Now just imagine these idiots running an actual country. They would make any scandal seen so far look like a walk in the park.
No surprise there, not only reform uk are incompetent, with NF at the top, they are also the most corrupted too.
I thought about buying a Porsche this morning. I didn’t so I have a net saving of 120k just for today.
At this rate by the end of the week I’ll be able to decide against buying a mansion.
Nigel: Appointing Mandy is a great idea
Nigel: Starmer must go for appointing Mandy
Nigel: Boris is the man to get Brexit done
Nigel: Boris messed up Brexit
Nigel: Brexit will usher in economic growth and prosperity
Nigel: Nigel? Nigel?
Nigel: I’m a Fisherman’s friend
Nigel: ( tumble weed)
Do we see a pattern here?
So they have been caught blatantly lying about their achievements… And will face no negative repercussions.
I assume farage will of course demand resignations from these councillors for fabricating accounts?
I still find it mad that people voted for reform in local elections based on immigration. Do we know if reform has managed to close asylum hotels in Kent? I can’t seem to find an article saying they have.
Of course savings were made up. It was fantasy.
There were “[no substantial savings](https://www.gbnews.com/money/reform-elon-musk-doge-failed-savings)” (I’m intentionally linking a deferential source)
>Mr Yusuf, who launched the Dolge initiative last summer, previously claimed that “waste and in some cases corruption” within councils was “off the charts”.
>Kent County Council was singled out at the time, with Mr Yusuf accusing officials of having their “snouts in the trough for too long”.
>Those claims now appear difficult to reconcile with the conclusions reached by Reform’s own councillors overseeing the authority’s finances
> He said: “There just weren’t big cuts to make, because services had already been hacked away for years and years.”
As with Musk’s doge, I’m sure there was other value to be derived in the data exercise. Just not for citizens.
Musk promised trillions in doge $ savings. Then claimed $214 billion. Then $30 billion by [exaggerating /making](https://edition.cnn.com/2025/02/19/politics/doge-canceled-contracts-8-billion-invs/index.html) up figures.
Its not clear what they were [actually doing](https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2025/dec/30/elon-musk-doge-impact-us-government).
> When Musk’s former Doge aide Katie Miller asked the Tesla CEO this month how he assessed Doge’s accomplishments, Musk gave a toned-down response compared with his usual declarations of total victory and unlimited growth.
>”We were a little bit successful. We were somewhat successful,” Musk told Miller on her podcast, adding that it was his “best side quest”. When Miller asked whether he would go back and do it all over again, Musk was even less confident.
“I mean, no, I don’t think so,” Musk said. “Would I do it? I mean, I probably … I don’t know.”
