Nigel Farage's flagship council now a 'horror show' as Musk plan 'backfires' Reform UK is running a 'horror show' at Kent County Council, with an aggressive atmosphere, political point-scoring and no improvements for residents, The Mirror has been told.

#Farage #ReformUK #Kent #CouncilElections #clownshow #UK

'Eileen, 88, said: “Since Reform took over Kent County Council, it’s not been so good. Nothing gets done properly. The roads don't get swept, all things like that.”'

Original post on mastodon.ie

The UK #LabourParty expects to be wiped out in #Lancashire's reinstated #councilElections. My initial instinct is sympathy with local councillors, who are usually made of much better stuff than the national leadership.

But the councils requested the postponement. They are indeed short-staffed […]

Get the feeling this man is really, really shit at this?
One unforced error after another, and yet the Party can't seem to stop him, a bit like the GOP with Trump really...

Reform UK spent well over £100,000 preparing its judicial review of the

Labour ignores everyone else but ReformUK's lawyers (paid for by Labour now, such winners that they are...reminds me of that "NHS now pays 25% more for drugs" victory the government were pushing last year)

For a party which boosts of so many "Very Serious […]

Another climbdown after another assault on Democracy. We can rush through legislation to ban social media for kids (but leave the filth on social media alone) but it takes years and years to rejig local democracy....it's almost like Labour doesn't really know […]

Reform UK accused of betraying election pledges after council tax rises Four out of five councils controlled by party have proposed 5% council tax rises, the maximum permitted by law

Remember how Reform promised cuts in Council Tax if elected at the local elections last year? Well, it seems that none of the councils that they now run can keep to a promise

Vote Reform, get lied to!

Looking for election candidate advice for Wairoa subdivision if there are any others in here. I want to avoid right wing or religious idealogies, and want to vote for someone that supports Maori wards, housing for all, and inclusive ideas.

My principal place of residence is in the Waitäkere Ranges Local Board area.
Tenã koutou katoa. I'm running to be a Waitäkere Ranges Local Board member, and have one request: Don't Vote For Me.
So, why put myself forward for a job I don't
want? Because I told a room of 20 people I was going do it, and when I say I'm going to do something, I do it, even if I don't want to do it.
I'm a busy father, husband and television director, so I don't have time for this. If I won, I'd be spending less time with my cute 5-year-old daughter. If you vote for me, you'll break her heart.
I also don't have the necessary skillset. Apparently it involves lots of reading official documents. The only things I read are Young Adult novels set in post-apocalyptic futures.
So don't vote for me. This isn't reverse psychology. I'm serious.
Don't vote for me. I don't want this job.

Now THIS is proper politician material.😀
Vote for the ones who will grumpily get on with trying to do a good job.😁

Staggered that UK electorate, once again, has swallowed the lies of fascists appealing to their worst instincts. Have they learned nothing from from the Brexit fiasco? It can only get worse. #racism #fascism #equalityOfOpportunity #CouncilElections

One of the (sadly, rather limited) joys of watching the BBC local election coverage is seeing the regional reporters, who you might not usually encounter, sharing their sharp, incisive, and knowledgeable insights from their areas. #LocalElections #LocalReporting #BBC #England #CouncilElections

Question: Where Reform UK Ltd are winning, does this mean councils are now outsourced to said company?
Is Jenkyns now the CEO of Greater Lincolnshire?

It is a company after all and not a political party.

Personally I'm happy that Reform are winning the #councilelections . And the reason for that is, now they will be able to be held to account if they cock it up. I suspect they will find harder to govern than to protest

This set of #councilelections results will give Labour the ideal opportunity for a reset, giving cover to excuse U-turns. And they should. Unfortunately I don't think they're going to take away the right messages here.

The image shows a whippet standing on the pavement outside a polling station (a community centre). One ear is up, and the other is flopped to the side. He has a blue collar and blue lead. He is waiting for his human to come back outside. His human is inside voting.

Simpsons screenshots. Milhouse as Fallout Boy. The director says "we need to do the "stop immigration" and "stop trans people" and Brexit scenes again, local government."

Milhouse replies: (growling) "but we already did it. It took seven years but we did it "

The director replies; "Yes, but we've got to do it from different angles, again and again and again and again."
