To see what I’m up to locally follow KatieforKent on Facebook / Instagram and sign up to my newsletter on my website. Recently I’ve been everywhere from parish councils to church roofs, vineyards to a lion rescue centre! And I went to a bar so I had to pull a pint, it’s the law

A shop owner in my constituency was ignored by the police when he reported shoplifting. But when he displayed pictures of the thieves, the police showed up - to tell him that those pictures violated GDPR. Madness. A free run for criminals, while normal people get crushed.

Keir Starmer says that one of his "greatest achievements" was scrapping the two-child benefit cap... ...after he kicked seven of his own MPs out of the Labour Party for suggesting it. Only Starmer could count an unaffordable u-turn as one of his greatest achievements

Don’t let the history of the Troubles be rewritten. The IRA were murderous psychopaths, who killed innocent civilians, assassinated police officers and blew up children. The military and the police fought against them bravely. The terrorists lost, and democracy won.

The Government is planning to open a dozen new asylum centres. Where? When? We don’t know. Because rather than announcing it in Parliament, they tried to sneak it out without anyone noticing. People deserve to know if illegal migrants are being dropped into their communities.

The Government plans to let rapists, paedophiles and grooming gang perpetrators out of prison early. But when James Cleverly🇬🇧 asked David Lammy about this horrendous let down for survivors, Lammy just tried to score political points. Absolutely appalling.

I asked the Home Office whether they would deport the ringleader of the Rochdale grooming gang. I got the usual waffle about procedure - and no commitment. Any law that says this man can walk our streets is wrong. The Government can change the law. So why don’t they?

In just 8 years, China pumped out more carbon emissions than Britain has produced in 250 years. Net zero is wrecking our industry, and driving up our energy bills, but it's having zero impact on global climate. It's time to scrap Net Zero for good.

Does the Northern Ireland Secretary really not think that attempting to behead someone in the street is alien to our culture? Why do they insist on not seeing what is plain as day to the rest of us?

When the Home Secretary was asked whether the new "anti-Muslim hostility" guidance would hinder free speech, she wouldn't give a straight answer. But clearly, it will. It'll mean that public servants spend their time avoiding accusations of racism, rather than doing their job.

Yesterday, I asked the Government whether grooming gang perpetrators would serve their full sentences. The minister seemed to say that we should be grateful that these people are serving prison sentences *at all*. What on earth?!

The Government subsidises people to live in some of the most expensive houses in Britain. A 7-bedroom house in central London, for £744 a month! How can that be fair? People who work hard already struggle to pay their own rent, let alone the rents of those who aren't working.

The Government's plan to stop illegal immigration? Just let everybody come here legally. The idea of letting 'community groups' sponsor refugees is insane. It'll mean chain migration from all over the world, all enabled by activist charities.

Shabir Ahmed was the ringleader of the Rochdale grooming gang. He was convicted for 30 counts of child rape. He's being released from prison today. The Government say that, thanks to a legal loophole, he'll avoid deportation - but if they wanted to remove him, they could 👇

The Environment Agency can't find the time to deal with criminals who dump waste into our rivers - but they're perfectly happy to investigate volunteers who clean those rivers. It's the same story, over and over. Rule-breakers go free. People who do the right thing get crushed.

The Government say they're closing asylum hotels - but they're doing it by moving more illegal migrants into our communities. They're bringing down the asylum backlog - by letting everybody stay. They don't want to fix the problem. They're just trying to manage perceptions.

For every young British person hired since 2020, *27* young migrants from outside of Europe have entered the workforce. It's completely mad to have so many people coming from abroad, while young people in Britain struggle to find opportunity. The system is totally broken.

The Prime Minister is so desperate to hide the truth about the rape and grooming gangs that he would rather lie about me than answer a genuine question. It is disgusting.

Should phone shops, vape shops, and corner shops be able to sponsor “highly skilled” visas? Thousands of these businesses across the country are bringing low skilled workers to Britain, on routes intended for people who are highly skilled. It's a total joke.

Is it nice to burn a Quran? No. But it is not, and must never be, a crime. In February I asked the Home Secretary to say that. She refused. Now a man has been charged for it. Islamism is the greatest national security threat we face. It can only be fought by a free society.

Doctors trained overseas are 2.5 times more likely to be referred to the medical regulator for malpractice. It's totally insane that the NHS is prioritising overseas doctors over our most talented medical graduates. It's a terrible deal for doctors and patients alike.
