Hahahahahahahahah
Incredible. They literally fall at the first hurdle Every. Damn. Time.
The problem with populist Parties like Reform is that, you can say all the right things, but actually doing the right things are two vastly different things.
Snake oil sales people!
Many Reform candidates were told they were really only “paper” ones and had no chance of winning, now the rubber has hit the road they majority of them have no intention of turning up. Farage does something similar in the HoC and I believe he has been reported as a missing person in his constituency.
They really are a total dumpster fire its beyond embarrassing.
‘Nottinghamshire Council’s new [Reform](https://www.independent.co.uk/topic/reform) leader Mick Barton dismissed the criticisms as “political rhetoric from the opposition.”‘
Nope, not just rhetoric if 21 of your councillors have missed their first meetings. This is a job, same as any other, the bare minimum is that you turn up.
Wait until they find out that they are supposed to show their faces at parish council meetings as often as possible also.
Surely there is nothing more Reform than failing to show up for the thing that you have been elected to show up for.
The founder has made it into an art form.
These are the same clowns that many people want to put into power in 2029, if you genuinely want this group of useless melts running the country when they can’t even run a local council then I dunno what’s wrong with you.
Nigel in a couple of months:
Reform…. We never promised we would make things better, just different.
Shit show with added bigotry.
Good, people are getting what they deserve for voting for these clowns
It’s UKIP all over again. They only stood to prove a point. They don’t actually want to do the work.
They obviously take after their lazy leader who is only good at shouting his mouth off
https://descrier.co.uk/politics/brexit-nigel-farage-turned-one-42-eu-fisheries-committee-meetings/amp/
“according to research by Greenpeace “over the three years that Nigel Farage was a member of the European Parliament Fisheries Committee, he attended one out of 42 meetings”.
I expect he was downing a beer instead 🤨
Whenever people elect the far right, whether Reform, UKIP, BNP, NF, Brexit Party, they’re shown to be incompetent and lazy, and rarely elected a second time.
Normally it’s not a problem as they’ve, in the past, been one or two councillors in opposition so unable to do too much damage.
Now, they run several councils and will be found out, sadly with huge damage to the most vulnerable.
Exactly like the the right wing are online. Like to mouth off but have no substance. 😂
Farage, the guy who had the lowest attendance record in the EU parliament for 20 years. Including the fisheries committee, in which he never took a single initiative.
Wonder how this guy could get surrounded by lazy charlatans…
It’s probably a good thing they don’t turn up to work because the only thing they’re able to do is make things go from bad to worse
Hahahaha, no surprise there, most have no experience and no idea what they are doing. Just like their grifter leader who hardly shows up.
They can’t show up to work, it’ll impact their benefits scam /s
The people who voted for Reform got what they voted for.
It was never about leading. It was about destroying what was there.
Race-bait into winning a vote and immediately dip is the farage MO tbf, they’re just leading by example
Not a surprise when their boss no shows to parliament and his constituency. Very on brand.
This is on purpose because deep down these people don’t give a shit about their constituents. In fact, they are probably told to not turn up because the party is controlled by Russian money
Since when did councils need councillors for things to get done?
Is this what the numbskulls who vote for them want for the country SHOULD the grifters win an election?
Watch and learn! Watch and learn.
I am shocked, shocked I tell you…
that a party whose entire platform is borrowing talking points and ideas that got Donald Trump elected for a second term couldn’t organise a piss up in a brewery.
Incredible, the party formed around sir Nigel Von Clacton, has managed to field a bunch of councillors who don’t show up for their job.
You can’t make it up
Good. These frauds need exposing for their inability to govern.
They are lost looking for the blame immigrants button
Imagine trying to bring back facism-lite and privatise the NHS. Then pull a sicky on your first day. The nazis were despicable but they did at least turn up.
I doubt the people voting for Reform are aware of this, and if they were, wouldn’t care less. The fact that Reform won the seat is all they’ll care about, and what happens in the aftermath is complete meh to them.
