Zohran's campaign was his determination to make New York a city everyone can afford to live in. Huge congratulations!

His success will resonate throughout the world. A story where no one is left behind.

It's time to write that story across England & Wales too.

Statement by Faversham Town Council's
Community Committee


Faversham is a warm and welcoming town
which, throughout its long history, has always
proudly opened its arms to those who seek
refuge. We as a town are rightly proud of our
embodiment of fundamental principles of
British values such as democracy, the rule of
law, individual liberty, and tolerance for the
beliefs of others. However, over recent weeks
it has been noted that tensions within our
community have arisen linked to


unauthorised placement of flags on public
lampposts and abusive behaviour when
questioned. This has led to many residents
reporting feeling afraid and intimidated, and
shamefully others have reported they have
experienced racist abuse within the past few
weeks. Faversham Town Council strongly
condemns any acts of racism, intimidation
and bullying for any reason.

We recognise that many residents display the
St George cross and other national symbols
as a positive expression of pride, and this is
entirely welcome on private property or
where permission has been sought.


Faversham Town Council's own flag policy
dictates that the flags of our nation are flown
regularly from our public buildings. However,
we also recognise that these same symbols
of national pride can also be used to
intimidate and cause division, and we call
upon KCC, Kent Police and Swale Borough
Council to work with us and the wider
community to restore community harmony
and a sense of street safety, mutual respect,
and the shared pride we all have in our town
and wider nation,

Measured, sensible, and much welcomed statement from Faversham Town Council on the idiocy of the moronic flag pandemic.

Cutting the welfare state makes us poorer.

Poorer people are more easily manipulated to believe it is migrants who have taken scarce resources.

The Prime Minister should show British leadership on Ukraine by inviting President Zelenskyy to address Parliament on Monday.

I'm proud that the UK has been Ukraine's staunchest ally from the start. We mustn't falter in the face of Trump's bullying now.

And to think we could have had a sane, serious government run by an intelligent person who would have acted in the best interests of Americans, and not Vladimir Putin.

IT IS A COUP This is what should be on every front page in 150 point banner headlines. All I have is this Substack but I lay it beneath your feet and pray to a higher power that I'm wrong.

This is what should be on every front page right now. What's happening in the US right now is an illegal power grab by a private citizen. IT'S A COUP.

It's a digital coup. It's Musk who's leading it. The consequences are terrifying. And it's coming for us next.
