Cllr Dan McDonald

I don’t usually post about faith. But as a gay man, I can’t stay silent about this. As a gay man, I’ve watched the Church debate people like me for years. This decision explains why so many of us walked away.👇 #livinginLove

So proud to do this every year , last day tomorrow 🙏

I know Luke and the team well , this is absolutely disgraceful!

Another poor CQC report for our mental health services. Enough is enough. I’ve demanded urgent accountability from the Trust’s leadership. Medway residents deserve safe, timely, reliable care — and we’ll fight for it.

Good to be out on Gillingham High street this morning at our monthly street surgery. Great conversations and plenty of casework to deal with.

⏰ Less than 24 hours to go! Tomorrow we ride 55 miles from London to Brighton for @BowelCancerUK, in honour of our amazing friend Sara 💙 🚨 Don’t ignore the signs. Don’t bin the test. Check your poo. It could save your life. 👉 justgiving.com/page/teamsara #londontobrighton

Thank you to everyone who stopped by to speak with us at yesterday’s Gillingham high street surgery. Important to listen to your concerns, and pick up important casework issues We also carried out a High Street survey, focused on the lower part of the High Street #Gillingham

The @Lionesses have shown what happens when courage, determination and teamwork come together with heart. They’ve not only brought home a victory — also hope, pride, and inspiration to a new generation. They’ve reminded us that the future of football is fearless and female👏

Today, on Father’s Day, I remember my perfect Irish Dad — a man whose love, kindness, and strength shaped my life. Though he now rests in heaven, his presence is still felt in every memory, in every blessing, and in every quiet moment when I miss him most.

Laid flowers on my mum’s grave today.I still miss her more than words can say. Thinking of everyone feeling that same ache this Mother’s Day. Be gentle with yourselves. My mum may no longer walk beside me, but she walks within me, always.

May your heart be light and your blessings be plenty! Whether Irish by birth or simply Irish at heart , may laughter fill your home, may love guide your path, and may a little bit of Irish luck always be on your side. Sláinte! Wishing you a wonderful and St. Patrick’s Day!

New year, fresh energy, endless possibilities. Let’s make 2025 a year of courage, kindness, and unstoppable progress. Here’s to brighter days ahead—let’s shine! #HappyNewYear

Nothing will stop us smiling; helping families and bringing a little joy to them at this time is the main priority 🙏😊

Deeply saddened by the passing of Lord John Prescott. Had the honour of working with him – a true force of nature, deeply principled, and one of a kind. As he said, ‘I’m a plain man from a plain background, and I think I know the plain people of this country.’Rest in peace 🙏

Attended the annual blessing of graves in Gillingham this afternoon,a special time to pause and remember. It’s always meaningful, keeping the memory of mum and Dad close. The loss of parents is something you never truly get over — you just learn to carry it with you ❤️❤️🙏

Honoured to lay a wreath at the Gillingham War Memorial this morning, paying our respects to the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice. The service at St. Mark’s was a powerful reminder of their enduring legacy. We will remember them. 🕊️ #RemembranceSunday

Busy day today , excellent Councillor surgery on #Gillingham high street and then door-knocking in Rochester 😊 Great to have the Police supporting us too. 👮
