County council to cut committees to save ยฃ75k a year Reform UK at Kent County Council is set to cut the number of committees to save ยฃ75,000 a year.

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.

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.

Yes. King Tutโ€™s absolute Glasgow classic. Anyone whoโ€™s anyone played there.

Oh yes! It still has the RAC plaque outside. It had a massive refurb when we were living in Glasgow, with a nod to its past with lots of red lights. 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.

Propaganda and right wing media. Itโ€™s here in the UK, very dangerous.

All of my dadโ€™s family hail from N. Ireland, looked them up when we were in Ballymena, found the church where my great GF was married. They had the original
registration.

We probably are, even if distantly. I have cousins in Ontario but think theyโ€™d be in the wrong age bracket. Itโ€™s just nice to see my name with the e and not the a.

The Blysthwood hotel, currently the Kimpton. We lived just by the Clydesdale bank so was quite a local for us in the early noughties. Probably not where we would frequent if weโ€™d lived there in the 60โ€™s/70โ€™s. My parents were glad to leave Glasgow in the 50โ€™s. BTW, McDowell is my maiden name.

Today is the four year anniversary of Starbucks Workers United unionizing its first store.

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.
