This is why there are problems at Dover: FT December 2020. You can’t have your cake and eat it #Tories. This was a purely political decision, not practical, and is now coming back to bite you. Unfortunately travellers and residents are suffering once again. Another #owngoal

Downing Street has acknowledged that 'new processes' introduced following Brexit contributed to the problems at Dover at the weekend. Yesterday, the Home Secretary said Brexit was not to blame.

Don’t worry if your A level results are disappointing. I got a C and 2 Us and I’m currently holidaying on this boat.

KCC’s proposed cut to homeless services in Kent is indefensible. The Kent Homeless Connect service is a vital life line for some of the most vulnerable in society. It acts as a prevention service for Adult Social care.

Sue Gray says she is "extremely limited" in what she can say about 12 events in Downing Street but has also made it very clear that when she is in a position to set out the factual details what she will say will be damning.

Starmer - dignified and devastating. May - dignified and devastating. Johnson - disgraceful.

It appears that the PM’s understanding of the Sue Gray report is no better than his understanding of COVID regulations.

Minister in Lords admits that developer levy to fund cladding defects will be used to reimburse Gvt for its existing inadequate £5bn commitment. Not a single additional leaseholder will benefit from it. This is really disgraceful. @EOCS_Official

I’m glad Johnson u-turned, right decision. But the fact he thought he could get away with it in the first place shows the utter contempt he has for the British people.

I’ve lived in a Britain relaxed about its patriotism for 70 years. Now the government wants an Union Jack flown on every public building every day of the year - never done all my life.I deplore this Brexit Tory politicisation of our flag.Above all it could not be more unBritish.
