For seven years I got the 132 bus to travel to The Howard School. Tonight I’m back on the 132 on my way to the first #MedwayMattersLive where I’ll be sharing my thoughts on the first six months as @medway_council Leader & taking questions from local residents. #ProudToBeMedway

So I presume this suggested legislation will mean adequate funding to allow local government to help all those who are homeless in our communities and isn’t the latest attempt by the Home Secretary to attack vulnerable people and indeed charities helping vulnerable people.

A stark reminder that @medway_council have had a 91% cut in Government Funding since 2010. The pressure on all councils, particularly those with statutory care responsibilities, are real and genuine meaning difficult decisions have to be made to balance the books.

I may disagree with @tracey_crouch on many issues but I respect her for her reported consideration to resign on principle over the government's disgraceful decision to delay changes to #FOBTs for another six months - another six months damage to communities and lives being ruined

For the idiots who damaged NHS and police vehicles after the @England victory yesterday - who on earth did you think that would impress, the nation looks on at you with absolute shame.

The decision of Michael Gove’s department to take £170 million from Medway is deeply disappointing. Any elected representative welcoming such a decision to starve our community of much needed resources and infrastructure needs to take a long hard look at their priorities.
