Today marks the 180th anniversary of the repeal of the Corn Laws - probably a bigger deal than Brexit. Established Britain’s free trade economic model; weakened the aristocracy and strengthened the industrial bourgeoisie; and forged an approach to food and farming that still dominates today.

Have you found yourself in the position of having a Reform councillor?

Here’s how you can help your brand new councillor settle into local government properly: email them this week with an actual council problem to solve.

Got rubbish piling up? Email them.

Bus vanished from existence? Email them.

Streetlights dead? Email them.

Care package delayed? Email them.

Pavement like the Somme? Email them. 

Send them in by the hundred.  Make sure they’re made very clear on what their job is.  

Being a councillor is not standing in front of the Union flag shouting about dinghies on GB News.  It’s reading committee papers at midnight, attending meetings nobody enjoys, holding surgeries in church halls, and dealing with the endlessly glamorous world of drains, social care budgets and recycling disputes.

Welcome to local government. 

The boats are in Kent. The bins are in your ward.

The email address for your ward councillor can be found on your local council website as soon as it’s updated.

Feel free to copy and paste to share wider.
