the local election results and labour / reform

It doesn't take a mathematical  genius to see that Reform have (as expected) done very well in these elections, but at the expense of The Conservatives, not Labour.  The Conservatives have been heading further right in the hope of not loosing voters to Reform, but you can never go far enough right to appease these people amongst all the headlines and rhetoric about 'illegals'. As Reform are just batshit crazy far right and have lots of money from their rich backers, plus the support of the right wing press (which is pretty much all of the press), of course Reform did well. I agree with Dan Ball (below). Labour shouldn't make the mistake of veering to the right or trying to attract Reform voters, it's the voters who have buggered off and voted Green or the Liberal Democrats they should be concerned about, as people voted Labour in for change, social change and a fairer distribution of wealth, plus taking care of the needy, so winter fuel cutbacks and changes to PIP obviously are not going down well and come across as petty austerity measures and Tory lite. Policy from Labour needs to become more left wing, to reclaim their base camp, and remind people why they gave Labour a landslide victory, but l've a nasty feeling they may make the wrong choice, and l speak as a Labour supporter. We'll see, and l hope l am proved wrong.

Didn't take the twat Farage to ape Donald Trump's agenda.

Meanwhile, in the dunces corner....
