Rupert Barnes: Let’s do more to celebrate our historic counties

Remember where we are; remember what has come down to us. Our unique heritage is there to be opened up.

By Rupert Barnes | 10 February 2019 | 86 comments

Charlie Elphicke: The Cabinet must decide today to trigger no deal preparations in full

This is what we have been doing at the Dover front line – working hard on preparations for disruption. We are making sure that we stand ready.

By Charlie Elphicke | 12 December 2018 | 55 comments

Kent County Council’s proposals to keep the traffic flowing after Brexit are welcome

By Harry Phibbs | 11 December 2018 | 8 comments

Tom Tugendhat: Brexit can only work if we invest in it – streamlining ports, upgrading customs, readying systems, working with neighbours

By Tom Tugendhat | 7 December 2018 | 120 comments

Matthew Scott: Ignore the outdated, inaccurate criticisms – we Police and Crime Commissioners are making a positive difference

Iain Dale: As I prepared for my Question Time debut, I heard that Diane Abbott had pulled out. Was it something I said?

Matthew Scott: Body-worn cameras are proving to be a useful policing tool

We should also be aware of any risks to privacy or individual freedom, but in Kent the technology is working well.

By Matthew Scott | 8 November 2017 | 4 comments

Matthew Scott: The police are plugging a gap in mental healthcare provision – but we can’t do so forever

There will always be an element of policing that involves helping those in distress or crisis. But our officers are no substitute for proper NHS services.

Maybe it was ever thus, at least in modern times, but Tory-held suburban seats outside the South-East are under-represented at the top table.

By Paul Goodman | 17 July 2017 | 85 comments

Paul Carter: Why I am standing to be Conservative Group Leader of the Local Government Association

Heath and Social Care integration is in everyone’s interests and we need to work hard to make it a reality.

When it comes to fiscal prudency it is important to set a good example.

By Paul Cooper | 26 May 2017 | 11 comments

Last time UKIP denied the Conservatives outright victories in Norfolk, Cambridgeshire, East Sussex. Lincolnshire, Oxfordshire and Warwickshire.
