Reform UK Kent Council have just approved a 3.8% pay rise for councillors above the 3.6% recommended.
Despite the chaos, the lack of DOGE savings, the increased council tax, the lies - @LeaderofKCC and her team think it’s time to give themselves a raise.
That’s Reform UK’s flagship.

Nigel Farage has called Welsh people “Foreign speakers” in a Cameo video.
I hate to break it to you Mr Farage, but if you read a history book you would realise English is more foreign in the UK than Welsh.
He said: “Gutted I couldn’t attend the wedding. I wanted to come, but I heard that half the guests were Welsh, and I don’t know. Who knows what would have happened with all those foreign speakers there. I don’t know.”
This is at a time that his party are trying to convince people in Wales that they should elect them to the Welsh Parliament.
Big credit to the Guardian for breaking this story: theguardian.com/uk-news/ng-int…

@MarkrStyles 3.99% is rounded up on the doc to 4% because the standard format is just to describe it with one decimal point. The actual amount is 3.99% as advertised
English

Don't know where you get your figures from. They're wrong. Maybe do some research?
Lancashire 3.8%
Warwickshire 4.4%
W Northants 4.95%
Nottinghamshire 3.99%
Our figures are right. Your figures are wrong. That's a matter of public record, anyone can Google it.
Apology?
Reform Party UK Exposed 🇬🇧@reformexposed
Reform UK is lying on council tax rises. Here are their totals: • Worcestershire 8.98% • Staffordshire 3.99 • Lincolnshire 2.9% • Lancashire 4.99% • Warwickshire 4.89% • Kent 3.9% • West Northamptonshire 4.96% • North Northamptonshire 4.99% • Nottinghamshire 4.99% • Derbyshire 4.99% • Leicestershire 2.99% • Durham 1.9% Average = 4.54% Never trust Reform UK statistics. Moreover, they criticised councils for raising council tax during the local election, and then they did.

@Mike_M_Klotz Is it an Austin Healy Sprite or Mk1 MG Midget that was rebodied by the Lenham Car Company in Kent ?

@AlisonW67 @MartinSLewis @itvMLshow Yes. Constant proof of my ID is a big problem. Mother’s bank had separate ID processes for everyday banking services and investments. Local council wouldn’t accept online verification of ID for council tax etc etc. Getting PoA is just the start of the process!
English

@MartinSLewis @itvMLshow Don’t agree with your choice of ‘smoothly’. Currently trying to invoke financial POA for my dad’s financial affairs and every financial institution has different requirements and processes to enable us to access his accounts. Made even harder with online/overseas based accounts.
English

Power of Attorney is arguably more important than a Will (I’ll discuss both on @ItvMLshow tomorrow). If you lose your faculties, it lets someone smoothly take over financial and health decisions. Without, even money to pay for your care may be inaccessible.
Got Questions on Wills or PoA for tomorrow's show? Please suggest them by reply (and note which UK nation you are in).

@UKForcesTracker @AWenham1 Didn’t the Type 45 have problems with its power units in warm water?

Unusual harbour movements from HMS Duncan - out of Portsmouth late last night before returning this morning.
We should be deploying a Type 45 and Sky Sabre to defend Cyprus given Iran has fired ballistic missiles into the Eastern Mediterranean.

@DWPgovuk's Permanent Secretary apologised for mistakes over carer's allowance overpayments. 90,000 carers built up debts to DWP, many unknowingly. Debts could have been avoided had DWP previously checked all HMRC alerts on income changes. It now checks all alerts.

@pritipatel You're lying. You did not "say this all along" and nor did Trump. You set the deal in motion and Trump praised it only a few weeks ago,

English
Mark Styles retweetet

@pritipatel Your government negotiated most of the deal. Trump supported it. He's just flailing around looking for something because he knows he's in the wrong. Are you really siding with him?

@canterburycc Is there a problem with your website? Can’t report a missed bin collection. Can’t check bin collection dates. Pages just come up blank.

🔥 PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT ABOUT MOTABILITY, SINCE SOME OF YOU ARE COMMITTED TO BEING LOUD AND WRONG 🔥
The ignorance about Motability could power the national grid.
Some of you are out here spewing BS.
💥 No, disabled people do NOT get “free cars.”
You don’t wake up one morning, sneeze, and materialise a shiny SUV from the government fairy. You exchange your Higher Rate Mobility or Enhanced PIP mobility entitlement - and that payment goes directly to Motability. It’s a lease, not a gift.
💥 No, you cannot just pick a “luxury car.”
You don’t stroll into a dealership and order a BMW for fun. You get a short list of sensible, usually basic models. And if you want anything even remotely bigger, you pay thousands in an upfront “Advance Payment.” From your own pocket.
Disabled people are literally paying extra for the crime of needing space for mobility aids or adaptations.
💥 Insurance? Servicing? Repairs?
Included - because it’s a lease. Not a magical perk. Just a standard part of the deal. And god forbid someone bumps into a Motability car the way some people act, you’d think the disabled driver was committing murder.
💥 Reality check:
Most disabled people only choose Motability because buying and maintaining a car is financially impossible when your disability already bleeds your wallet dry.
This scheme is a lifeline - not a jackpot.
It gives people independence, work access, medical access, the ability to have a damn life.
🧨 So before you start raging about “free cars” and “scroungers,” try this: learn how the system actually works.
Disabled people aren’t living the high life. They’re just trying to exist.
And if that offends you?
🚗💨 Touch grass. Preferably far away from Motability cars.
