There were a few on their way to the voting booth who I've never seen before and they didn't seem the type to vite for Kier

Sounds like family voting to me. Quick tip-off to the Electoral Commission?

And there's no local election near me today but if there was I'd vote Labour and I'd vote Labour in a GE.

So fuck off

No election for me 

But we got a Labour MP at the last election replacing a Tory 

He's very good, goes out supporting local businesses, genuinely supports the local footy team 

All the stuff you want a local MP to do 

On the local Facebook group the staunch Tories just chuck abuse at him. He says come along to a surgery and we can discuss it 

But they never do 

I don't think on my lifetime a Labour or Tory govt has made a difference to my life 

So I'll just vote local

I voted Independent. 

That was my plan but Walkden South didn’t have one.

Who has had a meltdown?

You must have a very low tolerance for meltdowns. Or a piss poor meltdown detector.

 

Quite the contrary young man.

Highly developed along with a keen sense of schadenfreude which will be further honed as the results come out on the drip feed.

The sword of Damocles was already hanging over Mr. Beige U Turn. His 'own' will make sure it falls after the shellacking they are about to receive.

I’m confused. 
it’s local elections, basically who is in charge of collecting the bins and local issues . 

the way Facebook is you’d think it was determining us getting a new parliament, or as some even seem to think a new leader of the country, some even think they are voting for “ Nigel” 
 

I know things can be read into the result as a measure of public feeling but fuck me nothing is going to change in terms of any national set up  on Friday ? 
 

No it won't. Starmer won't be gone for another week or two so you are correct.

Aye get all that, particularly the barometer effect, that’s dead right, but there’s people in frenzies about this one, as if all the foreign folk are getting deported come Friday . 
 

I think it is you getting into a frenzy mate. This one will be about bringing down Starmer and getting an even bigger plantpot in charge.

You are getting way too far ahead of yourself.

is that the 2 who 'won' the leccy bills paid competion who then turned out to the nominators of a reform candidate in the local elections and long standing Nige supporters.

Labour and Tories are bad but neither compare to reform on the coruption scale

'Av it.

Are You sure you’re not already getting plenty of free drugs? 

[gonzo]

Well on a national scale I don't actually think Labour could do much than they're doing with utter shit show they've been left behind.

Reform couldn't run the country. 

There's no fucker else to vote for.

Locally folk make protest votes but where I live will be Tory till the earth implodes. They've allowed houses near me to be built on flood plains and caused major issues. So they can fuck off. I wouldn't trust Reform to run my local council so it leaves Labour or Lib Dems. So it'd be one of those two depending on policy.

Reform win 24 0f 25 seats in Wigan and 18 of 19 seats in Tameside

They don't like the new immigrants in Wigan and Angela Rayner in Tameside

[Spider]

Now reform are in charge of Astley bridge, I look forward to them stopping all the double parking outside the mosque on a Friday. Starting today.

I’d rather have the immigrants than Rayner.

Not many women in the crowd.

It's not all good news. The UPS driver who turned up was brown, I'd have thought he'd have been repatriated to bongo-bongo land by now.

Bolty seems to be very worked up about these local elections doesn’t he?

Weird that, because in the past he’s always said they’re meaningless, and Bolty isn’t the type of man who changes his mind on anything is he? That would be weak.

Weak.

In all seriousness, it does show the current direction of travel, generally, people don't give a fuck about local government elections. In fact, I wouldn't normally know if my local council was Tory, Labour or LibDem, I have no interest (and neither, generally, do other members of the public on a day to day basis) - you watch now though, all these Reform councils will be massively under the spotlight.

They've done well, and it now depends on if they've peaked too soon. Do a good job running the councils, and they'll piss the next GE.

They’ll piss the next GE anyway because they’re just better at social media than all the others.

Thats the battleground now, and they boss it.

Itll be fun watching them squirm in the spotlight of criticism though once the dog shit bins are overflowing. Most of them probably haven’t realised there’ll be actual dull, dreary, boring work to do that they’ll be accountable for.

Looking forward to it. ☺️

Fortunately, reform are a bright bunch, so we’re all in safe hands.
