Senedd Election 2026

[goats]

I went to a multi party , multi trade , multi profession focus meeting about the threat reform poses

The concensus , officially , was that they were floating on the edge of racism

Once we got the pleasantries out of the way the links between reform , voice of wales , patriotic alternative etc .....all active here in south wales were laid open

I mean people can ponce about as much as they like but its obvious what they are

Where did you go? Multi trade? That’s an elaborate way to describe your daily visit to Greggs, have they actually got one in Cowbridge? I wouldn’t have thought it would be allowed in such a Reform/Tory stronghold

[goats]

Well you are another one who's done a very good job of defending reform yet saying you havnt yet decided who you are going to vote for yet

Pull the other one

They are a party led by an ex national front hanger on

Surely you are not as stupid as you appear

Far more
Not decided because I don’t know yet but it will be a vote against this shower of sh*te we have had to suffer in Wales for the last 25 years that’s for sure

[goats]

Of course he hasn't. It's just a game for him. He's got to rant about the far right and racism irrespective of the reality of it.

His inability to mention a single policy that treats British people differently based on race says everything.

Strangely he failed to respond to my comment on two of reforms ideas, whether they become reality, who knows, but let’s face it, do Labour ever stick to what they say they will do in their manifestos? Yeah rightio. I guess not paying tax until you earn 20k would have no bearing on him, you would think he might care more about the legions of uk poor and homeless though rather than sorting out the problems of other foreign countries first? Weird

Dear Mr Reform Voter meet Mr Reform Voter

You are both intending to prop up a racist party

Enjoy each other's company

You are most welcome

It is interesting to see the Reform 'promises' unravel now they have control over a few councils (9 is it?) and also have Andrea Jenkyns as mayor of Greater Lincolnshire. Kent is their flagship and they are in meltdown. The 'big savings' they were going to make by sacking equalities staff have not happened - because there weren't any equalities staff. After 14-15 years of austerity there is no low hanging fruit even for fans of DOGE, inequality and carbon emissions. Snake oil salesmen!

The 'no income tax below £20k' promise has already gone. It is now 'aspirational'. It may happen after a Reform government has sacked all the civil servants. However, the tax break pledge for the super rich is still in place. The imaginary Reform savings have been spent 4 or 5 times over already - so none of it stacks up even if the 'savings' were real.

I know all the parties make false promises - but Reforms have been more dishonest than the norm.

So what is left? Stop immigrants. End net zero. 'War on woke'. Law and order (more police, harsher sentences, more gaols, end the court backlog - all funded by sacking civil servants!). Flag shagging!

Flag shagging could become a national sport soon. What a bummer!

Much more into this kind of post than all the mud slinging and name calling.

It's absolutely fair enough to hold Reform councils to account. My general opinion is that they will do marginally better than others, if that. The big changes that impact spending come from higher up and it's very difficult to find huge savings in statutory areas, as councils have to deliver them.

There are savings to be made, but they take time, and obviously six months operating on the previous administrations budget is not long enough to turn things around, if that is possible at all.

The diversity stuff is a valid enough criticism but there's previously little money to be saved. At the most you are probably talking about 0.5 members of staff. Sure, all staff doing online courses takes a little time, perhaps an hour or two out of a year, but there's no real direct savings to be made. I do think things should be fundamentally refocused though to focus on what unites us rather than what divides, but again, no real or immediate savings there.

In fairness to you Sludge. What you have written here has as much relevance to the topic as everything else you have written. 🤷

Remember when Labour were pledging no tax rises if they were to win, yet Rachel from accounts managed a £40 billion rise straight after, more to come this month aswell. Such honesty and transparency like Angela too

There are enough uneducated morons around as it is and you advocate cutting the half a job per council that tries to improve relationships in the country?

As for Reform needing longer to turn things around…😂

It doesn't improve anything, it just amplifies differences. Sows the seeds for division.
