Where I'm from, they are always in need of volunteers to help with the Christmas lights. I wonder how many of these lampost experts will throw their names in the hat.

To be fair, they’re losing MPs at a much faster rate.
One in twenty Reform councillors elected in May 2025 has left by the Autumn
- half expelled/suspended
- a quarter resigned from council
- some defected

An "unusual rate" of attrition in 6 months, says Tony Travers

There have been a few cases now of Reform members and this case an actual councillor quitting over their extremist position about ending ILR. As an aside both the Grauniad and Sky mention his concerns over ILR but the BBC report doesn’t…

A woman is killed by a man every 3 days in the UK...

78% are murdered by a partner/ex

Yet not once have I heard Reform talk about this

Not once have I heard them back measures to protect women’s safety

In fact, they voted against them...

@mrjamesob.bsky.social devoted the last 10 mins of his LBC show today to examining the similarities between what Nathan Gill said & what Nigel Farage said in the EU parliament about Russia and Ukraine. James was very clear that only the former has been charged with accepting Russian bribes though.

I find it so ironic that a Reform UK Ltd "MP" can complain that adverts aren't a true representation of Britain, when it seems on Radio/TV/Social media, one of the 5 so called Reform MPs (Out of the 650 MPs in parliament) are on these platforms daily! Hypocrites!
