      >A 29-year-old man, a 51-year-old woman, and a 55-year-old man were arrested on suspicion of offences including slavery, servitude and forced or compulsory labour, with one also suspected of making threats to kill.

      Holy fuck

      Uber?

      Either way, we don’t need people bringing this practice over to our country any more than it already is, and fair play to the police for making arrests.

      I would expect more distancing from the Green Party however.

      At some point people will understand that the political party doesn’t matter.

      Anyone that chases power does not deserve power.

      Had a look at the results of this seat, in 2021 the Green Party got 6% of the vote, then they took the seat in 2025 with 30% of the vote. Odds are this guy got put forward as a paper candidate and didn’t expect to win. In the next set of local elections, all the local parties need to vet their candidates much more carefully as we have no idea who might or might not win.

      Cllr Sohail Asghar resigned the Green Party whip but remains in office as an independent councillor. Mr Asghar should do the right thing and resign from public office, the allegations are too serious to dismiss and be put aside.

      I would never vote green anyway but another reason to add to the list

      Way worse than anything a reform councillor has ever done. Let’s see if this case gets brought up as much as reform councillors doing dodgy stuff does on this sub

      From the article.

      “Green Party figures confirmed the move but declined to give further details.

      Group leader Cllr Gina Dowding said Asghar had relinquished the whip while an investigation was under way, while Hyndburn Green Party vice-chair Joan West described the decision as being for “personal reasons”.”

      Fair comment from Gina Dowding.

      As for Vice Chair Joan West, fuck off Joan. Being arrested on suspicion of “Modern Slavery” isn’t a personal reason.

      This is what would happen if the Greens got into any sort of power nationally …the scandals would be off the charts

      Bigger charlatans and liars than Farage

      Going by the Reform Russia precedent I assume this means I can now call the entire Green party slavers?

      If anybody’s wondering if Reform have an army of people trying to influence you via social media, just look at how many comments are mentioning Reform on this post within half an hour if it being posted.

      I bet he has zero interest in the environment.

      Just an opportunist piece of sh1t.

      That explains why they are against nuclear.

      Slaves don’t need electricity to run.

      The rot runs deep but we’re not mature enough to have difficult conversations about expectations and standards.
