REFORM WATCH:

Reform Leader of Warwickshire County Council has written to the Education Secretary asking that maximum walking distances to school be increased to 5 miles for over 8's (and 3 miles for younger children), in order to save money on the school transport budget!

Nigel Farage has refused to criticise Trump’s claims that paracetamol could cause autism, saying science is never settled and he would never side with medical experts.

The Reform UK leader said he had “no idea” if Trump was right

Farage is so far up Trump’s bum he can see JD Vance’s feet!

While the inevitability doesn’t surprise sadly, the speed of the fracture does. Looks like there’s now going to be a Sultana’s ‘My Bit of Your Party Party’ and Corbyn’s ‘It’s Your Party if You Can Find it Party’.

It’s tough enough being a liberal in these times, a socialist seems harder

I’ve lived in Great Yarmouth and Rupert Lowe, who was elected as a Reform MP before getting kicked out seems the perfect representation of it, - all seems nice, fluffy and bright on the front but go a little deeper and it’s grubby, nasty and more than a little scary.

I now live in an area where I have a LibDem MP (Hi Caroline) and a LibDem local councillor and council (Hi Lee) and now a LibDem county councillor (Hi Louise).

Now, when i watch Reform struggle, screw it all up and then split into increasingly small factions it can be at a distance
