Is Nige beginning to look a bit orange, there? Could be nicotine stains, I suppose.

In the run up to the local elections people on this thread were saying that Reform can't do anything about the boats only Labour can. Now that numbers have gone up apparently now it's all Reform's fault. Although @cardibach seems to think the numbers have gone down for some reason.

You do make me laugh on here at times with how you twist things.

It’s interesting it’s that age group considering Farage wouldn’t promise the triple lock would continue and said they’d be drawing up a policy on that.

So if those approaching pension age are Reforms highest potential voters I wonder what is drawing that age group?

Nobody is saying it is Reform's fault

Why are asylum seekers such a huge issue for you?

Is your irony detector broken? It’s a very useful thing to have in full working order round here.

If Reform are going to make the big claims, they can't just wriggle out of them with "oh, we didn't mean this election."

And nobody has twisted anything.

You have had it explained to you that the boats are very weather dependent.

You have had it explained to you that net migration, to which the boats make a tiny contribution, is down.

You also appear to have missed the news shared here, this morning, about the raids on people smuggler gangs https://news.sky.com/story/suspected-gang-who-helped-hundreds-of-migrants-enter-uk-illegally-arrested-in-raids-across-england-13378776

So maybe it's you doing the twisting.

Beats me and I'm in that age group!

Probably thinking that they would rather work for 'honest Bob' or James Cleverly so hoping they can hasten this happening in the autumn.

I bet she’s a nightmare to work for. They probably all go into hiding on Wednesday afternoons.

No words...

The magic eight ball that is Liz Truss

The voters in South West Norfolk saw through it...........

I am told they never wanted her in the first place. Apparently at the last election there was a candidate who ran to deliberately split the Conservative vote so she lost. The local party hated her that much it was tolerated

Labour is extending FSM to all children on Universal Credit

Oh dear.

Me too. It is a mystery.

Just came to post about the extension of FSM. Just waiting to hear what the right wing backlash will be.

This is the the thoughts of one reform councillor at my CC 😩https://www.huntspost.co.uk/news/25214693.reform-councillor-andy-osborn-says-children-care-evil/?ref=socialflow&fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAR5oT2F_3xWHjCrsDFcqCvjhtbqBvYrD1Delk1aHd0w8hhLkJZ45jxuKPE27lw_aem_EEZBdU3IGggGx7T-OcTMoQ#

Absolutely no idea of the trauma that some children in the care system have suffered and that unpicking that is complex… yet they are “evil” ☹️

Well clearly a moron. Wonder what his parents were like

Maybe .. “Spare the rod, spoil the child” or “didn’t do me any harm “ or “do as I say and not as I do”
No idea but nevertheless his comments were not useful.

I know it's not on to allude to cured pork products but that twat is the embodiment of gammon.

He has no idea what some of those children have been through. So glad there were some sensible, compassionate grown ups there to set him right.

Oh fuck, he’s one of ours! He represents a part of the fens where they have webbed feet. I can just imagine how that went down with the councillors from Cambridge wards.

I said immigration had gone down. Which it has. Immigration is not limited to boats. In fact they are a tiny, tiny proportion of it.

I’ve often wondered if the Tory’s are deliberating leaving her to rot and destroy the party so that they can swoop in with Jenrick to save the day.
