    The Greens now have nearly 200 more councillors than Reform. This is not something you'd be likely to guess from all the copiously salivating media coverage of Farage & his crew of billionaire-backed far-right chancers. [contains quote post or other embedded content]

      Said it before; we're going to get a reform government. Reform are going to keep saying this complex problem has simple solutions out of a mixture of ignorance and genuine malice, and when they win, we'll have our own Trump clownshow. Which we deserve (I mean, not individually, but as a country if we let it happen)

        Kemi was visibly shaking on the BBC this morning, I was worried she was going to collapse in a heap. She filled in her nerves with lots of words but it was clear she doesn’t know the right way to respond. A hard watch.

          Only hard if you have any sort of feelings and/or sympathy for her in the first place.

          She is absolute vermin.

            Another three local council seats for Reform in Essex, but yeah, they're only a passing fad/phase and we should deffo wait for them to just fade away.
            Reform UK gains three seats across two councils in Essex after the by-elections.

              All the more reason to hope for a Tory reboot, there's no left wing leaning save on the way. How long till the next vote or event that will push Kemi out the door?

                LOL. You make it sound like ANYBODY wants the Tories back in power. Have you been sleeping for the last fourteen years??

                How about Starmer and the Labour Government get on with properly changing and improving things like, y'know, they were elected to do in the first place, instead of this 2010s Tory austerity tribute act that they're currently hellbent on doing???

                  I think what he means is we need a return to conservatism currently, whoever can deliver that.

                    How can people genuinely look at what's gone on/going on and seriously think that we're returning to conservatism in any, way, shape or form? If Badenoch gets sh1tcanned, it'll almost certainly be Jenrick replacing her....there is NOTHING traditionally conservative about either of them.

                    It's either Labour get their sh1t together and start delivering more progressive offerings (THAT THEY WERE LITERALLY ELECTED TO DO) or it's Farage as PM in 2029 and extremism/populism and the dire consequences that go with that. Those are literally the choices.

                      It’s not sympathy, it’s empathy: putting yourself in the other person’s shoes. It’s the lack of it that’s got us to this point politically and, the longer it goes on, the closer to the far right it seems we go.

                        Where has her empathy been for minorities racially abused (a lot of it because her and her party have helped to normalise that behaviour)? Where has her empathy been for immigrants and asylum seekers (a stunning lack of it which is extraordinary given that she herself is one)?? Where has her empathy been for the people of Palestine??? Where has her empathy been for LGBTQ+ people???? Where has her empathy been for working people and single mothers who can't afford childcare like she - married to a rich man - can?????

                        You're absolutely having a laugh (to say the least) if you think Kemi Badenoch deserves any "empathy" whatsoever when you actually consider a lot of things she has publicly come out and said.

                        Go actually look at the things she has come out with in recent times. Dog-whistling and culture-warring doesn't even begin to describe it.
