Thanks for correcting. I'm not going anywhere. Kemi is doing a fantastic job. I'm more convinced than ever that the solutions to the country's problems are Conservative solutions, and the Conservative Party will implement them.

Speaking at an event in Maidstone, ReformUK Cabinet Member Paul Chamberlain said, "I wish we could have found those big savings for Zia, it would have been a better story, but we didn’t." Read the full story here: gbnews.com/money/reform-elon…

🚨 While cutting services & raising council tax, Reform councillors at @Kent_cc just voted to spend £100,000+ a year on party political advisers. Every opposition party voted against it. Kent deserves better. Sign the petition to stop this 👉 bit.ly/45j3dSF #Kent #KCC

And, while I’m on it, @CS_Kent returns a dividend of £10m to @Kent_cc supporting services without a further call on taxpayers. @reformparty_uk should get to understand it.

Shocking if true – but reality is the opposite. Looks like this is not @Kent_cc spending council tax payers’ money but reflects @CS_Kent recruitment business. Opposition Leaders - @favershamfocus, @RichLehmann, Harry Rayner, Alister Brady - ask @Kent_cc to clarify publicly (1/2)
Wow. Kent County Council tendered a contract for recruitment services for £350 million over 4 years. That’s £87.5 million per year of taxpayer money being spent on “advertising vacancies” and “interviewing” people. That’s a staggering 22% of their annual payroll. What a racket

Wishing my friends and followers a Happy Easter ✝️ from Chernihiv, Ukraine. 💙💛 I've had a sobering #GoodFriday as a guest of the Regional State Administration, where I was shown the sickening attacks that Russia has inflicted on educational facilities. Additionally, I was given an introduction to the region's cultural, agricultural, and business sectors and shown the progress that is being made with the region's recovery. Amonst the air alerts, destruction and sickening realities of the illegal war, it was impossible not to be filled with hope on witnessing the continued strength and determination of the people of Chernihiv, especially amongst the young people of the region. This Easter, it is so important to remember the plight of the Ukrainian people and how that through the ultimate sacrifice, good shall always triumph over evil. #SlavaUkraini #Christianity #Easter #Chernihiv #UkraineWar

Our support for Ukraine must continue for as @LordAshcroft writes: 'Ukraine is fighting for its freedom and survival, and the West's, too'
My article in The Mail on Sunday on why the West must not betray Ukraine as the second anniversary of its all-out war with Russia looms @MailOnline

Meanwhile, this #Eurovision night Ukraine is under another Russian missile attack. Reminder that the reason why 🇺🇦 could not host this event is because 🇷🇺 continues to invade and the people of 🇺🇦 live in continuing danger.

We're asking everyone to please avoid having bonfires at this time - since lighting bonfires in hot or windy weather conditions can mean there is an increased risk of the fire spreading quickly and getting out of hand. #KentHeatwave
