#UK_politics In case you are wondering, of course the Labour party saying "only the Labour party can stop Farrage" and "there must be tactical standing down (of people who aren't the labour party)" and Burnham or not, that's going to be their line for the next three years. And if you want to submit to a "democrats exist to prevent change" political future, sure, go along with it, but I caution you, that's the politics that gave America Trump twice.

John Crace writes: "While the Tories have always been quite ruthless about getting rid of a leader they deem surplus to requirements, Labour MPs seem unable to decide whether their regicide is a tragedy or a comedy. Or a mixture of both."

I’m fed up of Starmer supporters parroting versions of the line that he ‘won’ the general election by a landslide. No. It wasn’t his win. It was a vote for ‘anyone but the ‘Tories’.
I suppose they have to find something to say in support but for me it just emphasises how completely out of touch they are and how they’ll say anything to justify their position.

"The bio on Cllr Mousdell’s OnlyFans account describes him as a gay pornstar and DJ, while on X he describes himself as having size eight feet, boasting about the size of his manhood and encouraging people to get in touch to “collab”."

"Reform UK have said that a Sheffield councillor has brought the party ‘into disrepute’ after deleted social media posts in which he says the UK has a ‘subhuman underclass’ were shared by The Star.
On a now deleted X account - formerly Twitter - councillor Nathaniel Menday shared pictures of swastikas, Adolf Hitler’s book Mein Kampf and other far right iconography like the Sonnenrad, or ‘sun wheel’."

Honest Bod being Honest Bob.
"Detectives are investigating claims that Jenrick accepted a foreign donation for his campaign to become Tory leader in 2024. The investigation comes after an inquiry by the elections watchdog.
Jenrick, who is Reform UK’s Treasury spokesman, has repeatedly said he believed the money had been given to him by Phillip Ullmann, a British businessman, whose company Spott Fitness was declared as the source of the funding." -

If you hold a a display on the Holocaust, you will be honoured. BUT try holding one on the Genocide of Gaza or the Decades of Brutality against the Palestinians, the answer is "NO" This "show was abruptly cancelled following an intervention by a group called the UK Lawyers for Israel (UKLFI), which claimed the images were anti-Semitic. https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/5/14/uk-artist-defends-drawings-against-genocide-show-after-cancellation #UK_politics #israelWarCrimes

From our rudderless local authority correspondent.
"After gaining 13 councillors on May 7, Reform is now the second largest group in the borough. But with a total of 16 elected members, they would need to come to an agreement with other political groups to reach a majority consensus to put them in a position of power.
But this is exactly what the group have ruled out doing, with Oldham’s Reform leader Lewis Quigg stating the group ‘would not be doing secret deals behind closed doors’ or joining any coalitions."

Labour: Put Your Dinner Tray Up and Assume the Crash Position
JM Smith"Britain’s recent local elections tell a story less about the rise of the Green Party than about fascism becoming England’s factory default setting in the 21st century.
Neoliberalism does that to a people because its ideology diminishes the state in order to enrich its most privileged citizens." -

@jonpsp It appears Mr Pooley of the #Ipswich Farage Fan Club has previous form.
"Shayne Pooley used to be a Conservative councillor at Ipswich Borough Council but was suspended from his party in 2022 after being accused of putting up social media posts that attempted to justify President Vladimir Putin's invasion of Ukraine."
Supporting Vlad the Invader is not a good look, Shayne, my lad!

"Our free and fearless press’ demonising of Green Party leader Zack Polanski had little effect. Their lack of Reform UK scrutiny was so, so telling: Farage and his pals are an Establishment party. The rest of the Establishment gives the game away by giving Reform UK a free pass, right down to the party fielding, and getting elected, an actual Holocaust denier."
