What budgets have they slashed?Reform are slashing budgets in Kent county council.
All of them.What budgets have they slashed?
Read your own link. They’ve cut nothing yet. They are looking to see where savings can be made. WTF is wrong with that?All of them.
Idiots that voted for them will now be worse off.
Farage has even brought in Aaron Banks, or should I say Oligarch Banks, he is as corrupt as they come.
These people should not be anywhere near power

Reform UK sends first ‘Doge’ team to look at Kent County Council’s £2bn finances
KCC leadership has met with Reform UK’s Elon Musk-style Department of Government Efficiency team ahead of an audit of the authority’s £2bn finances.www.kentonline.co.uk


NDAThe move has also been condemned by the Green Party. Rich Lehmann, the party's leader on Kent County Council, said: "This move, along with the cancellation of key committee meetings, feels like a blatant attempt to subvert the checks and balances which ensure all of the council's activities are transparent and above board.
"The fact that they have software engineers offering to work "for free" is of particular concern, given that the data they are forcefully requesting access to would include significant volumes of commercially sensitive information and the personal data of many of Kent's most vulnerable residents. "This is a reckless move that puts vital council operations and residents at risk."
Sounds to me like a data mining attempt for private companies...Elon Musk did alright during his time at DOGE; finding shortcuts to procure government contracts for his own companies.
Not sure they are (as much as illegal ) I think many people talk about immigration but are referring to illegals. Then labour talk about immigration being reduced they are not talking about the illegals
My friend mentioned just above is definitely very interested in legal immigration. He does, however, live in a bit of a right wing bubble. He was also telling me that the latest figures show that each care worker brings an average of ten dependants with them. Apparently, these are official statistics from the ONS!
So ow many family can a caseworker bring thenAfter a bit of checking, as far as I can tell, his figures are much exaggerated.

to be fair, you normally give balance opinion.. except when it comes to politicsMy Reform voting friend has just been telling me that the reason we need so many immigrants, especially in care work, is that the pay and conditions for low skilled work are so bad. Also, he thought it would be better if they were employed directly by the councils, NHS etc. He believes with substantially better pay and conditions, we could fill these jobs without using immigrants. He wouldn't accept, however, that forty years of privatising, out sourcing and destroying unions had anything to do with it. I'm not making any point, other than we are in a mess and it is all very complicated. We didn't even get on to how much the cost of care would increase.
