We, the LibDems, were ignored when we had more MPs than RefUK even when we were pushing 20% in the polls. โ€œPolls donโ€™t matter, itโ€™s all about MPs!โ€ was the chorus.

Of course the big question is how Epstein was fundedโ€ฆ

Palantir: Why is the Israel-linked surveillance firm embedded in Britain's NHS? Medical professionals, lawyers and activists express concern over the tech giant's government contracts given ties to US immigration and Israeli surveillance operations

๐ŸŽตI think Iโ€™ve seen this film before, and I didnโ€™t like the endingโ€ฆ๐ŸŽถ

The people who broke our country are the same people Nigel Farage is now relying on to fix it.

It couldnโ€™t be clearer: Reform UK are simply the Conservatives with a new logo.

Bucks Council merged into a unitary a few years ago. The grandfathered councillors sat in the new authority until new elections were held.

Itโ€™s not an option. It was a consultation. Yeah they should have just gone ahead.

26.01.2026 17:34 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 0    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Because itโ€™s Labourโ€™s decision not the councilsโ€™ decisions. They should just press on with the elections. The councils have no power to delay.

This is the second delay in many areas including mine. Whilst I have respect for many councillors the world will not end if they have to stand again.

Not quite right though. The question posed to councils was โ€œWill carrying out elections negatively affect operation of the council?โ€ Very broad question which some local leaders have used to delay elections they know they will lose. Some might have valid concerns though.

26.01.2026 16:47 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 0    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Not strictly true. The councils have been asked whether holding the election might negatively affect their operations. Slightly different question.

Also allows all councils to throw it back at the government which displays political naivety from Labour.

I donโ€™t think he โ€œspeaks like the common manโ€ I think he speaks well and clearly. We might not know his policies for the country if he canโ€™t even standโ€ฆ his policies are likely to be similar. This all just makes Starmer look weak.

26.01.2026 14:04 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 0    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Burnham is no Johnson. You need the policies and the ability to set out and communicate a coherent agenda. Starmer isnโ€™t doing well at this.

Reform is basically a suburban petrol station's DVD bin of Tory politicians.

Suella De Vil unremarkably jumps ship to ReformUK.

Sheโ€™s been there in spirit for a number of years!

Thatโ€™s spin. If he wants to stop being mayor thatโ€™s his choice.

I donโ€™t know his policies but I think heโ€™d be more likely to enact Starmerโ€™s policies more efficiently. Heโ€™s a better communicator than Starmer too.

Starmer would strengthen himself considerably if he fired McSweeney.

Bluesky idea: if people who didn't agree with you change their opinions so that they do agree with you, why not be happy that you are making progress - rather than complaining that they are "only just catching up"?

It's a good job Nigel Farage didn't inadvertently overclaim a fiver on Universal Credit, because he'd really be in trouble then
