Last Thursday at Medway Council, the Labour administration proposed changes to Full Council meetings which means that the Independent Group will no longer be able to bring a motion forward at every meeting. Instead we MAY get one slot per year. Declining democracy in action.

As resident doctors walk out again, @wesstreeting calls out the 'reprehensible and cartel-like behaviour' of their union.

wow are @MedwayLabour obsessed with Reform UK or just very scared of them??? All of their questions at Thursday's Full Council meeting relate in someway to Reform. Did they really not consider the optics before submitting all these questions? democracy.medway.gov.uk/mgco…

Oh dear Cllr Paterson! This is why Rishi Sunak wanted to make maths compulsory until 18. It would be funny if it wasn’t for the fact you are in charge of the budget.
