Forget Brexit - this is the politics that really matters!

Forget Brexit, Backstops and Barnier.... in the constituencies it's business as usual:

Above, Cllr Owen Baldock and Chris Baldock undertake the end of year audit of Ann Widdecombe's balls, ensuring that all 1,100 balls are present and correct ahead of the new year.

And at the other side of the room, two more of our regular volunteers, Cllrs Janet Sergison and Vivian Branson, have spent the day folding Christmas Draw tickets stubs. 

The SW1 elite may scoff at such parochial endeavours, but these two activities (the 500 Club and our Christmas Draw) have this year raised almost £30,000 for West Kent funds. Enough to cover the cost of three parliamentary election campaigns!
