The Reform UK leadership at Kent County Council (KCC) is set to cut the number of committees to save ยฃ75,000 a year.
Who needs democracy and well run services, when you have an out of their depth Reform UK administration.
Kemkaran hates scrutiny.
Headline: Trump lambasts โweakโ and โdecayingโ Europe and hints at walking away from Ukraine- US president recycles far-right tropes on European immigration and presses Zelenskyy to accept his peace plan.
This should be a wake up call to Keir Starmer. Trump is not a reliable ally.
Trump wants to weaken Europe and carve up Ukraine while cosying up to Putin. Britain and our allies in Europe must stand together against his threats and bullying.
Doesnโt he mean 2020, where he list?

Taken over now by a chain, Kimpton but a lovely place to stay. We had a private room for a family dinner the day after my son got married, just fab.

We probably are, even if distantly. I have cousins in Ontario but think theyโd be in the wrong age bracket. Itโs just nice to see my name with the e and not the a.

Probably not where we would frequent if weโd lived there in the 60โs/70โs. My parents were glad to leave Glasgow in the 50โs. BTW, McDowell is my maiden name.

Since then, they've won over 650 union elections but Starbucks still hasn't negotiated a fair union contract.
Until then, don't cross the picket line. Show solidarity like Bernie and Zohran.
What? The one where he got in?
