Aplogies for the typo in the title. If you think this makes me look stupid, you are proving that you are a bigoted bully, flailing around in desperation. It's just a typo, entirely down to a slightly sub par keyboard.

Restore took all ten council seats. Anywhere it stood, it won. Many Reform voters have indicated they'd have voted Restore but since they were unavailable they voted Reform as next best. Starmer still refusing to leave, in line totalitarian dictators of old, Starmer's response being, basically "People didn't vote for us because we didn't do all the things they didn't want and didn't vote for even faster".

Farage's Reform UK Party currently standing at 1237 Seats - having won 1235 seats. Starmer's Labour Party has lost 1,108 Seats and retains only 801. And literally 10/10 for Restore :)

So the question is - do the excessively far left radicals (who are highly active on mumsnet but have never represented the majority in real life) still believe that repeatedly using the slur of racist and calling the majority of British people stupid for having absolutely standard uncontroversial reviews, was the right thing to do? Will you continue to use that failed tactic in an attempt to silence your opponents?

Further to that, are you aware that calling me racist, stupid and the others slurs you are itching to type is an obvious and ignorant own goal and only proves the point I am making?

Or do you find shouting slurs at the majority of UK citizens cathartic, so you will still attempt to use these slurs, despite them no longer having any meaning or power?

YABU

Or have you finally understood that the majority of the UK are standard, average people hold uncontroversial views and that they have perfectly valid reasons to vote Reform and Restore? Are you able to understand that people you have been trying to silence with the slurs of Nazi, racist and "far right" are in fact perfectly centrist, commonplace and average voters? Can you learn from your mistakes moving forward?

YANBU

To assist you with critical thinking, here's a quick recap of Starmer's failures:

Pursued a hard line, far left globalist agenda at the expense of UK citizens, against their wishes.
Raised the minimum wage and National Insurance contributions, leading to thousands of job losses and businesses folding.
Continuing to pursue the politics of envy, introduced VAT to private school fees leading to many excellent seats of learning closing their doors.
Removed winter fuel payments to pensioners, despite his own party claiming a couple of years earlier that this would result in pensioner deaths.
Consistently refused to answer questions during the session in the parliamentary week set aside for this specific purpose.
Unilaterally gave away billions of pounds of taxpayers money with no accountability required from the recipient.
Failed to control mass immigration, both legal and illegal.
Introduced legislation that will destroy the private rental market and create hundreds of thousands of homeless families.
Promised to build 1.5 million homes in five years despite everyone telling him it would be impossible.
Failed to address muslim rape gangs.
Increased welfare payments to a point where benefits now cost more than the entire income tax take.
Allowed weekly pro-Palestinian hate marches on UK streets.
Completly ignored the massive rise of anti semitism, attempted to gaslight the UK on the subject.
Consistently referred to people with concerns about the proliferation of migrant violence as "Far Right".
Promoted a friend to high office while knowing he was chums with one of the most prolific paedophiles on the planet.
Consistently worked to reverse the result of the biggest democratic vote in British history by stealth.
Placed tax dodgers, fraudsters and CV fantasists in Ministerial posts.
Invited a known islamist terrorist to No.10 while simultaneously banning foreign commentators from the UK for merely reporting on the border fiasco.
Took two weeks to find a Royal Navy ship that actually worked.
Failed to help motorists and hauliers after the rise in the price of fuel caused by the war in Iran.
Continues to allow Ed Milliband to wreck the UK's energy industry with his unworkable and deeply unpopular Net Zero policies.
Consistently failed to accept responsibility for any wrong doing.
Alienated "working people" while claiming to be on their side.

Well, Britain is going to bed refreshed and energised, a new day has dawned, the British are delighted to see the first step taken towards celebrating and reinstating the British way of life (insert obvious and boring comment from radical far leftist as British people are not allowed to have the same rights as other countries to enjoy and be enthusiastic about, or celebrate their thousands of years of heritage).

Well done Reform, you'll do for now until Restore has the time to swoop in and win across the board :)

And well done Restore, an amazing start - figuratively and literally ten out of ten :)

What a huge relief 😍

Can't wait for Restore to come and split the far right vote. Any party wanting to win on our backlog of negativity wherever they are, the spectrum, I hope eventually fail.

MyAutumnCrow · 08/05/2026 23:44

You write a lot, I’ll give you that.

Gonnagetgoingreturnsagain · 08/05/2026 23:46

I’m not against stronger policies for immigrants but I really don’t sit comfortably with a party backed by Elon Musk and also attracting a lot of neo Nazi support.

Couldn't get to the end of that rubbish, but your title was wrong on both fronts.

MrsBennetsPoorNervesAreBack · 08/05/2026 23:58

Got bored and couldn't be arsed to read to the end.

Just one point to note though. Calling people racist or stupid or whatever isn't a tactic. It's just an observation. We don't think it's going to silence you or change your minds. We are just saying what we see and acknowledging the fact that we don't like it.

As for Restore, they're vile but I am very much hoping that they will split the far right vote. If they still exist by the time of the next election.

TrixieFatell · 09/05/2026 00:01

I think given the turn out it's a stretch to say it's the majority. Maybe more would have voted for reform, maybe more would have voted for others? We won't know. I think it reflects more voter apathy and a disillusionment with politics then an actual agreement for what Reform stand for. The country doesn't seem energised at all, it feels like it's given up a bit.

tobee · 09/05/2026 00:02

”far left radical” this is not a serious post

Oh, I avoided bullet points so nobody would pretend they thought this was Chat GPT, just by the way :)

But it's an easily accessible post, easy to read with a simple list, so hopefully not too much for most of you.

If you find my post difficult to comprehend, please do get off the screens and read more books, that will help with concentration and critical thinking.

And I do apologise for this rather cheap keyboard, will replace asap as it's not helpful to have occasional typos, especially given how desperate some of you are to pretend you the average Reform/Restore voter is stupid 😂

I don't think you have to be far left to think that Reform is a racist party (not all its voters, but the party itself).

I'm LibDem which is no more left tham middle of the road at best. But I definitely adsociate reform with racism. I've barely heard of Restore, just think of them as basically the same as Reform.

Perhaps you could try using ChatGPT, OP? It's still developing but you might find it helps to reduce the drivel?

Yes. Great news for Thai crypto billionaires and all the same big buisiness interests who used to bankroll the Tory Party. Well done!

Pearlstillsinging · 09/05/2026 00:18

I really think that you can't say what the majority of the country wants when the turnout in a election is as low as it was yesterday, 21% in my ward.
It's disgraceful, voting should be mandatory, imho.

Anyway, talk amongst yourselves, I am off to bed.

I am happy to have provided a simple breakdown of events, easy to read and digest, and a clear list of reasons why Starmer is utterly loathed and despised.

How wonderful that the British public have spoken so clearly :)

A great day for the UK and we can all move forward now, relieved that the UK is moving in the right direction.
