A warning to the traditional parties or simply evidence of ever decreasing education standards in England?

Now we know why Two Tier Keir postponed those 9 local authority elections.
It matters not a jot, they will lose them bigly too.
The Runcorn result was epic, the fact the margin was so close just made it all the sweeter.
The populist party taking votes from both cheeks of the Uniparty....roll on the Welsh and Scottish elections next year, looks like Reform will win the Senedd, they might be the third biggest party in Holyrood too.

Surely you`re not advocating voting for a rich oaf like Garage, Bletchley? Regardless of where you sit on the political spectrum, it is clear as day that he`s a complete conman. He doesn`t give a **** about John in Middlesbrough anymore than Starmer does.
Voting for Reform in a local election and expecting change is largely pointless. All you`re going to get is an even bigger group of numpties controlling council budgets.
The Scottish election would be slightly different as MSPs have control over devolved matters like health and education. Sadly, I anticipate a Lab-Lib coalition, which is the equivalent of tweedle dee and tweedle dum. Unfortunately, like in England it`s a case of "least worst" rather than "best".

Hopefully Reform will see how england needs it`s independence from the rest of the UK, and start encouraging them to break away from us.
Unfortunately I think the people in england are probably aware that they can`t survive without Scotland propping them up

Thank god I don’t live in England anymore. Especially next to Runcorn……
Not a chance that Reform will become 3rd biggest in Scotland 😂 there may be some thick people up this end, but nowhere near that many.
Farage has led the people down the country path with Brexit, its only going to get worse now down there. I feel sorry for those with an ethnic minority background.

Next election.
The UK will vote Reform & get the Government it deserves.
It will be chaos.

Starmer has destroyed the UK since appointed and that wee skanky ned of a woman as his sidekick is vile.
I would hate to live down south especially in the populated areas and with all the illegal immigrants getting put up in hotels and all loitering about. Ireland is worse after seeing Dublins city centre where they are swarmed with illegals. I won’t be back tbh.
All of us that work are paying for this through our taxes etc so where does it end?
Give 5 years and the country will be in turmoil and way overpopulated but hey let’s welcome in every person and give them free NHS etc… And before anyone starts the immigrants living in the hotels get doctors to visit them when unwell..why is that when I phoned up and have to wait 5 days to get an appointment for my daughter.
If Starmers destroyed the country then what on earth did the Tories do for 14 years previously?

Well you tell me Dave what Starmer has done since he came into power??
Apart from taxing us working, mortgages gone up and if you say anything against migrants you are classed as a islamaphobic….this country is wrecked.
Every government taxes the working class, thats nothing new…….mortgages have been rising for years and years and years…….my mums house was about £35k when she purchased it, its now worth about £200k…….so again; nothing new.
There is also a huge difference between discussing migrants and being openly racist (not saying you are by any stretch).
The rise in Reform will be an absolute catastrophe for this country. But this is what people want, just like Brexit - a wholehearted success….oh no wait, a disaster that Farage has distanced himself from.

Not sure where that`s come from. I don`t declare to be either of those things.
If we want to share observations, I`m yet to see you ever answer a question properly. Let`s see if we can change that:
Do you support Reform UK?

I`m not sure what conditions in Dublin have to do with elections in the UK either.
A day like yesterday just emphasises for me the political difference between Scotland and England and the disadvantage of being in a union with it. Farage seems confident his support in Scotland is growing and proportional representation in the Holyrood election will help his party win seats, but no right wing party has won an election here for 70-odd years so I think his success will be limited. The thought of Farage as PM is scary but then so was the thought of Trump as POTUS.

What`s happening in Ireland is an example of what can and is happening in the UK. It`s not right wing to oppose this sort of migration. However, the solution isn`t voting for idiots like Farage`s lot. They`ll talk a good game but deliver NOTHING. Take a look at their pledges on immigration and you`ll notice two things:
1. Simple language with no detail on HOW they`ll achieve the pledges
2. Contradictions (we`ll detain all illegal immigrants and also stop them claiming benefits. How can someone detained claim benefits?! They won`t allow people in foriegners in to work except in Health but then say they`d apply extra tax on foreign workers apart from health. So additional tax on people they`re not allowing in?).

Were the folk voting for Reform yesterday the same ones who voted for Brexit and are unhappy with the outcome? Of course Farage says if he`d been in charge he`d have negotiated a better deal with the EU.

Possibly. Again, they`re voting for something else rather than the policies. I genuinely don`t know who I`ll vote for in the Scottish elections as they`re all bloody awful. I`m hoping we might get a decent independent in Dunfermline. Maybe one that will fight for progress in Dunfermline beyond house building and warehouses.

So if you do oppose that type of migration who do you vote for Jake? What are the solutions? I`ll never vote for Reform as they won`t press my interests as a working man and immigration isn`t near the top of my concerns. I do appreciate though that living in Scotland my community isn`t under the same pressure from immigration that parts of England are.
Wee Eck, more than a third of Scots voted for Brexit, that`s more than voted for the SNP at the last election. Plenty of Scots have a right of centre leaning, either economically or socially.
And although my eyes were open
They just might as well be closed

TOWK, more than a third isn`t a majority and, as I said, no right-leaning party has won an election here since the 1950s.
I believe Reform favour proportional representation but that may change now if they sense blood under FPTP!

I don`t oppose migration where it`s legitimate (coming to work or escaping war). The issues are well reported but my point would be it`s VERY difficult to resolve properly and what Reform propose makes little sense and is overly simplistic.
"Who do you vote for" is THE question. As I said, it`s a real struggle. In the last election I went Labour, which I now regret given how Downie has been voting. But what`s the alternative? SNP? Lib Dem?
It`s worse for the Scottish elections.
