To confirm I was not the farter, and from where I was sitting it sounded like it came from the other side of the chamber.

(however I was one of the speakers referred to who made another important contribution emphasising the importance of this budget)

I mean the grounds for take over are very very interesting. Us in unitary authorities with crap bus services should be looking with interest - although suspect this is going to be a MCA/future CCA power as opposed to unitaries

#OnThisDay 168 years ago the East Kent Railway (predecessor of the London, Chatham & Dover Railway) opened between Chatham and Faversham via Rainham, Sittingbourne and Teynham (Gillingham and Newington opened later). Sittingbourne is the oldest surviving LC&DR building (Google).

actually it's called Reform because they're trying to re-form the Conservative party but in the tent next door

This week is Road Safety Week & a chance to talk about Barbara Castle!

Barbara was Transport Minister for three years yet she was able to introduce the Breathalyzer, a proper integrated transport strategy & more!

This was done despite fierce opposition.

In proper parliamentary style I have to declare an interest in this, as Iโ€™m a private renter and before moving to Sittingbourne I was a council housing tenant

Improving renters rights has been one of the biggest things for me so far in parliament, as is providing ยฃ39bn for building social housing

Now which urban area pair should be connected? Portsmouth - Ryde, Southampton - Cowes or Lymington - Freshwater?

Given the context and the crowd, despite Muskโ€™s weasel words, this was a call for violence against the British state, from a foreign national who controls a major propaganda engine, and has engineered it to monetise hate

TBF he voted for the council's climate change action plan to pass through scrutiny on my committee. I suspect he didn't realise what it was.
