Thanet revealed as the 9th worst place in the country for children and adolescents with mental health problems, some sent more than 200 miles away. Pleased to add my voice to the chorus of disapproval about this national scandal highlighted by @KeeleyMP ow.ly/TfqH30lFZVT

A no-deal Brexit would be a disaster for Kent, causing a 13-mile lorry park on the M20. bbc.co.uk/news/uk-englan… More evidence – if it was needed – of the Tories' complete mis-management of Brexit. @labourpress @LabourSouthEast
