        No, but we also don’t have to be his publicist either.

        This article isn’t news, it’s just what he’s said he’s hoping for.

          This article is a call to action for the left to form a broad coalition to stop Reform getting elected:

          He said: “Labour are going to find their vote horrendously split with the Greens and Corbyn and the Gaza independents. All these different people. There is a chance that Labour vote really gets hit.”

    Six London councils? Not a chance.

    I do unfortunately still think Reform will win the next GE, but London won’t be the reason why.

      The outer-suburban councils, where everybody drives and resents congestion charges/low emission zones/cyclists/tax money being spent on public transport for metropolitan “elites”? The fash have a better chance than you think.

      Seems way too early to be making such predictions. “A week is a long time in politics” as they say

      To me it’s very weird how every election I’ve been part of so far in the UK has been viewed as basically predetermined long ahead of time. What’s up with that?

        People are idiots who happily vote for a catchy slogan from a lovable rascal, than vote for their interests. Especially if said rascal has the financial banking of a few billionaires, can spread the slogan far and wide across all media, and can even cow the official news sources to feature it

        I assume that’s how they keep rioting at a minimum. Nobody questions if everything is going according to how they were told it would be, to paraphrase the Joker.
