**** me reform sweep the board in Staffordshire County Council so i've now got muppets in charge in the area . My guess is my local council will be held by reform considering the brexit percentage .
Slightly terrifying how many councils will be run by a party with nearly zero experience of doings so .

The Conservatives have lost control of Kent County Council for the first time in almost thirty years.

Leader Roger Gough, who lost his own seat, described the situation as "apocalyptic" for his party.

The Conservatives have lost 32 of the first 44 seats to be declared, 29 of which were won by Reform UK.

All 72 electoral divisions across the county are up for election - equating to 81 councillors in total.

Farage just said in a live interview with Beth Rigby, saying he didn't even expect to do this well. Complete media scrum in Durham right now.

I doubt that very much, I think most people on here would have expected Reform to do very very well

So Farage certainly must have had a very good idea about what to expect today.

It's the usual Farage line though, "beyond even our wildest expectations!"

I genuinely don't think he did, I know I certainly didn't. Yeah I expected some sort of protest vote but not on this scale. So sorry mate, I don't agree, maybe i've not been paying close enough attention, I don't usually look at anything to do with Reform, I just leave that to everyone else obsessed with them.

Personally I wouldn't vote for any of them, and I'm not even sure what people think Reform can do with this voting outcome, I don't even think Reform themselves know what they can do with it, same old bollocks from all of them.

Maybe I shouldn't be surprised then, I do think everyone needs to wake up, people are getting tired of these old politics and want something different. Trump in America should be a warning to everyone if you don't get your house in order you win stupid prizes.

I expected them to do very very well but this is on another scale . Right now they have had more councillors elected than Lab , Con and Lib Dems combined .

Nor me Solid, never expected this and I'm astonished by the numbers I'm seeing on the news.
 
If anything the Tories have got worse, they really haven't learned any lessons.

Fast reminder everyone:

Bodinki said on here he very rarely gets politics wrong and guaranteed that Kemi Badenoch would be PM after the next election.

Bodinki said:
So, it looks like we will be welcoming our fast black Prime Minister in a couple years in Kemi.....
Lets see what she can do.

Laugh all you want, but I am getting pretty good at this, I called Brexit's victory and Trumps victories in 2016, I called the Tory victory in 2019, Bidens victory in 2020, Labours victory in 2024 and Trumps victory in the last US election, I am getting quite good at this.
And at the moment unless Labour pull something amazing out of the bag in the next 2 years, they are screwed.
