It's a similar situation to what's happened in Cornwall council. Reform won the majority of votes, but not enough to win the seat outright. They had two weeks to try and form a working council party and they just fell out with all of the other councillors because their plans were unworkable. So the Lib Dems formed a minority council with a coalition from Labour and Tory councillors. Reform have a say on that council, but they were simply unfit to lead it This is the reality of Reform when they are voted in. All mouth and no actual workable policies.
Not been a good day today but this cheered me up. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/2025/09/27/george-galloway-detained-under-terrorism-act/
Nah nothing changes for me mate. Never been asked for my national insurance number as someone pays me in cash tbh Its the clones buried in the system that will suffer mainly
Nationalisation of the railways, the Workers Rights Act, Leasehold Reform Act and Tenants Rights Act all making their way through Parliament, reduced NHS waiting lists, VAT on private schools, Inheritance Tax on the landed gentry, all says they’re delivering on quite a bit of that. It takes time to put right 14 years of austerity, not to mention 40 years of right wing libertarian economics, but it’s not true at all that Starmer’s government are the same as what we had before. They’ve made some huge mistakes and scored a few own goals, and in today’s world that’s enough to have most people demanding they go straight in the bin. But just like football fans who always want to sack the manager after a few bad results, most people are basically clueless; which brings us to the real problem with democracy.
I thought the Leasehold Reform Act was brought in by the Tories not Labour, something Michael Gove was working on until they got booted out? As for the Workers Rights Act, no one has cared about the binmen losing £8k per annum out of their wages, seems to have fallen on deaf ears, because Unite are the wrong sort of Union or something. As for waiting times of which I am one... 11 September 2025 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c3dr52l1j3yo I couldn't give a toss either way, just sounds like the usual bullshit to me, depending on what team colour you support.
