Two Kent Liberal Democrats have been elected to an important new national body within the Liberal Democrats.

Swale Councillor Hannah Perkin and Kent County Councillor Antony Hook have been elected to the Federal Council.

This is a new body to represent grassroots members and scutinise decisions of the party's governing board.

Building on Lord Palmer challenging Conservative Ministers in the House of Lords over the broken Faversham Swing Bridge, Kent Lib Dem Leader Antony Hook has written to the Minister demanding better than the answer she gave.

He wrote to the Minister:

Dear Baroness De Vere,

I write following Lord Palmer's Oral Question to you in the House of Lords yesterday about Faversham Creek Bridge. I have some difficulty accepting your answer.

Liberal Democrat member of the House of Lords, Monroe Palmer, who lives in Faversham has raised the issue of Faversham Creek Bridge in Parliament.

Lord Palmer has challenged Conservative Ministers over why Faversham's Bridge is still not repaired, leaving local people and businesses without the ability to move boats up and down the Creek because of the broken bridge.

A Conservative Member of Kent County Council has been, it appears, pictured at meetings of a far-right hate group.

Tory Andy Weatherhead was a senior figure inthe far-right New British Union (NBU) according to campaigners at Hope Not Hate who have published this article: https://hopenothate.org.uk/2022/11/15/exposed-tory-county-councillor-was-key-member-of-fascist-group/

The Liberal Democrats have today called on the Folkestone and Hythe Conservatives to suspend their County Councillor Andy Weatherhead following disturbing relevations about his political past.

Local Party Chairman Adam Roweldge has written to his Conservative party counterpart after an article on the respected Hope Not Hate website.
