Election Year or Fear!

When we talk about deportations, then they should bear things like this in mind as well. Yep our lovely PM and his two tier standards.

First impressions? I don’t really know what all the fuss is about. No one takes much notice of the football tables in September and it’s equally unwise to make too much of local election results ten months into a five year GE term.
What’s actually happened? A Labour candidate in Cheshire, who’s predecessor was completely discredited by his stupid behaviour, has been very, very narrowly defeated by a former Tory who has moved to Reform. Lincolnshire, solid Tory ground, has elected another opportunist former Tory who has taken up with Reform to become Mayor.
Elsewhere it seems like a good night for Reform, an awful night for the Tories and a bad night for Labour but it wasn’t, imo, entirely unexpected.
Labour have had to do some unpopular things and I don’t necessarily agree with all of them. At the moment they aren’t popular but they do have a huge majority and at least another two years before they need to show real evidence of turning things around in a better direction.
We’ll see if Farage actually has anything to offer the country rather than his own well being. Personally I doubt it, but the thing to watch, again imo, is the changing relationship between the Tories and Reform. ‘New political landscape’? Heard it all before.

Really RA.

It wasn't 5 mins ago, Notts was a mining county, true working class. It was a bloody awful night for Labour and no coincidence that Labour spent all its energy in dissing Reform, rather than the Tories in the run up. They know they are leaking blood in the water, the people regret voting them in and are jumping ship. I suggest you look at the results in Millbands area, hes a dead man walking .

Look at the changes in Notts

You may not want to acknowledge a shift in the landscape, but try looking past your garden wall.
