I truly hope the next 2 years will help people to finally see Reform’s true colours and utter incompetence…hope…
They don’t want journalists scrutinising them, because they’re well aware of what may be found.
I didn’t vote for Reform, but I respect that they’ve won. However, I would like to know what their plans are now that they’ve got this council (as a resident). Looks like they either don’t have anything or they don’t want to say anything and face scrutiny.
>When approached by us on results day, a newly elected Reform councillor told us they wanted to engage with this publication but had been told they could not, and that they were only permitted to speak to GB News.
They probably know that most of the national media will continue to give them an easy ride.
Pretty sure they’re on instruction that they can only talk to reporters from GB News, Telegraph, Express and Daily Mail.
They’re going to claim everyone but gb news is lying.
And their suckers will believe it
They also passed a vote in another council to waste time and sing the National anthem.
The are so american its disgusting as i wouldnt consider american politics a role model right now.
Saw an interesting graphic yesterday – Reform’s council holdings now equate to 3.6% of Council Seats in the U.K.. That’s all. Whilst I understand that they took a lot from what was available, it’s still fuck all in the grand scheme of things.
Unfortunately loads of their fans will love this because they’ve had their brains cooked to believe all journalism is inherently evil lying propaganda
The media owners want Farage.
He gave them Brexit – which enabled them to escape the tax avoidance the EU were pushing.
Now they are going after worker rights and our welfare system.
Ah, once again the party that screams about *free speech* shuts down any questions from a journalist. Typical hypocrisy from deform.
It seems that Reform has realised that it’s politicians are generally fuckwits who can’t talk for more than thirty seconds without managing to get their feet in their mouths. Give it three weeks and they’ll be falling over themselves to talk to news outlets because their egos won’t let them go unheard.
Perhaps this is where journalism can start to provide effective insight, by researching effectively and holding people to account.
We need to remember that Reform are essentially weaponising stupidity. Anyone expecting rational thinking, or ‘cause and effect’ awareness from Reform voters are themselves dumber than Reform voters.
None of these Reform voters will make the connection between the actions of their Reform councillors and their deteriorating quality of life, nor recognise the blatant corruption of these people, even if it’s is spelled out in simple language.
These people thrive on the propaganda of their right wing social media as it massages their powerlessness/hate into flattery of being ‘smart’ when everyone has told them they are stupid.
Remember, Trump still has nearly 40% approval rating despite widespread negative impact of even MAGA voters.
Weaponising ignorance is incredibly powerful and it is *not* neutralised by logic and reason.
Them winning more seats in the long run is good to see. Like the BNP 20 or so years ago, they won a load of councils. The more you see them in positions, the more you see how shit they are.
It’s obvious that they need to control the narrative, and talk with on aligned entities make it an issue to crate the desired narrative.
People who voted for cunts surprised to find out they are cunts
They’ll probably realise too late, that while they don’t ‘need’ them per-se, they would probably find it works better for them if they are, figuratively on the inside, pissing outwards, rather than vice versa
It’s not a case of Reform ‘needing’ the media or not, but it’s the public’s right to be able to have a transparent view of what is going on with democracy!
Unreal. So they can just post their utter bullshit and spread more lies.
This is something the media should be absolutely destroying a party over.
“When approached by us on results day, a newly elected Reform councillor told us they wanted to engage with this publication but had been told they could not, and that they were only permitted to speak to GB News.”
Shocked I tell you, shocked. You won’t hear anything from a reform council now unless it goes through GB News.
so the people of that area voted for an unaccountable elite?
Really sticking it to the man there! well done peeps. This is just a preview of what’s coming if they get in.
