Reform accuse Labour of plotting coup at Kent County Council
As reported by The Telegraph, Richard Tice, Reform’s deputy leader, has claimed Labour was trying to “sow a loss of confidence” in KCC so it could impose central control.
“We’re very suspicious they’re going to send in commissioners on a spurious narrative – either over the Christmas period or immediately into the New Year – and take control of the council, saying we’re incompetent and can’t run it.
“We’ve discovered what we think is essentially a coup attempt by Labour. So we are calling out this attempted coup and will be ready to thwart it in the courts immediately.”
A Labour spokesman described the claims as “utter nonsense” and said Reform needed to “start running Kent council competently instead of whining like babies”.

Man slams Asda pharmacy in
- Man slams Asda pharmacy in Brighton Marina over flu jabs
The 68-year-old said he spent hours (hours, I tells ya) trekking (I imagine the chalky South Downs were pretty slippery in places) from his home in Burgess Hill through rainy ?️ and windy ? conditions to the Brighton Marina Asda pharmacy to get his free over 65s flu jab on Thursday morning.
He added: “I lost two and a half hours of my time and then I still didn’t have any injection, in the midst of the pre-Christmas run up as well.
“What if I had been a little old lady who had to take the bus there?”

(The above-mentioned little old lady would have come on the train and then got a bus and taken 45 minutes to cover the 13 miles.)

Plucky motorist Felix here has convinced the Adjudicator that there just weren’t enough signs for ‘Brighton man’ in, er, Brighton to know the bus lane was there. But that wasn’t enough for him – funny though how this is held up as some amazing precedent affecting hundreds of others, but that driver crashes are just individual incidents that can’t be helped (and that go on happening week after week).

Not sure how holding another meeting is going to get you any closer to making ends meet, guys. A lot of bellyaching over an additional £14.40 per year by people who can afford to run a car, and clearly drive it regularly.
