Wouldn't it be nice if they grew up enough to do their dirty washing away from us. It's been 14 years of their drama and damage. We've booted them out so we don't have to listen to, and deal with, the fallout of their toxicity any longer.

Whenever they say they represent ordinary people I hope there is always someone there to say 'not me', so they start to understand they've been gifted more media attention and free passes than they/their policies merit

This couldn't happen to a nicer bunch of people. Feels like karma for all the hoop jumping, rules, restrictions and procedures they've put us through

All nicely timed so Sunak stepped down in the rain and Starmer arrives in sunshine

While it's nice to finally hear a Tory say sorry, Sunak taking responsibility for this loss shows yet again how they are not listening. This was not about timing; this was about lying, incompetence, £ to mates/donors, parties, vicious policies, cruelty and damage. ALL Tories played their part

It's also worth highlighting that two of these do a job-share as co-Leads of their party. I'm not sure we've seen that before in any other UK party so it's a good step forward

Looking forward to analysis on the Tory/Labour/Reform balance.
It looked like in labour hold seats reform did well (ppl felt they could vote reform?), in labour gain seats reform didnt do so well (ppl just desperate to get Tories out?).
Could be a worse problem in 2029

Of course Greens also have record numbers of Councillors which should be considered but won't

The question is how many times more coverage will they get, 5x, 10x, more? And how much less will they turn up to vote and run constituency surgeries?

Have they called Brighton? I can only see 3 seats so far But you are absolutely right, if Green and Reform have the same number the coverage will be wildly different

Farage has mentioned him a number of times. He's definitely aiming for a specific demographic with that

Getting a bit sick of this commentary that Reform have come from nowhere. Theyve come from UKIP and Brexit Party, and migration from the Tory party.
It's just a renaming

We started with that and they just brought Widdecombe on too, now we're heading elsewhere. No way I need to hear either one of them ever again. (Chris seemed to have a really right-wing set of guests - why??)
