I guess you're right, of course, because it's Reform, the ones that aren't being run well are always highlighted in the press, as a way of attempting to discredit them I agree, local councils would probably be much better, if they weren't run on political grounds - I don't know, or indeed care, who runs my local council, I've never voted in local elections, and we don't even have local elections here this May, for some reason

I agree, nobody gives a fuck about them usually - but the narrative/hype around these is very different - and Reform and Greens will make huge noise about taking over councils As @Traf says, too much success could be to their detriment, if they make a pigs ear of running these councils, as we all know Reform are, at present

Agree with all that - we can all see it coming, but I suspect a real good hiding to be doled out to both the main two.....who shortly may no longer be referred to as the "main two" - which I'm not sure anybody envisaged 5 years or so ago.

As it should be, hence her and that buffoon Anderson were turfed out. They're both a pair of dicks, who were just showboating.

If Trump stood at his podium and said that, many would believe it.

Indeed, he has a 21% share holding in a company called Global Council, and their largest client is WuXi AppTec, to the tune of around £2.5M WuXi paid £1.42M to Global Council just as Mandleson was appointed Ambassador. It may well amount to nothing, but it doesn't look good.....and I'm surprised the US didn't kick up a fuss, as I'm sure they'd have done some "research" on Mandleson as well

I don't think that message is wrong to be honest - we're now entering an era of multi party parliament, like they have in other countries. It'll be interesting to see what (if any) alliances are formed moving forward. No doubt, some seats will go uncontested, so as not to split the votes - and I suspect that Reform will be the target of everybody. Apparently though, Rupert Lowe is attracting quite a few members, from folk who think Reform are going a bit soft, so maybe Restore will be in the mix as well

He's apparently what the world needed, I'm still not sure why, and I'm sure it can be explained, but he's what the world needed I think Cheese often says it, but love of Trump is a pure cult, and it's getting worse. He can fuck kids or kill them in unnecessary wars, his supporters still love him regardless, as long as George Clooney is upset (and I'm never sure why ensuring Clooney is upset is such a good thing either)

Doesn't need to be costed - stuff like this is a vote winner with the Reform m0ngs, obviously when it doesn't happen, it'll be the fault of EU/Labour Party/Conservative Party/ECHR/Civil Service* *delete as applicable

Yes, but he was an eccentric, with scruffy hair and ill fitting suits Not to mention, he was "Churchillian" - I'm not sure if he is more or less Churchillian than Farage though

We need to move on

I thought you were all for "democracy" - she was voted in by her constituency, so surely she should be allowed to stay until they decide otherwise? For what it's worth, she was only showboating, she knew what would happen after Anderson had been turfed out, purely to give her and her shit party even the tiniest bit of publicity.

Correct, you should automatically have your licence taken off you at 75 or 80 years old

Indeed, PMQs is the biggest farce of the lot, had been for years. Waste of time.

Was he not more kicked out for breach of parliamentary conduct, rather than telling the truth?

he does have fine eyebrows

I can never put my finger on it, he just always (to me) seems to be very disingenuous - it's just a personal thing. I've never had to, and never will have to vote for him, so my thoughts on him don't really matter I suppose

Fair enough, there are clearly absolutely no racist undertones within Reform or their support. My mistake. Either way, they'll probably still piss it (probably by just not being either the Labour or Conservative Party)

Sound bites will secure the next GE, not policies. Reform just need to keep banging on about how they hate foreigners, and they'll probably piss it.

I'd rather neither.....but if we're to honour democracy, then I suppose we're likely to be stuck with one of them, the one small blessing, at present, is that massive cunt Burnham wouldn't be in the running

You wait until the next GE, when everyman and his dog is digging up what they can on the grifters at/in Reform - the next GE won't be about manifestos, it'll be about discrediting Farage and his gang of idiots, to try and keep them out (if he's still around by then of course)

I said the other day, rightly or wrongly, this will do for Starmer. A bad night in these upcoming local elections in a couple of weeks, and I suspect the knives will be out, and Raynor and Streeting will be leading the charge to replace him. Who would have thought that Starmer would be taken down by the Epstein files

I think most wanted the Iranian regime gone, hopefully Trump will move onto the regime in Israel next - take both sets of horrible cunts out at the same time. I suspect the point that some think you're missing is just down to interpretation of how things are going. To many, it looks like the US and Israel have gone steaming in, without too much of a plan, and certainly no idea of how to exit the situation. I know you think it's all part of an amazing master plan, and patience is needed (as you said the other day) - but each day that passes, it seems to turn into more of a shitshow. I don't doubt that Trump will lose patience at some point and unleash all manner of hell on Iran and take out their power stations and vital infrastructure. Whilst you'll celebrate that, many will not, and I guess that could constitute a war crime (I don't know if it is, and I really don't care that much either way to be honest) I have no doubt that he wishes he'd not listened to Netanyahu and started this fracas

Not true I give you "our" PPE scandals during COVID.....

That must be close on 90Km/100Km that crossing, I bet that's fun in a dinghy Although, if the people traffickers are changing tactics, it must be working what we're doing in France 😉 As I've said before, they'll never, ever be stopped, until we start making life very difficult for them when they arrive here, and successive Governments have shown there is zero appetite for that.
