittingbourne is the oldest surviving LC&DR building (Google).

actually it's called Reform because they're trying to re-form the Conservative party but in the tent next door

This week is Road Safety Week & a chance to talk about Barbara Castle!

Barbara was Transport Minister for three years yet she was able to introduce the Breathalyzer, a proper integrated transport strategy & more!

This was done despite fierce opposition.

In proper parliamentary style I have to declare an interest in this, as I’m a private renter and before moving to Sittingbourne I was a council housing tenant

Improving renters rights has been one of the biggest things for me so far in parliament, as is providing Β£39bn for building social housing

Now which urban area pair should be connected? Portsmouth - Ryde, Southampton - Cowes or Lymington - Freshwater?

Given the context and the crowd, despite Musk’s weasel words, this was a call for violence against the British state, from a foreign national who controls a major propaganda engine, and has engineered it to monetise hate

TBF he voted for the council's climate change action plan to pass through scrutiny on my committee. I suspect he didn't realise what it was.

No one at County Hall seems particularly eager to explain how five Kent Reform councillors came to be smiling for photographs next to a neo-Nazi activist.
