We are aware of a video circulating on social media involving a member of Dartford Labour Group. The behaviour displayed in the video is completely unacceptable. The member has now been suspended from the Labour Party. Dartford Labour will be making no further comment.

This is our MP, Gareth Johnson. Along with 256 other MPโs he voted to allow water companies to discharge raw sewerage into our recovering waterways. When questioned on this by constituents he said they were falling for 'leftwing scaremongering.'

Rishi Sunak Sajid Javid have FINALLY seen that Boris Johnson is not fit to hold public office . We would like to see our MP Gareth Johnson reconsider his role in the whips office - where, by doing the Prime Ministers bidding he is complicit in the lies & deceit.

It's odd how Dartford Conservatives including the MP, have lots to say about protesters causing issues on Dartfordโs roads today, but have been. silent for years about the congestion Dartford residents face daily - and the governmentโs inability to act on it.

We are sorry Therese Coffey waited 9 hours to see a Dr. She should ask the health secretary of the party who have been in charge for 12 years to explain why things are this bad. oh.
'I waited nearly nine hours to see a doctor'. Therese Coffey MP says that many people don't have a good experience with the NHS and adds that her first task in her role as Health Sec "puts the needs of patients front and centre". ๐ ๐บ Sky 501 and YouTube

News of the Tory plan to cut the 45p tax rate was missing from the list of mini budget policies in our MP Gareth Johnson's newsletter yesterday. Maybe it slipped his mind. We would appreciate hearing Gareth's views on it and whether he intends to vote in its favour.

At every stage of this crisis Boris Johnson has been too slow. Those delays have cost lives. We believe the high rates of covid in Dartford have caused the NHS to be overwhelmed. We back @Keir_Starmer.calling on the government to introduce national restrictions now.

We are disgusted people over 75 are to lose free TV Licences from June 2020 unless they get Pension Credit. Many people over 75 rely on the television for company. It is mean to deprive elderly people of this just to save ยฃ154.50 per year per household.
