Really should include Lowe's outfit to see how much is going to them.

In a real GE it will be interesting to see if they can compete in every constituency. Reform were far larger in 2024 and only had "paper" candidates in many seats.

is that the kid on work experience? The one that got rinsed by the Warwickshire Chief Constable for being (or thinking) he was clever by publicising letters (appreciate the CC is retiring and thought it would be amusing to go public too without consequence)

OK, in isolation it's got to be of interest in a Reform thread! In context there are reports of three Labour councils which are very familiar with the same situation. In Trafford MBC the Conservative group has filed a no-confidence motion against the Labour leader, Tom Ross, citing concerns over the council's financial strategy, and last month another Labour leader Yvonne Gagen faced a no confidence vote in West Lancashire Borough Council...the latter appears to have been abandoned or unsuccessful. Further back but not long, Cllr Chris Watkins (Labour) was removed as Leader of Nuneaton and Bedworth Borough Council in January after a vote of no confidence was lost. Three red squirrels wink a rare sight with all the grey in politics.

That's right, Greens and Lib Dems voting against him. The Tories hold the balance of power, so ultimately it will be their decision whether or not to back him. If they abstain, he will lose.

You have to be a special kind of person to really start pissing off the Lib Dems. Lovers not fighters

Tbf I don’t mind the highlighting of both the Reform YTS kid under review and TB highlighting similar situations in other councils. Both sets of information are relevant and vaguely important.
I say vaguely because hands up who think much else will be different or change post the votes in all those councils and if new leaders are elected? First to put their hands up get the free biccies…

Certainly Turbobloke pointed out Labour's massive failings, albeit by way of a 'But Labour!' defence in this stinky little nugget just upthread.

Which was egregious even by his barrel scraping standards.

I don't think you understand how this works.

This thread is about Reform.

The labour thread is over there >>>>>>>

This is the place where we can point out lies and BS and gaslighting from Farage and his pathetic bunch of failed Tories. Over there>>>> is where people can point out Labours failings.

What a charming fellow(?) you are. So is this how the left win hearts and minds? Or just how they react when the argument is lost.
