“The More Than 30 Scandal-Hit Reform Candidates Elected Last Week”

@UKLabour

“At least four newly-elected Reform UK councillors appear to have been suspended, expelled or resigned their seats altogether since the local elections in England. They only took place last Thursday, 7 May.

But there are more than 30 other new Reform councillors who face allegations of wrongdoing, hypocrisy, sharing hateful social media material and more, analysis by Byline Times finds, none of whom appear to have faced any disciplinary action so far”

“Is There a 'Green Ceiling'?”

@green

“The Greens face a potential ceiling to their support, if they are perceived as polarising or even as ‘rabblerousers’ rather than offering bold leadership that unites Britain around a response to its real challenges – inequality, the cost-of-living and insecurity, including from environmental breakdown. This concern about a ceiling is now a real and present risk: The election campaign that just concluded showed clearly that the Greens are definitely at risk of being perceived as unsafe controversialists”

LONDON'S POLITICAL SHIFT: LOCAL ELECTIONS REVEAL A DEEPENING DIVIDE FROM THE REST OF ENGLAND

London's local election results on May 4th, 2026, show Labour lost many seats but held more in London than elsewhere. Reform UK did less well in London.

#LondonElections, #LocalElections2026, #LabourParty, #GreenParty, #ReformUK

https://newsletter.tf/london-election-results-2026-vote-split-england/

Labour lost over 350 seats in London, but kept more of its seats there than in other parts of England. The Green Party won two new mayors in London.

“Stop making excuses: the UK is filled with racists who’ll happily vote Reform”

“Make no mistake: Great Britain has always been a far-right, racist circus; currently, that circus is gathering in the shape of Reform’s sweeping victories in the local elections. After all, let’s remember that Nigel Farage has not just waved a magic wand and tricked loads of people into voting for him. Instead, he’s piped his merry little tune to get racist white people happily skipping along behind him. If there is going to be any chance of resisting Reform’s fascism and racism, the left must accept it as such”

England is broken, His name is Stuart Prior and he also tweeted White people are the master race …. And if you’re expecting reform to expel him, Farage has know about him for months….

And that’s the sign the scum party, the party that gave us Farage , the party that gave us Brexit is finally finished.

“Sir Keir Starmer killed the Labour Party for Israel”

by Ricky And Council Estate Media on Substack

@UKLabour
@uk_politics

“While there are many layers to Labour’s unpopularity, the driving force behind Starmer’s leadership has been his unwavering Zionism. He purged critics of Israel, stripped away protest rights, treated pensioners and activists as ‘terrorists’, censored the internet, pandered to the Israeli ambassador, and continued arms supplies to Israel while pretending otherwise. Who can forget his chilling statement that Israel has a right to withhold food, water, and energy from Palestinians?”
