For all Farage’s attempts to pretend otherwise there can be little doubt of his racist bullying behaviour and it’s clearly left a lasting effect on this particular victim.

Every few days there are further reports of Reform fighting like cats in a sack. They can’t have the time to deal with all their internal enquiries never mind providing our services.

Reform looking to turf care home residents out of council facilities. It’s hardly a surprise I guess especially given Farage’s preference for privatisation.
You’ve got to wonder what that Reform member, Phil Price, thought he was voting for.

There’s never a dull moment with Reform in charge. Five more chucked out of the party including my local county councillor Brian Black. What a bleeding shambles.

Sad to see a historic club like Wednesday in such dire straits. Bad owners (and their egos) can really screw over a football club and often have little interest or concern for what it means to the supporters. Time for Chansiri to move on and let them rebuild.

Reform councillors continuing their internal warfare rather than focusing on the job that they’ve been elected to do at Kent County Council. The county council is being led by incompetents.

Surely Linden Kemkaran brought the Reform party into disrepute by her behaviour on the virtual meeting? Perhaps she should be the fifth suspension?

Seems like the Birmingham safety advisory group are right to worry about Maccabi Tel Aviv supporters coming to Aston Villa. Maybe our politicians should stop interfering and let the experts make informed decisions to reduce the “risk to human lives”.

As a resident of Kent it’s shocking, but maybe not surprising, to see that this is how Reform run things. These guys should not be in control of Kent’s services and billions of pounds of council tax revenue.
It’s important to think carefully before casting a vote
