Ken Bamford (Reform Chief Whip) Lincs County Council is another. Raised this with my Lib Dem Councillor but silence. Are Lincs Lib Dem’s scared of ex-military Ken?

Councillor Kenneth Bamford (Reform) of Lincolnshire County Council makes no declarations at all apart from declaring he is Chief Whip!

Councillor Kenneth Bamford (Reform),Lincolnshire County Council, has made no declaration of ANY interests apparently with impunity! (Appears to own property in Spain and be in employment.)

Exactly the same in UK though some smaller venues do their own ticketing, make no extra charges. Will be a good show with Rhianon Giddens!

His Register of Interests shows the sheer number of properties his companies manage:
lincolnshire.moderngov.co.uk/mgConvert2PD...
This includes HMOs.
Wuestion is - is his motive to serve Boston residents or his property portfolio?
Especially now he’s on their Planning and Regulation Committee.

Yes but others pointed out the Environment Committee would be overloaded. His views are clear.

3 Lincolnshire Reform Councillors (Councillors Bamford, Edgoose-Zagorskiy and Hasan) failed to turn up at this their first meeting. Councillor Bamford (apparently Chief Whip of the Reform Group) has also failed to complete a Register of Interests form.

The Council meeting broadcast via YouTube. Reform voted down a Conservative amendment seeking to preserve the Flooding Committee.
comment in response to
post
A contrast with Lincolnshire County Council where Reform abolishes the Flooding Committee because it assumes increased flooding is produced by global warming rather than a natural cycle. (3 Reform Councillors absent from their first meeting).

Nasty, nasty divisive language and it has backfired on Starmer and co. Hence all the bullshit about Bowling Alone and now Roy Jenkins.
comment in response to
post
Oh come on. This was a speech about immigration. Bowling Alone is NOT about immigration. The dog whistle is island of foreign people.
comment in response to
post
But Robert Putnam (author of Bowling Alone) does NOT attribute this to immigration but to the decline of in person interaction.

Also has refused to do diversity training and has ‘no interest in climate change’. Clearly one of the Mets finest!

Ladeez tell me they prefer the more traditional good looks of dashing knights of the realm such as yourself and Sir Edward Leigh MP (btw are you related: Conservatives who agree completely with Reform?).

This isn’t quite right: Maria Hume is the Councillor who did not know she had been elected to LCC. Natalie Batley is the Administrator of the supporters group.

In Lincolnshire an appeal is pending as to whether Reform’s Dame Jenkyns (now Mayor of Lincolnshire) was eligible to stand. Does she actually live in Lincolnshire or is she an ‘illegal immigrant’ from Yorkshire?

Surely some games of Up Jenkins would be appropriate??
