Former Conservative councillor Marc àRattigan, who defected to #Reform UK in February, named as party’s candidate for Kent County Council by-election in Thanet

We do not wish him well

He has pledged to make the regeneration of high streets one of his top priorities, as well as road repairs and supporting parents of children with special educational needs whom he intends to turn back into chimney sweeps.

Crossed paths with him in too many local fb groups. Nasty man.

@JaxVent all nasty quotes would be welcomed as #kaf would pass them on xx
@Geri I've left Facebook so can't retrieve or I would happily pass them on!

@Geri "regeneration of high streets"

Dinosaur industry, which was on the way out before covid accelerated the process.

@TimWardCam @Geri
I'm guessing he means free car parking, remove crosswalks & bike lanes, etc.
@Gurre @Geri Ah, right, wants to hasten the demise of the high street.
@TimWardCam @Geri
Yes and no. We certainly don’t need a return to the temples to consumerism we used to have in city centres, but more social spaces, a place for communities to develop, people to enjoy leisure, or to learn new skills… yes please!
@Geri Everything they say is a lie
