Politicians endlessly blame immigration for their own failures. So, when immigration is reduced, their ‘success’ isn’t recognised. No one’s life has particularly improved. Because no one’s life was ever going to improve by reducing immigration. Because our problems were never caused by immigration.

Good grief. "A proposal to reduce the time opposition leaders had to respond to leader speeches at full council meetings, from a combined 22 minutes to 17 minutes, was also voted through".

A little perspective. Currently Reform have majority, or minority, control of 28 councils out of 373. 2,339 councillors nationally out of a total of 18,774. Oh, and 8 MPs out of 650. Oh, and possibly three years til a GE.

Politics is personal. It affects real people’s lives. And as an immigrant watching the direction this government is choosing to move in, I am allowed to say: This is simply not good enough and I will not vote for you.

Before Nigel Farage and Reform UK tell you he is now Prime Minister, note there are 650 MPs in Parliament and 20,000 councillors in the UK. Today’s results will likely end with Reform UK having 2500-3000/20,000 councillors and still just 8/650 MPs.

Jeez. Nigel Farage is now posting this “We now have 200,000 reasons Reform should be in government” The 200,000 illegal migrants figure Farage is using is over several years and let’s remind ourselves how we got into this mess in the first place - BREXIT When will UK news shows call this out?

“But the fact remains, Farage is a master when it comes to sidestepping criticism. Until the British media up their game, he will continue to ‘get away with it’. This is a disaster for our democracy.” Why would the British media up their game? Much of it supports and promotes Farage.

Makes sense. Scratch beneath the surface of his greivance-driven whingeing and racist slogans and there's nothing there. No solutions. No thoughtful policies. No constructive thinking. It's the same at local level. No answers. No desire to work for the community. A vacuous personality cult.
