What phase is this you are in? Denial or bargaining? I think councils are in charge of planning permission so if a landowner did submit a request to install bird killing monstrosities in their fields then they would need council approval, would they not?

It's weird how Reform councillors are being held to some kind of standard that is not applied to Labour. It's not as if Reform have ousted the creme de la creme of politicians. Labour have set the embarrassment bar so high I don't even know if it is possible for Reform to reach it. If Reform make efforts to cut wastage of taxpayer money or resist illegal migrants staying in taxpayer funded hotels and the Unions stand in their way who do you think the public will blame? If the purple haired nose ring wearing weirdos turn up to protest with their placards who do you think the public will side with? The Labour/Tory uni-party have failed. They continue to fail. It will take a monumental effort for Reform to do a worse job in either the council or government.

Have you not noticed how loud Reform have been with just 4 MPs? I suspect they will become a lot louder with all these councillors, councils and now mayors in their party. Obviously there is limits on what councils can do when the incompetent clowns in government have the real power, but they can certainly demonstrate wastefulness in the councils and be transparent about what money is being spent on (I doubt any rainbow colored zebra crossings will be painted in Reform areas for example), they can resist illegal migrants being put in hotels in their council areas causing those migrants to be housed in Labour voting areas which will in turn highlight how bad the problem is, which of course in turn will lead to those areas turning to Reform. Next year the areas which Reform were favorites to win will get their turn to vote in the local elections as Labour were too scared to let them vote this year. What do you think Labour will achieve within a year to prevent Reform gobbling up the majority of councils in England and Wales? Smash the gangs perhaps? Fix the foundations? Go further and faster? Or <insert your nonsense 3 word slogan here>?

So, dare we ask how it is they are in the UK? Were they part of the doctor/scientist/engineering expeditions that cross the channel every day to enrich the lives of UK citizens by ensuring their hotel capacity remains full?

I think cowardice is the wrong word here. Complicit is the word I would use as I have little doubt that Labour party councillors were directly involved in the cover up and enabling of thousands upon thousands of girls being raped by these muslim rape gangs, and I have little doubt that he was complicit even during his time in the CPS. Any national enquiry that would reveal how deeply involved the Labour party were in this so will never happen under their watch. This tweet is an example of just how much Starmer and other Labour MPs really care about girls (children) being raped by foreign migrants. Maybe if Reform get into power these people (including Starmer) can face justice and hopefully the inside of a prison cell for this.

Labour came into power with the weakest share of the vote to form a majority in history and received less votes than Jeremy Corbyn. Their majority is a house of cards that was always going to collapse with the first opportunity people got to correct this monumental election error. They were lucky Reform were not more established as no-one voted for what Labour were offering, they just didn't want to vote for the Tories hence just 20% of the electorate were able to give them an undeserved majority. It could and should have been worse in the local elections for Labour but these anti-democratic clowns cancelled a lot of the local elections in the UK where Reform were favorites to win. Starmer is back on his 3 word slogans which is his default cowardly position, with his latest moronic offering being "further and faster" as he is delusional enough to think that people want Labour to do more of what they are doing, just a bit faster.

You mean like the excellent vetting the Labour party carry out?

In the Labour party? No I cannot. They are all clowns. This is why I said if he genuinely cares about the UK or had any self awareness he would call for an early general election so this mistake can be corrected as even if he steps down another clown would take his place. Outside of the Labour party then Jenrick or Farage would be an improvement if they back up their words with actions.

Don't be ridiculous. If that clown had turned up with his sniveling, nasally, 2 tiered voice armed with his 3 word slogans on repeat mode the result would have swung even further in favor of Reform. He is the most hated, detested PM in my lifetime. If he had any self awareness whatsoever and cared one iota for what is best for the people of the UK he would have already resigned and called for another general election so people can elect someone more competent to run the country.

I didn't say its not a real thing. But people are no longer required to validate other peoples fantasies or delusions. People have lost their jobs or been punished in other ways for effectively saying "the emperor is not wearing any clothes". A girl was recently banned from playing football as the opposing team had a "trans woman" playing on it and she asked if "he was a man". https://freespeechunion.org/another-teenage-footballer-banned-for-asking-if-trans-opponents-were-men/ A nurse was suspended for complaining as she didn't want to get changed in the same changing room as a man pretending to be a woman. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cy8p41z972vo These are 2 of hundreds of incidents where the delusion was attempted to be forced onto people where they are supposed to deny the reality of what their eyes and their ears are telling them. You can believe whatever you want to believe. Nobody cares if you think the earth is flat or that men can become women so long as you don't try and force others to participate in this delusion.

Yes yes, people can do whatever they want no matter how weird it seems, but just because someone identifies as a dog doesn't mean they get to compete in Crufts and get treated by a vet when they are ill. Men pretending to be women can still do so, but they cannot use that as a ruse to compete against actual women in sports, nor get their penis out in women's changing rooms with legal protection, nor demand that a woman who is uncomfortable with waxing hairy balls waxes their hairy balls. They also cannot demand that others validate their delusions or fantasies by forcing others to address them as women and try to get them arrested or fired from their jobs for correct-gendering. Those bonkers days are thankfully over now. "But but but they are banning trans women from sport!!!" No they are not, trans women (aka men) can compete in mens sports, they can use mens changing rooms and they even can save time queuing at the toilet by legally using the urinals provided in mens toilets. They went too far. Wanting male rapists who identity as women to be housed in women's prisons was too far. Competing against women in sports was too far. Getting people fired from their jobs for misgendering was too far. Demanding they can flash women in changing rooms was too far. The pendulum will now swing back just as far in the other direction and they only have themselves to blame for this as they are no longer seen as harmless by women who previously would not have cared less if a trans women who looked like a woman (which is about 1 in 100 in the UK) used their facilities.

Big congrats to Spain on achieving net zero for the day! This just shows what can be achieved by moving away from the tried and tested, dare I say reliable, means of providing energy to the nation. Thanks to this remarkable achievement Spain did not output any emissions at all whilst they ventured back into the dark ages for a while. I have to admit I didn't feel any colder myself but I'm sure the well funded scientific consensus community will be along shortly to tell us what an impact this made to the entirely man made climate apocalypse and how we should all be comfortable (and excited) for more planned energy grid shutdowns in the future. "Just 2 weeks to flatten the climate curve" will be the cry from the politicians and climate emergency enthusiasts.

Yes but the point of this article is that the wealthy are leaving the UK and will contribute less or nothing to the tax system based on the moronic policies of the morons in government. Seeing as the top 1% contribute 30% of the UKs tax revenue and the bottom 50% of people actually paying tax contribute 10% (note that doesn't include welfare claimants who contribute nothing of course), then really they should listen when the top one 1% vote with their feet and cease to contribute. Anyway, I'm going to set up a fund that "leftists who celebrate millionaires leaving the UK" can contribute to which will help make up for the shortfall. This way the the government can continue to spaff away the money on nonsense like dimming the sun in one of least sunny countries in the world. It needs to raise £1bn based on the 10% loss of capital gains since Rachel from accounts announced the capital gains tax increase. How much can I put you down for?

Are you suggesting that the current government knows better how to spend their money than they do? The same government that is spaffing away £50m on dimming the sun which is Canute levels of stupidity? Or £2bn on capturing carbon from the sea? Of spaffing £8n on "GB energy"? People who have money have it as they didn't spaff it all away on hare-brained schemes like the current morons who seem to think they are in charge of wasting other peoples money as fast and stupidly as they can, thinking they can just keep going back to the golden goose over and over again without consequence.

https://www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/article/capital-gains-tax-receipts-h78d8tkrh#:~:text=According to data from HM,the same period last year. Raising taxes means less tax receipts. They can sit on their assets and sell them (if they want) when a more sensible government comes in that actually understands economics.
