It won’t be long before we find out he has beaten his girlfriend / been influenced by Russia / linked to a far right group et cetera. Just like the other members of his “Business”

“we saw how farage did nothing for his community and thought yes.”
Seriously. The amount of people who are mono-issue immigration, but also don’t know much about immigration, is insane.

They won 414 votes out of around 767 votes. Council by-elections have insanely low turnouts.
KeyLog256 on
People saying “it’s just a council vote” or “there was low turnout” or “it’s Norfolk” need to be careful.
It’s just over three years until the next GE and there’s no doubt Reform are gaining momentum. Simply dismissing everything they do is not helping matters.
Remember how confident everyone was about Trump not being reelected, or even elected the first time around.

We all thought Brexit wouldn’t happen, and it did. Best not to ignore these small wins for Reform. I don’t want any surprises in the next GE.

The problem is the torys and labour aren’t much different and people are sick of voting for 2 party’s, the greens and lib dems need to up their game
RedofPaw on
Cool, cool. Maybe they’ll stop immigrants… collecting the bins or…. ban foreign potholes or something.
Actually I’m sure that’s deeply unfair. What are their actual practical policies for local councils?

The best way to beat the Tories is to vote in Tories with aquamarine ties. The genius of this country never ceases to amaze me.

Norfolk kept voting for Liz Truss, so they have questionable taste.

**This couldn’t *possibly* be anything to do with:**
– Mass-immigration of people from incompatible cultures vastly changing British society at a rapid pace.
– Many of these people forming self-enforced ghettoised parallel societies and continually attempting to enforce religious ideology, cultural ‘norms’, blasphemy laws, and customs that aren’t followed by the majority of the UK population.
– Simultaneously, *the same people* expect to be able to express violent hatred towards other marginalised groups in British society, but scream about victimisation when they are called out on it.
– People from these groups conducting (and supporting) repeated deadly terror attacks, blowing children to bits etc. over such ‘terrible’ things as, *checks notes*; drawing cartoons, not believing in their moon god, or burning a ‘special’ book.
– People from these groups holding repeated public protests often about issues that have *very little*, if anything to do with British people or *current* British foreign policy, with these protests breaking the law, and often descending into outright hate, vandalism and violence. I.e. publicly celebrating and cheering on the rape, torture and execution of unarmed Israeli civilians on UK streets the day after the October 7th attacks etc.
– Industrial scale child sex abuse (covered up by their communities and the local authorities for fear of upsetting minority relations).
***Nor does it have *anything* to do with:***
– The fact that the British public have *continually* voted to reduce net immigration and asylum abuse, yet instead they’ve received non-stop pandering towards an alien politico-relogious ideology that clashes with most of their cultural values.
***As well as;***
– A ‘zero-tolerance’ policing and justice approach to any dissent over this in order to preserve ‘community relations’.
– *Record* increases in annual net migration, to the point that *even* county towns are experiencing the sociocultural issues of mass immigration that were formerly consigned only to large inner-cities.
**No.**
It’s *very clearly* the fault of Russian bots and irrational racist Islamophobic bigots…

It was a seat that always went to the Tories so I’m not going to lose sleep over the infighting of the right. In fact, I’ll sleep better thinking about it.

Why does he still have a go fund me still open, where he was raising money for his election bid last year?
Also, why is a news article being made about Reform winning a single seat on a council?
oldrichie on
17,000 councilors in the uk, this is like the 78th?, 79th? One for reform.
Wondering why this is even reported. It is meaninless, just like reform.
modsarescourge-3468 on
Uniparty ignoring working class people time and time and time again – of course they are going to win – just make a political bet now so even if you don’t like them you can win something.

You have to be a particular kind of stupid racist idiot to vote for Nigel Farage.

Reform is for mob rule, just like their financial backers.
Seeing a lot of the same mentality among certain demographics for the last 20 years or ao
Seething-Angry on
With the new shake-up to LA’s, so districts and boroughs merging and County councils restructures being implemented at present. I wonder how many will still be councillors in 2 years time anyway.
DeusPrime on
People writing this off really dont see the shit show we are in for in a few years. Unless the major parties start massively focusing on lowering immigration and really banging on about it these trump fancying twats will be in charge of the country
HeadBat1863 on
Funny how the BBC are now making such a big deal about a council election with less than 1000 people voting.
Never seen them publish articles when it’s any other Party winning such an incredibly low stake.

“Hey, you know what’ll solve our problems? Voting for these guys again. I know that Brexit was a huge distraction that didn’t solve these problems (and on almost every conceivable metric made them worse). But I’ve got a good feeling about this time.”

They’re idiots, Brexit was a pack of lies built on a foundation of xenophobia and more lies. It was about the rich getting richer and removing the freedoms the working class enjoyed as part of the European Union.
Now Farage is riding on the same intolerant bullshit sentiment they used to push Brexit through in an attempt to pivot our country to the hard right. Oh and make himself more money through grift, backhanders and plundering the NHS, pensions and anything else he can lay his grubby fingers on.
Voters should be forced to look at what’s really happening in the US now Trump’s back in and then all the pictures and videos of Farage with Trump and Elon, Reform would be just as big a disaster for the UK as Trump is for the US.

I bet they all watch GB News which is a propaganda outlet for Reform. Just like Fox is in the USA for the MAGAs

Proving we have as many morons here in U.K. as USA gave over there! Are morons are voting for a fascist party!

Let me just put this on the record for the people who don’t know how these local elections work:
The electorate in this ward (Bedingfeld) in 2023 was 2450, and the Conservatives won with 377 out of 728 votes. Turnout in 2019 was 709 out of 2396. 414 out of 767 is consistent with previous turnouts and voter counts.
Don’t underestimate how many voters can be drawn towards parties like reform.
Celebrate the actual wins that Labour are achieving. Be upfront about their failures. Don’t accept the typical BS about how Farage might ‘save’ the UK.
