Keep up the good work Darren, you are showing the nation how much they’re being ripped of by their own government, I’ve no doubts at all your going to find a lot more yet, and yesterday shows your getting closer to your targets, they’re definitely getting worried. Good man

SUPERB Darren! It shows Reform means what it says on the tin and what Reform aims to. I receive the Substack from Charlotte Gill with the Kent County Council DOGE reports thus far I presume. It seems to be staggering and it is such a shame I cannot cut and paste here.

Good man Darren. Anything that does not add value to the public should go. All woke insanity such as DEI and net zero cut completely. Even Westminster has put a hold on heat pumps with Ed minibrain the only cabinet member with one. Sweat your assets, most councils own large buildings doing nothing that can be sold or repurposed. Great start keep going, your support here is solid.

Brilliant piece Darren. People can't pay anymore and the Council's must stop unnecessary spending on wasteful projects. Essential Services must come first.

I thought Reform said that they wouldn’t be raising CT at all 🤔

I’m surprised they haven’t reexamined the Council Tax Bands. The majority of homes are still in the bands first put into when the tax was introduced (1993). However if these homes were revalued at today’s prices, they would be placed in a higher band. Fingers crossed I hope they never do.
