Kent Police have admitted they were warned on Friday that a protest could take place in Dover on Saturday - but didn’t fully assess the information.  Hundreds of masked protesters descended on the town and blocked roads for several hours.

Interviewed Ed Davey today on the Lib Dems plans to stop small boats. He argued by joining a returns pact with the EU - the UK would be better off and it would stop small boats. Critics have argued it would make us a rule taker not a rule maker after Brexit and wouldn't work.

One time Reform Mayor of London and Dover and Deal candidate Howard Cox joins Restore Britain as their Transport spokesperson. Howard tells me he is humbled by the support he has received. He was exiled from Reform after previously speaking out in support of Tommy Robinson.

I'm delighted to welcome @HowardCCox to Restore Britain as our Transport Spokesperson - through FairFuelUK, Howard has helped to keep fuel duty frozen for sixteen consecutive years. A proven track record of delivering for motorists. We are building a properly qualified team.
