Large. Nocturnal. Omnivorous.

Lib Dem councillor for Blean Forest on Canterbury City Council, and for Canterbury North on Kent County Council.
Well said, that man.

Meanwhile they’ve spent £600k on a private car park for the leadership and over £50k so far on political assistants for their group.

Perhaps Mr Fraser Moat should have looked closer to home for lavish politically motivated spending.
Reform councillors in Kent told the FT that they were surprised not to find lavish spending on wokeness from their predecessors

What an astonishing use of taxpayers’ money that picture is.

Very much looking forward to having a chat with the Dover&Deal Lib Dems at their AGM.

We’ll be talking about facing Reform, unitariens and much more.
