Horrible listening to Tories in today's Transport Committee say they think 20mph roads and road safety measures have went too far and are 'bad for the economy'. Would they rather more dead children? Shameful.

Is it really true that Cllr Becki Bruneau has moved from theTW Alliance to the Conservatives and now to the Heritage Party all on the space of 5years? There is no further right to go, I think, without joining a proscribed organisation!

Just watched “No Other Land”, a documentary that will leave you speechless at the Israeli Government’s knowing brutality on the West Bank. I urge everyone to watch it, in whichever country you live. I won’t be able to sleep tonight I’m so shaken!

So, the LibDems on Tunbridge Wells Council have discovered the joys of ‘whipping’ - possibly the only way of holding them all together! Before they deny it, I’ve had it confirmed from a disgruntled member of their group!

@setrains.bsky.social #setrains going to a charity event in New Cross; late train, missed connection at Orpington, now going to miss much of my mate’s music slot! I’ve made a donation to Prostate Cancer research. Perhaps #setrains can do the same, huh?

Just remembered this as a corporate lesson in acting as soon as you see the issue. The drip of the Reform movement is getting louder! If a drop of water is added to Wembley stadium and doubles in size every minute, the stadium will fill in 46 minutes.

Watching PMQs, I am seriously concerned about Robert Jenrick’s health. Thin, drawn and sallow, he may be doing it deliberately but it doesn’t seem to be good for him.

UK Health Secretary Wes Streeting says the NHS will remain 1. publicly funded. 2. free at the point of delivery. Silent on what is happening in-between. NHS becoming a shell, handing contacts to private sector. 30%-40% of money vanishes in profits. Money buys less. Say NO to NHS privatisation.

YouGov find just 30% of people think we were right to leave the EU. The lowest number yet. Just 10% of 18-24 year olds think it was the right decision.

Auschwitz Memorial gathering today in Tunbridge Wells; 2 mins silence, wreath laying, brief talks. 30 yards away in a coffee shop, sitting in the window, our MP, (chatting to his office manager), who didn’t join us! Wilfully intentioned, lazy or blissfully unaware? V disappointing.

Conservative MP Joy Morrissey says; “Taplow is a beautiful and historic village, it must not be bulldozed over by Labour”. Where would you build then, (not just “not here”)? A village near mainline rail network, near the UK’s biggest city, motorways just north and south; Taplow perhaps?

Am I missing something or does our MP, Mike Martin, only post on military strategy and war? As our local MP I’d like to hear more about what he’s doing for us in Tunbridge Wells! He may be doing lots but it’s not well communicated.

Can someone please explain how any MP could abstain on the Tory amendment to have another public inquiry into child grooming? Either you support another delay of 7 yrs or you don’t! Every single LibDem MP was whipped to abstain. Pathetic!!! Mike Martin MP - “vote LibDem and get a Tory”!

FTSE 100 CEO gets more in less than 3 days than average worker pay for a yr. Median CEO pay £4.22m, 113 times average worker. Nothing to do with performance. Shareholder objections ignored. Need worker-elected directors on boards. Let workers vote on exec pay. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Why doesn’t the UK press simply call Stephen Yaxley-Lennon by his proper name? (1) it would split the name recognition and (2) it would prick his ego! C’mon, just drop the other name; using it gives him credibility!

Truly, if Reform win 120 seats at the next election (as predicted in a new MRP analysis but not before 2029 in all likelihood) Britain will be moving towards Germany in the mid-1930s; sleepwalking to national disaster. Argh!! We need to stop this nonsensical, jingoistic narrative.

I really feel that Chris Philp is floundering, criticising but not offering any constructive alternative - surely the Tories can find someone better to shadow Yvette Cooper.
