Didn't do v well at all in (fairly bohemian) Moseley by-election and that's with typically low turnout...

Hope so too- if they are being used again but this time as political pawns that will be utterly sh*tty...

My spidey senses were tingling when listening to the survivors who'd quit because they sounded a bit 'reformy'- I hope these poor young women are not being exploited by the malign forces that seek to divide us. Jess may be a bit
gobby but no-one could challenge her commitment to women's rights...

Just the environmental impact of hugely reducing trade with our neighbours to seek markets much further away should have been enough for us to reject Farage's pie in the sky Brexit- it has increased net migration, made European travel more painful, there is more red tape & we are worse off πŸ€¦β€β™€οΈ

I feel like this too- i sensed I was going to be disappointed when I lent them my vote but with such a majority and some decent people still amongst them you'd think they'd being doing better than this...

She would have turned up to important meetings, not been influenced by the plans of those close to her, would have listened to evidence etc... I thought she was v poor PM but she had at least a sense of public service totally lacking in her usurper...

The data shows Brexit was a massive mistake and badly hurt the economy. We're all paying for it. It was Nigel Farage who sold the lies that it would make life better. How can anyone still listen to him about anything?

Teen daughter is begging me to vote green at by-election this week- problem is we have 5 left of centre candidates and 2 right of centre- without PR, AV or STV I am worried on a wider level that the charlatans of reform will sneak through even though most people don't want them...

I cried in the street after school drop-off when he was elected that December- if this country makes the same mistake with (fake 'man of the people' charlatan) Farage I'm going to train in a shortage occupation to see if I can emigrate...

All performative- shape-shifting principle-free- no wonder there is such widespread distrust of MPs

Yup- and it's probably largely performative which makes it even worse in terms of how low the man will stoop...

Castle on sand, house of cards etc... Reform is all grievance and no substance! Let's hope this becomes apparent before the next GE...And that more of the (highly likely) dodgy dealings of its leaders are revealed!

As the parent of a nearly 17 yr old daughter the idea of men in their forties thinking they would be entitled to come anywhere near my child is horrifying- it may have been technically legal but was still abhorrent to behave in that way with a child... I don't know if I can bear to read it Hannah.

Just heard stables heating, tax shy Nadhim Zahawi passionately arguing that Baroness Mone and her husband must pay back the monies they scammed the tax-payer for... No words...

They lie about the ECHR.
Just like they lied about Brexit. Claiming if we just got rid of that β€˜European’ thing, we’d be free, we’d have control, all our problems solved…
It’s NOT TRUE.
We’d inflict more chaos on ourselves and torch our own human rights framework for NOTHING.
For liars.
Again.

Lots of elderly women, babies in prams and people dressed as giant frogs/chickens it is then! Solidarity from the UK- just hoping we don't acquire one of our own at the next General Election πŸ™

We need to talk about housing, cost of living, insidious influence of social media/press, male violence against women and girls and yes can we please stop talking about the boats/migrants...

If you are watching the Reform Party controlled Councils with their endless mishaps, resignations, fallouts, scandals, mismanagement and sheer comedic idiocy, but still thinking of making these clowns a national government, representing the UK on the global stage, you are literally insane.

A bit dull, a bit disappointing but hard to understand how he could generate enough emotion for all-consuming hatred- Johnson and Farage on the other hand...
