The weekly podcast, which launched last week, brings together local democracy reporters, Simon Finlay, Robert Boddy, Dan Esson and KM Media Group political editor Paul Francis.

Simon, who covers Kent County Council, will lead the discussions with contributions from Robert, who reports on Medway Council, and Dan, whose speciality is borough and district councils.

Paul will be bringing his weekly Westminster Watch review – highlighting what’s happening in parliament and how it affects the county.

Mr Martin, who will be contesting Tunbridge Wells, spoke about his chances of winning and how to tackle immigration.
