Linden Kemkaran, named leader of Kent County Council a week after Reform UK’s sweeping victories in the local elections, appeared to downplay the impact of the largest conflict in Europe since World War 2.

Speaking after she was named as council leader on Thursday evening, she promised to remove the Ukrainian flag from the chamber.

From what I understand Kemkaran was parachuted into Kent from Bradford a couple of months before the election. Locals in Maidstone have been asking for proof that her residence is in Kent. She has a background in media and has an online history that is beginning to get some scrutiny.

From my perspective this is the start of a coup by some well-organised, well-financed right-wingers.
