      It’s almost like they’re a party built on populist sentiment who put morons into these positions who bought into their hype

      For those wanting the TLDR, one of the results reform lost by 8 votes (220 vs 212) and the other about 50 (800 vs 750). On a turnout or 22%.

      Local council by-elections are honestly just an exercise in whose so bored they have nothing better to do.

      This is how you get them, fight them on their record (where it exists)

      Farage crowning political achievement (Brexit) is never talked about because people are scared of “Red Wall” voters.

      At some point you’ve got to try and relitigate the issue and tell those voters they were sold a lie.

      Ah the gilt has come off the racist gingerbread. Who knew that installing swivel eyed loons riding high on racism, bigotry and othering into local government would come crashing down when the actual reality of governing hits. They can’t change the things they want to change however much they claim they can. They can’t even sort out the bins.

      I wonder if the Libdems and Conservatives will now get massive amounts of positive media attention, air-time, column inches and be treated by the press as if they were somehow a government in waiting’ off the back of these Council election wins?

      Obviously I don’t really wonder anything of the sort, of course they will not. Neither would Labour, the Green Party or the SNP. That sort of red carpet/cheerleading treatment from the print and broadcast media is reserved only for occasions where Reform wins something.
