Reform UK in Kent have now crossed the line from a party of protest to a party of governing. With that comes serious responsibility. They’ll quickly find that fixing deeply complex issues like adult social care and special educational needs takes more than soundbites, slogans, or blame games. After 14 years of Conservative austerity that hollowed out local government, there are no easy efficiencies left to find — only hard choices. The public will be watching to see if they are up to the job. I thank the outgoing KCC leader Roger Gough for the positive, constructive approach on Devolution and Local Government Reorganisation.

Well done us!
