Time again for our round-up of the week. What we said, what others said and most importantly, a bumper edition of what Rehman did in ‘Rehman about Town.’

Instead of an apology for this abject farce of broken CCTV cameras and his portfolio not knowing he had responsibility we’ve got @MedwayTories doubling down on the model which sees your services cut and slashed. You couldn’t make it up. https://t.co/sv0PZ8IlsK

Ensuring all frontline workers are protected in their roles is a key demand of @unisontweets and @pcs_union . No one should be threatened in workplace and safety should come first. https://t.co/xHICgQ79W7

Appreciate people are numb to numbers with Brexit but this is serious. At no point since 1990s have we seen a trendline of increasing crime in Medway. This matters to victims who are increasing in number daily. #cutshaveconsequences https://t.co/izwMbUD6zq

The @MedwayTories internal divisions made worse with outcome. Medway Tory Constituency chairs + candidates calling for Hard Brexit will continue to undermine colleagues. Medway needs a United team that can deliver for residents on roads, schools, community safety and business.

This Peninsula Ward Tory candidate and former Tory councillor leading with a @MoggMentum vote to undermine @Conservatives leader @theresa_may . Hopelessly divided. Only Labour focused on residents priorities – better services, cuts to crime and reducing homelessness pic.twitter.com/vui6RWHY1Q
