How nice for him to have
a Council that will help him, now.

This can't have come as a surprise to anyone? Labour were elected on the ticket of the broadest shoulders carrying the load, and smashing the gangs, and no tax rises, and what have they done, targetted the elderly and the disabled, instead of smashing the gangs the numbers of people coming on boats is at an all time high and though they didn't actually raise tax for the 'ordinary working person' they raised employer NI so 'some ordinary working people' actually lost their jobs instead, they say the social care bill has to be addressed but fail to mention that the cost of housing migrants in hotels is also part of the social care budget .... but instead of tackling the numbers and getting them processed so they can either go to work or be deported they decided to angle in on people receiving PIP instead.... good job Keir ...handing running the country to Reform on a plate, who incidentally want an insurance model for the NHS so bear that in mind for future reference

(want an insurance model for the NHS)

Not anymore
Dr. David Bull (Reform UK) was on BBC1HD today
Farage will keep free NHS.

Try to get more up-to-date, if you can.

Well he has changed his tune, why? because that is not a vote winner, I don't trust him

Glenn. 02-05-2025 03:08 PM

Not unexpected. There’s a lot of idiots in this country.

Glenn. 02-05-2025 03:11 PM

Had a mind numbing conversation with the most ignorant racist today. The sad thing every Reform voter is the same.

An actual quote from him “Tommy Robinson is in prison because he spoke out”

No mate, he isn’t.

That's fine
That you do not trust him.


He is gaining many council seats.

Livia 02-05-2025 03:26 PM

It's idiotic to vote against a party that don't give a fcuk about pensioners, farmers, their own citizens etc etc? A party that no longer upholds any traditional Labour Values whatsoever and instead only cares to line their own pockets and abuse their privileges beyond belief. Freebies left right and centre. Foreign holidays galore.. Screw the constituents? Yeah you're having a laugh aren't you?

No party is perfect but Reform are a damned sight more palatable than stinking Labour. I'm overjoyed with the election results. A clear message has been sent. My faith in the public was not misplaced. The majority of people are NOT idiots at all.

Actually Ammi, for me, it's really worrying times.
There's absolutely nothing in Reform for those who are just scraping by, who are in need, and who would have identified themselves as anything other than social democrats or more socialist.

To then swing right over to an even more far right, capitalist orientated lot is absolutely unbelievable.
I was really disillusioned before these results, right now that disillusionment is more like despair.
Are we really now heading to be a Nation where we don't see other human beings from other Countries and cultures as nothing else but expendable totals of numbers.
That's something, (not that I'd want to), which I'll ever understand, support or admire about anyone, whether they be family, friend or foe.

Good luck with your chat with your Brother.

This is the worst day as to politics, I've come across in my life so far.
However I fear it's going to get a whole lot worse.
As to distrust, suspicion and creating more near hate filled prejudiced division.

100% agree.

Thankfully I’ll be elsewhere in a few years should they actually progress further.

The truly unintelligent have a knack of making a lot of racket and unfortunately they’ll just get louder and louder. At the countries expense.

They and he hasn't changed their mind.
It's actually Reform's plan, Farage ironically favoured a French system.
With his friend stuck in the White house, there's no way Farage would not be open to a USA style health service.

However thankfully Trump will be gone before the next election in the UK even needs to be held.
I'll hope, maybe forlornly, the UK then maybe rejects our own version ofTrump in Farage by then.

I think I may join you there Glenn.

I did intend moving to the Republic of Ireland years ago but continued my career here,
(although my late mum did move to the Republic of Ireland).
I even hoped to look to a political career as a long held dream.
That really looks out the window for me now, there's no way I'd want to live in and/or contribute to a more probable racist and full of phobias led governance of the UK.

I’ll be on the other side of the world. Far far away.

595 Reform UK

396 LibDems


The latest Top Two Council Numbers

Glenn. 02-05-2025 05:32 PM

And most of them have zero experience running a council. This should be entertaining :joker:

Daft statement. Nobody does until they've done it first time.

Glenn. 02-05-2025 05:43 PM

Also noticed a pattern with reform voters. Most of them take more from the country than contribute.

Unfortunately have a reform voter in the family. Doesn’t work, has no desire to work. He’s very much on team Farage. The bloke I was speaking to today, again, unemployed.

Seems farage is very good at what his mate Donald is good at. Getting the idiots on side.

You should have realised he was an idiot the moment he spoke to you.

Nigel Farage ranked 748th of 751 MEPs for attendance, went to 1 of 42 fishery committee meetings & was fined £35K for fiddling his expenses. As an MP he has held no surgeries, skipped 80% of votes and had ten jobs on the side.
Don't vote Reform unless you like work-shy grifters

See? Work shy grifters attract work shy grifters.

Racists, thickos who want to blame everybody else, especially foreigners and brown people, for their own failings and agitators who just want to cause trouble and be different rather than actually solve problems, that’s the reform base
