GET A GRIP There were good election results for Reform, just as there were for the Lib Dems & Greens, who almost doubled & did double, respectively, their councillors, with the Lib Dems taking control of 3 councils. Why the press isn't hailing the success of the two is a real mysteryโฆ ๐

Queen Natalie Councillors in the UK have no say in the hiring and firing of council workers. If Farage bothered to look at the UK system instead of parroting Trump he would know this.

Ljango Unchained ๐บ๐ฒ Tommy Robinson ๐ฌ๐ง Sounds like exactly what I would have liked to do. We found him, blocked in his car, called police, were told to let him go or we would be arrested. Long story. Youโre partially correct with your last sentence, police, councillors etc have been found to be involved with the gangs



AliWhittel generally irritated Ginny H Ball๐ฌ๐ง There are plenty of Labour MPs voicing dissent, let alone councillors, what are you on about?

jim jarvis will no longer be bothering with X Andy Fitchet Steve A ReformUK Clearly you donโt. Councillors donโt make laws ! Councillors donโt really have a lot of power to do very much.

Gillian McMichael Nigel Farage MP Thatโs all very ambitious. The new Reform councillors will first have to fill all the potholes, deliver statuary services, in adult social services and education. And donโt forget they will have to do all this within weeks.

Mary Regnier-Wilson ๐ถ As an ex local authority finance principal officer when I was much much younger, the section 151 only comes into effect when the councillors hinder or affect the finance department doing their work. If the world is right, reform wonโt do anything so no issue with section 151

ITVPolitics Nigel Farage MP Itโs a punch in the face to Labour . Yes Reform are untested. They have not got to work yet. So letโs see how Reform do as councillors only then should you be looking into the future if so next weeks lottery numbers would be really useful. Only time and actions can we judge.

Tony McDonough Part of this is that the Greens just don't get airtime or attention. They've got a larger share of councillors than Reform do, and they've had an MP in parliament for longer than Reform does, and yet the BBC has fucking Farage on 9 times a week and the Greens once a month.
