@BennyDreadful79 I wonder what you find so particularly unfunny about a famous Jewish comedian who calls out antisemitism Flaggy man.

Looking back, with the wisdom I have gained over my 47 years, I have come to realise a very important thing. David Baddiel was carried by, first, Rob Newman, and then subsequently, Frank Skinner. He has never actually been funny.

It’s useful to place Britain’s catastrophic bureaucracy and failure to build into context. China has just opened the world’s tallest bridge. It cut a 2 hour drive down to 2 min, features a theme park, a glass skywalk and a waterfall.  It stands 2000 ft above the river and spans 4600 ft. Built in just 4 years. Meanwhile the government has guided it will take *10 years* to build a 3rd runway at Heathrow.

Outrageous that someone on benefits can receive £25,000 a year - more than what two million people earn on the minimum wage after tax (@thetimes). This isn't just economically unsustainable, it's morally wrong. We should be rewarding work, not dependency

Today, I Chaired my first Combined Authority meeting. I set out my mission to restore public trust by ensuring complete transparency. All of our Greater Lincolnshire CCA meetings will be broadcast and votes by members and councillors all publicly recorded. It is important that you can hold us all to account. The clean sweep of transparency begins now.

@ZiaYusufUK Is that it? Zia - you haven't found anything. This contract award was approved in an open council session, and is on the contract register - a public document. It was approved by elected members following an open procurement process. This is staggeringly low level.

British taxpayers have been taken for mugs and ripped off by politicians and suppliers. Sheffield Council signed a 25 year road maintenance contract worth £2 billion. 25 years. For road maintenance. When NASA awarded Space X a contract to take humans to the moon, it was a 6 year contract. In fact, the average road maintenance contracts dished out by councils are longer than the average space exploration contract awarded by NASA. A reckoning is coming. Reform will fight for taxpayers. 🇬🇧

@ZiaYusufUK Instead of this PR stunt, you could have just read the extensive papers that support the budget, attended the public meeting, read the internal and external auditors reports (which are public) and attended scrutiny - which is public. You are going to 'find' nothing.

The Reform DOGE team arrived at Maidstone County Hall to meet with our brilliant councillors led by Cllr Linden Kemkaran and the Council officers. A very productive day. They will now get to work to audit spending and helping our councillors stand up for taxpayers!

@LeeAndersonMP_ Lee - budget setting is carried out in public. All accounts are published Budgets are scrutinised in public. They are internally and externally audited and reports are public. What do you think you'll 'discover'? Once again, you're creating an imaginary foe.

There is going to be some very worried ex and current councillors right now. Your snouts have been in the trough for far too long. We will make sure tax payers money is spent on services and not on you or your vanity projects.

@ZiaYusufUK All councils already gather, audit, review and scrutinise this information - in public - as part of standard operating. It's the law. I'm not sure what you think you're going to find.
