@TRACYMOORE66 @Mexico1978R I’m sorry this has got to stop this country is becoming a joke instead of worrying about vapes and climate change get our borders sorted the illegal immigrants out and order restored. Even if it means sacking half the civil service something has to be done and now

@Nakir9699 @NikkiJude That’s nice what about the rest of the city

@tappa20 @NikkiJude Seaburn and Roker areas much improved over the last few years.

Not lived in Sunlun since I left in '87 as, at the time, the town was dead - destroyed by Thatcher. There was no hope. I now come back every couple weeks and how the now city has transformed over the last 5 years has been incredible n so good to see. The pride is back...

@lembitopik Because no one else will employ him

Why does Keir Starmer want to remain in a job he clearly isn’t able to do?

@zoester73 Chester

Where am I? 🤔

@koshercockney With hair like that it explains everything

“Zionists, step to me, I’ll fuck you up, maybe even kill you. Because you deserve to die. Fuck Israel and Fuck the US” Palestinianism is a mental disease. These people are fucking nuts.

@The_Craft7 Maybe it’s you that is clueless Sunderland have had a enough of Labour and want real change, man up and take the defeat

Everyone who voted Reform in Sunderland are clueless how dare you vote Labour out when we’ve got lots of empty new buildings 😂😂😂😂😂

@humphriezz Real change for my city

If you voted reform UK yesterday can you explain the reason for giving them your vote? Not looking to argue I’m just really curious

Just ignoring labour completely decimating Sunderland for the last 30 year though aye ? A few new buildings and pubs don't make up for years of absolute shite. City centre is still a shit hole with just some nice bits scattered about. The Bridges is a fucking joke as well

@_JakeC91 You poor sad bas****

Someone has genuinely voted for Reform in the local elections, because they believe that Reform can bring back Woolworths & Wilkinsons to the city centre.

@McardleTrevor Only if you are a anti brexiteer

The general consensus is that areas that voted Brexit are much more likely to be voting Reform & this proves that: Stupidity is for life, not just for Brexit

@nazirafzal Labour did pretty good at that as well

The Tax Avoiding Rich Leaders of Reform have convinced the poorest people in Britain that it’s other poor people -the young, the sick, the disabled, those on welfare & migrants -who are responsible for why they’re not as Rich as the Tax Avoiding Leaders of Reform #LocalElection

@staggystaggio So people don’t agree with you so they are wrong typical socialist

What on earth are South Tyneside playing at electing Reform to run their council? With concern, Staggy

@DrRitaDed With hair like that I wouldn’t want you as my child

Just found out my parents in the UK voted Reform. Needless to say, I no longer have parents.

@frlydensmith Yes and many more of Sunderland has had enough

The election of Reform to control #Sunderland Council leaves many of us uneasy — not because democracy has spoken, but because governing is a huge responsibility, especially in a city growing in confidence and hope. The experience of Reform led Durham council has shown how quickly trust can fray when leadership lacks experience or steadiness. There have been many councillors resignations, suspensions and chaos. I hope this won’t be true in our city as in #Durham. Yet democracy asks more of us than complaint. It asks generosity too. For the sake of Sunderland, I can only hope they govern wisely, listen carefully with open hearts, especially to the many vulnerable people in our city, and prove equal to the dignity of the city they now serve. Congratulations and prayers to all those elected, and a very big thank you to all those who have served Sunderland faithfully.

@staggystaggio That’s an excellent statement with so much research, after 50 years of Labour control I don’t think reform will put things right in 12 hours

Sunderland which was undergoing some much needed regeneration has fallen to Reform UK. They’re heading backwards again. Regards, Staggy

@carryonkeith I think it’s the best thing ever and I’ve lived in Sunderland through the whole Labour control

Oh Sunderland, what have you done? Such progress over recent years, and now in peril.

@bphillipsonMP Your next out

These have been a very difficult set of elections. I’ve felt that in Sunderland. But the answer is not to turn inwards. It’s to take responsibility, come together & face up to the challenges ahead. Keir has won before, he can win again. We need to deliver change, not chaos.

@JackWDart Labour was rejected by 70% of the electorate in the last election and they are terminal now

Reform UK were rejected by more than 70% of voters yesterday, and the media is treating the result as terminal for Labour while almost entirely ignoring the fact that most people said no to the hatred, the division and the bigotry. That is the actual story.

Please please please stop this Labour drivel feeds

@BWallArthur I agree that’s why I didn’t vote Labour

You ain't a British patriot if you're voting for a party who's leaders are owned by foreign billionaires and who dodge British taxes. This should just objectively be a fact
