As I said in the Previews last week, Kent RUK have a long way to go yet to match the disintegration of the ruling UKIP group on Thanet council in 2015-18.
It looks like Reform has lost *another* councillor at Kent County Council.
Isabella Kemp now sits as an Independent, according to the council website.
Means that Kent has lost ***16%*** of its Reform councillors since May👀

The Queen Elizabeth Hall in Oldham, where Steve Davis made the first televised maximum break, is due for demolition soon. I understand the final event there will be the town's Festival of Remembrance on Friday night at 7pm, with my band doing the music. See you there!

There's a recent trend for UK Election Court cases from this school of craziness. If the Election Court wasn't so fantastically expensive there would probably be more.
Dutch anti-Muslim populist Geert Wilders goes full Trump, claiming on X after he lost the election that there are reports of vote fraud. Also claimed the election authority was not neutral. Tearing down the pillars of Dutch democracy. nos.nl/l/2588722
Gemeenten wijzen aantijgingen Wilders over stemgesjoemel van de hand
Wilders stelt op sociale media dat het "berichten regent" van verdwenen of ongeldig verklaarde stemmen. Experts noemen het trumpiaans.

The last survivor of the Crimean War died in 2004.
"Timothy" spent 40 years in the Navy. After retirement, having moved in with the Earl of Devon, she revealed she was a girl.
She would wander round his garden wearing a sign that said. "My name is Timothy. I am very old. Pease do not pick me up".

No, the Plantagenets would have plonked some siege engines outside his castle for the duration.
This is how the Plantagenets would have briefed. Vicious.
