@DavidHu05137188 @but_cyclists @IslingtonResid3 @Malcolm744 Duh, roads are paid for through general taxation in the UK. Cyclist on £250k would pay more tax.

Apparently car drivers pay more tax than cyclists. How exactly does this work if a car driver occasionally rides a bicycle? Does the amount of tax they pay change each time they switch transport mode?

@reformexposed @TiceRichard Addams family day out.

Hi @TiceRichard, here you are pictured with your new councillor for Fallings Park, Wolverhampton - Stu Goldsmith. He’s using his Security Industry Authority membership card whilst doing political campaigning and wearing the uniform of his employer. It's very clear you must not wear that badge unless in employment in that role and that anyone wearing the badge must be impartial. Otherwise it’s a sackable offence. This means he was either lying about being on SIA duty or he was campaigning while wearing an SIA card.

If both Labour and The Lib Dems were to announce they are adopting a rejoin the EU policy, they would form the next Government, as a Coalition.

@hegantank @ElectionMapsUK Good

@ElectionMapsUK reform lost that one labour ward in crawley by one vote

@BrunoBulletin @mehdirhasan

@mehdirhasan London crime rates have tripled every single year since Khan took over and the BBC refuses to publish the actual statistics. Look at what the data really shows.

It will never not be remarkable that a popular Muslim social democrat has been leading the West’s greatest city for the past *decade*, re-elected twice.

@reformparty_uk No we don’t

Two years ago Reform UK had fewer than 30 councillors. Today we have 2,438 councillors. Britain wants Reform. 🇬🇧

@LeeAndersonMP_ Here you go 30p Lee

Why did Labour & the Tories try and cancel the local elections. For the hard of understanding 👇 VOTES CAST IN ENGLAND, SCOTLAND AND WALES RFM - 3,825,559 LAB - 2,854,352 CON - 2,669,816 GRN - 2,319,190 LDM - 2,075,538

@Millyhog136068 @ZiaYusufUK @libdems smashing Reform Tories

@ZiaYusufUK Biggest success? Really 😂

Extraordinary to see the whole media ecology (which did its best to try and kill Reform) and the failed uniparty respond to our success by calling our voters racist bigots. Am sure that strategy will work this time 😂

@DonnellyCh92847 @dave43law They got about 23%

@dave43law is that why they are getting so many votes, Brexit got twice the number of votes of this labour government

They are just the Brexit Party Reform claim they’re now a national party – here’s why that isn’t true thelondoneconomic.com/politics/refor…

@dailybritainonx Yes

Would you?

@oro7777777 @jdpoc Here you go.

@jdpoc You should probably verify info posted elsewhere before you post it, as it makes you look silly posting incorrect info

Posted elsewhere, posted here for info. The map of Reform Councils in the UK. So much for 'WE'VE TAKEN OVER THE NATION !!!"

Reform election gains show historic shift in British politics, party leader Nigel Farage says bbc.in/4d7W1fq

@PippaCrerar Stop talking shite Pippa

🚨A crushing set of elections for Labour, with Reform UK making huge gains across the country and Greens winning in London. Keir Starmer is under pressure to announce a timeline for departure – but insists he will not walk away. Our latest podcast 👇 theguardian.com/politics/audio…

@AudreyTatton @SophyRidgeSky @NormanBrennan

@SophyRidgeSky @NormanBrennan Sophie don't dilute the reason people are voting for Reform We want change, stop eradicating our worth, ournvalues, our safety, our heritage and the money we've worked hard to acquire

Just finished a seven hour presenting stint Seismic doesn’t cut it. A Reform surge, a splintering of two party politics, a redrawing of the map The thing uniting the disparate threads of a disunited kingdom? A vote that was two fingers up to politicians

@Cherryopenmind @SophyRidgeSky This

As of today 154 UK Councils are led by Labour, 12 led by Reform. Can anyone at the BBC or Sky or the UK media generally explain the support, coverage and platforming of this shoddy little Reform. Why do you do it?

Based on the results now declared, this is how the UK local/principle councils look: 1 Labour 5,063 seats 2 Conservative 3,734 seats 3 Liberal Democrats 3,261 seats 4 Reform UK 1,921 seats 5 Green Party 1,133 seats 6 Scottish National Party (SNP) 413 seats

@KemiBadenoch Where?

Across the country the Conservatives are coming back.

Less than five hours after he was elected the first Reform councilor has had to stand down after revelations of 'electoral irregularities' are discovered.

@KemiBadenoch Fair point and great deflection!

I know everyone is poring over election results, but let’s not forget… Today is VE Day. It’s still living memory and being able to have elections is one of the freedoms fought for. That freedom was bought by men and women who served our country. Even now our veterans need defending. The battles are different…like stopping brave veterans being dragged through the courts for vexatious claims in their old age. Conservatives continue to fight. Just yesterday, the Supreme Court reinstated immunities after my Shadow Attorney General, Lord Wolfson stepped in, acted pro bono for veterans, and won. We’re the only party doing the work. On VE Day, we remember their sacrifice. But remembrance is not enough. We should also honour our veterans by looking after them and defending them in Parliament, in the courts just as they defended us.
