I like how Tice blamed "the electoral system in this country" for them not getting any seats despite getting 17% of the vote in the constituencies where they had a candidate. He claims to now be an advocate for "a form of PR" ...... tbf, he did mention the possibility that the Tories might come round to that way of thinking too if they have a prolonged period playing 2nd fiddle to Reform.

i wish jj was my dad Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 I struggle to get you head around the council elections but for dafties like me are the results showing that E&W are rejecting the extremism division and culture wars promoted Dacre, Neil and Tufton Street? Whether Labour are the answer or not it does give me some hope that the appeal ofscreeching, squealing and hating is maybe running its course and society may be able to return to some form of more reasonable discourse.

Cade Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 We're seeing Reform stealing large numbers of tory votes because the only people still voting Tory are the terminally thick and the racists. Reform are all in on that message so they're taking whatever is left of the Tory vote. Everybody normal switched to LibDems or Labour a couple of years ago. The GE is going to be a total wipeout.

Just to try and pin some of this down. Forget the division, anger and froth that Tufton Street has generated and sent their screechbots out of control. And I don't know the answers. What do we know about the performance of the UKG on their missions? Halving inflation: For context what was inflation at the current UKG administration were elected?

Gundermann Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 West Mids close between a Tory who's ashamed of his party and the pro-Israel stance of Labour. Quote Heading back to the ICC in Birmingham, where it's a tense atmosphere as votes for the West Midlands mayoral race are being counted. Labour and the Conservatives both think this contest is on a knife edge. Similar counts are taking place in the other six council areas that make up the West Midlands Combined Authority, adding to the drama as bits of information and rumour flow through to us here. Conservative candidate Andy Street hopes his own personal brand is distinct enough from the national party and that enough people who are fed up with the government have lent him their vote. The Labour campaign are concerned that support for pro-Palestinian independent Ahkmed Yakoob could cost them dearly. We don’t know yet if he’s been supported by disaffected Labour voters or people who wouldn’t have voted at all if he wasn’t standing. There are very nervous faces all round.
