I was reading a report about the first meeting of Nottinghamshire county council since Reform took control. The new leader was ask quite a few a questions about how Reform were planning to deal with the main issues facing the council and his reply to most of the questions seems to have been 'you will have to wait and see.' How on earth can a party win council elections without having concrete proposals for tackling key issues?

What was quite interesting was that the reporter kept going on about how Reform were going to be more business like when it came to council meetings. The reporter thought that this was a good thing because in the past too many meetings had been taken up with political point scoring. Presumably by political point scoring he means councillors being held responsible for their actions!

The timeline goes :

NF ==> BNP ==> UKIP ==> Brexit "Party" ==> Reform UK.

They are basically all the same racist cunts. And Farage is the common factor. They may as well call themselves the Cunt Party.

Down the pub stuff from Reform's latest brain box MP.

That is certainly a possibility. He always goes for something that is unamphibious.

"The Defence Industry won't have to pay the cost, the British taxpayer will".

Wow. That was toe-curling.

That's pretty much as far as 'common sense' will ever get you.

What the fuck is she talking about?

Is that Poached Egg or whatever her name is?

People should pay us to go for their contracts because we are the best.

Once again, other people don't have minds.

If that's the level of the politicians coming through, I think they have to work much harder to get Tory defectors. They may not want anybody too high profile, but a few "local character" MPs who will have at least done a bit of local radio will be an improvement.

The last two days have seen them absolutely flood Facebook with very US looking stuff.

Reform are definitely on manoeuvres.

It doesn't take brains the size of a planet to see how this may be a little unwise.

A newly elected Reform UK council has abolished a flooding committee, despite other parties calling for it to be saved.

Lincolnshire County Council's Flood and Water Management Scrutiny Committee was axed by the party which took control of the authority in this month's elections.

The new administration said the change would save money and simplify the council without harming efforts to fight flooding.

Labour group leader councillor Karen Lee described the change as "reckless, foolhardy and wrong"...

What could possibly go wrong?

Copying their pals in the USA.

Reform councils establish a DIRGE committee.

I wonder when Reform councillors will realise that cutting down on committees will impact on the various allowances that they can claim for attending committee meetings?

Climate change is woke while nothing says British pluck like a sandbag and a fortnight on the floor of a church hall. Do please try to keep up.

Lincolnshire, that well-known high-altitude inland county.

Indeed - the county that has red "Escape Route" signs from some coastal areas as far inland as Bourne and towards Stamford: where only last year they were dishing out sandbags to homes and businesses along the River Welland.

Completely normal party.

A former council leader who lost his position when he was suspended from the authority for seven months after being found to have committed multiple breaches of the councillors’ code of conduct is trying to get selected as a Reform UK candidate for the Senedd.

A 'smear' in the Corbyn sense, reporting stuff that he has said and done. At least the Reform councillors provide an opportunity for the Tories not to look like the stupid(est) party.

A new Leicestershire Reform UK councillor has been told to “educate himself” after a post appearing on an account on X in his name claiming “depression isn’t real” resurfaced online. Joseph Boam expressing his views on the illness, including telling people they will “always be depressed” if their “life is depressing”, and that sufferers should “fix it”.
the 22-year-old councillor has branded the allegation “fake news” and a "political smear"
