As Richard Tice says, Reform have identified £300m of savings from councils they run. This remarkable feat has been achieved by plucking that figure out of thin air while increasing council tax by 5%.

There were 93 homicides in London last year: population 9 million
In New York - population 8.5 million - there were
391.
London's homicide figure is 6 times lower than LA, 9 times lower than Miami, 17 times lower than Chicago.
And it's falling year on year despite the population increasing

If only they put this much effort into job hunting.
Norfolk Police has had a regular presence at the Brook Hotel in Bowthorpe, Norwich since the summer – used to house migrants
That’s numerous police officers that can’t protect neighbourhoods, high streets, investigate crimes, hunt criminals etc because they’re tied up by flag shagging morons❗️ 🤷🏼♂️

That is categorically NOT true.
Please call people out when they claim this.

Hopefully, the media will take a leaf out of the PM's book and not interfere with our democracy.

On a more serious note: British politics have been in crisis mode for ten years and this is a real problem whatever your politics. It undermines trust in government and democracy, fuels populism, and makes the UK an unstable partner at a time when the geopolitical situation is very dangerous.
The important story behind this story is that someone in Downing Street is having a breakdown:

Oddly enough despite the ‘toxicity’ alleged in Downing Street, Labour continue to deliver time and again every single day. These 11 are all announcements from this week.

And now the story has legs, the same media are running with it as if it is a fact. No testing the validity. No searching for the antecedents. Juat sensationalism to undermine the government and our democracy.
So this is interesting from Robert Peston.
The claims of people inside No 10 briefing the press about the PM fighting for his leadership appear to be wrong.
As I speculated this morning, it appears to have been nothing more but a response to a question from a journalist!

The right-wing media have persuaded people that the dire state the country is in after 14 years of chaos can be fixed overnight. The drive-thru myth that this government could get it done as quickly as a fast-food meal is just that, a myth.
I cannot fathom how any one person would prefer Farage and his incompetents over Starmer and his very competent government.
They have met, or are on course to meet, 58 of their Manifesto commitments.
And they’re only 16 months into their term.

Crisis in Reform run Kent County Council
The PM was asked about this at PMQs today.
He did not shy away from calling out Reform, reminding us Kent was supposed to be the Reform blueprint for how they'd run the country.
But all Reform have to offer is grievance, division and incompetence!

This is so on point. Any expression of discord - no scratch that! Anything other than. sychophantic adoration for the leader of the "Free World" would most definitely lead to detention at point of entry. Their tourism trade must be suffering as folk calculate it's not worth it.

It's sad that the non-Reform voters of Kent are suffering from their ineptitude. They didn't seize power, they were elected by people whose hatred for "others" means more to them than an effective and functioning council.
So funny Reform promised to get a grip on Kent County Council spending & find savings, they had their crap (oops crack) DOGE team in
Instead they’re currently 3% (£46 mill) over budget & asked the opposition to help them 🙄
Not funny is adult social care will be hit because of their clown act❗️🤡🤡
