God forbid that Farage and his cronies get anywhere near Downing Street.

To be honest, I can quite see why Andrea needs more, if she's as good at composing emails as she is at singing, she needs all the help that she can get and let's face it, kids aren't cheap to employ these days.

A dose of verbosity which exposes Reform fantasies, gives us the reality and entertains with big dollops of feline humour ( a saucer of milk for table 2 perhaps) is soothing medicine for this household. Thank you Bear

Thank you Bear, I’m so disappointed this useless ghastly woman is my mayor. The one glimmer of hope from all of the excessive over the top biased reporting that Reform plc get, is that we still have (theoretically) enough time for all of their councils to so spectacularly fuck things up before the next GE, making them unelectable.

Reform gone pretty silent very recently over free speech. It was one of their American import flagships - "put in jail for a Tweet"??? FREE SPEECH!!!

But like most American imports, what can fly freely on the highways and byways of a massive continent turns out to be ungainly and ludicrous in little ol' UK.

And the problem is that all of these imports don't come with instructions. So as America pivots easily under Trump from "free speech for all" to "free speech for me, not for thee", and media outlets are being threatened with losing their licence for saying rude things about Dear Leader, Reform are left embarrassed, holding the dead husk of a policy without the nous to know what to do with it. I guess Farage is looking for another far-right conference he can blag his way ito for a substantial speech fee.

Reform ‘stunts’.

That second word should IMHO be replaced by another shorter one that rhymes.

And dear Andrea could simply put out of office with a message reading ‘I don’t care what your enquiry is and anyway I’d fuck it up if I did’.

I'll bet she's spending half that money on employing someone to create a custom emoji with her face and a middle finger pointing up. Then all of her email replies can be totally automated.

A party of lies and soundbites. A bunch of grifters who shout the loudest. They need to be exposed time and time again. We need proper journalists, push them, expose them for who and what they are!

I have the misfortune to be a Lincolnshire resident, is there anyone out there who can save us from this warbling wanabee Xfactor reject?

And that is the real question.

Which mainstream politician will take the fight to Reform UK, rather than pandering to their divisive, knuckle-dragging propaganda.

On current form, we're f*cked.

1 - You couldn't make it up.

2 - They really, REALLY think we're stupid.

Seriously. What a world we live in.

Let's give Andrea's request the response it deserves and she is most familiar with 🖕

This really needs to be shown on the news, again and again. I had hoped the inability and inexperience of reform councillors would show potential voters how inept a reform government would be. Will they care though? Or will their racism win?

I hope this article goes viral. I'll do my best to launch it on its trajectory.
