To celebrate the fact I joined Twitter 15 years ago, this will be my last Tweet. I am currently inactive on other social media platforms, but I'm pleased to be making the decisive move to being absent from this cesspit.
Do you remember when you joined X? I do! #MyXAnniversary

An incredibly powerful letter sent to Linden Kemkaran @LeaderofKCC of Reform UK on @Kent_cc by VAWG focused organisations.
We agree, how could you vote down such an important motion?

Great to see such a huge turnout for @iamhannahtemple's panel discussion on water pollution in Faversham this evening. Gonna need a bigger room if we do this again.
If this weather carries on I think we're going to have to call it Augtober.

Depressing to see LibDems join Labour in running scared of the wealth taxes on the super rich which we urgently need to invest in our struggling public services. But while others won’t stand up for fairness, @TheGreenParty certainly will theguardian.com/politics/202…

🗣️ "This shows why it is so important to elect a group of Green MPs to hold whoever is in government to account and fight for better protections for both people and planet."

Such an incredible amount of waste.
Sadly at KCC we are stuck with a cabinet member for Environment who is so bought into Tory ideology she voted against our motion to support a ban, even in the face of mountains of evidence on how harmful they are.

A great piece by Jenny Jones... "The government should have put more money into the scrappage scheme to help people running small businesses and the less well-off to upgrade to cleaner vehicles, but send your complaints to No 10 rather than City Hall."

Bath's air quality improves. A shame in Kent we have a council run by those who would prefer to oppose progress rather than try and make it work for all residents.

On 3rd July I wrote to Susan Carey, the KCC Cabinet Member for the Environment to express my concerns about KCC's proposals to close Faversham tip. I included questions in my letter relating to key data which has not been shared. Today (8 weeks later) I received this response.

A useful summary of the life of the man who led the rise of far right in the UK
His history of racism, support for Putin and crookery is not news
What is extraordinary is how BBC assisted his rise and still offer him so much airtime
And how few journalists have challenged him
Across the past 2 years of Tory chaos, it's good to see that one thing has remained strong and stable. The growth in the number of people who have realised that Brexit was a terrible idea, esp. when left in the hands of incompetent liars and hedge fund managers.
