    Did they not do this in Derby as well or are proposing to? As well as cutting services and closing care homes?

  2. Reforms DOGE department did a great job. /s

    Of course they won’t own up to it and blame anybody and everybody else, worse people will buy it.

  3. I’m all for Reform bashing, but let’s be honest – most councils are broke. Either taxes need to go up, or services need to be cut. All parties are trying to pretend the voters can have neither, and it’s bullshit.

    An edit as people are interpreting this as a defence or excuse for Reform –

    I’m not excusing it for a second, Reform are corrupt treasonous bastards who can rot in hell.

    I’m more commenting on the situation, we need a major review of council responsibilities and funding because the underlying system is broken. That is the antecedent situation that creates an avenue for these charlatans.

    So the new Tory party led by Farage promised to not cut taxes but has raised taxes this from the bloke that hates the grooming gangs yet he supports Trump who’s the leader of the gangs in EPSTEIN FILES in the is covering up for his rich pals Farage is also in 40 pages

  5. I’m sure it’s the fault of an evil collaboration between the wokies and the deep state.

  6. Reform, labour, tories the lot of them are all wankers. None of them care about the average working person.

  7. I thought “DODGY” was going to save them a packet. So they’re either incompetent or liars, one of the two.

    Well, yea, course, as expected, and predicted, according to type, as sure as apples is apples, as death and taxes, as was written in the stars, carved in stone, written on the wall.

    Inevitable, you might say.
