This is Reform's plan for the whole of Greater Derby. Ashbourne will be a cesspool of knife crime and social breakdown.
Concerns have been raised about putting a knife amnesty collection box in the city centre.

I don't think Labour realises how easily 16-year-olds can be swayed by a single issue in the final days of an election. Nor the disruption this will cause during the final weeks of GCSE preparation. It'll certainly make the next GE an interesting one to watch.

Derbyshire County Council. Literally MINUTES after the end of Wednesday's council meeting, its Managing Director HAS QUIT !!! 😱. Insiders have said, "This is only the beginning of the exodus. Good luck to Reform trying to run a billion-pound business without senior staff."

Derbyshire County Council. The Reform Party has replaced (sacked) Councillor Charlotte Gates from her role overseeing special educational needs in the county. Councillor Gates works as a special needs teacher, and her departure follows vocal interventions by Farage on SEND.

Here's an idea @CllrAlanG.
Another one. Reform UK councillor in Doncaster resigns two months after winning seat, by-election expected.

Jeremy has perfected the art of milking every last drop of cortisol from the brains of social media users.
Today marks 20 years since the 7/7 London bombings. We remember the 52 people who were killed & many hundreds who were injured, and pay tribute to emergency service workers who risked their lives to help others. I will never forget how communities of all faiths came together.

The lesson of Musk's involvement with Trump is that the assertion of managerial efficiency lacks a rational basis, and is similar in its assumptions to those of religious morality.

Driving up the M40 this morning, I didn't see much evidence that footballers are moderating their speed. Still, you're only young once! 🤣💀💀.

Radio 4 making a fuss about AI-generated music, supposedly because it has the whiff of plagiarism. Whereas no one seems to have made the argument about emotivism yet. Perhaps that would raise too many difficulties, questioning the authenticity rather than their originality.

I can't see many Ashbourne residents happy at becoming part of Mordor. Looks like a mistake by Reform.
NEW. A potential local government reorganisation option put forward by Reform at Derbyshire County Council would see a north/south split which would split both the Dales and Amber Valley

This morning is the first time I've seen Doug Lemov in the flesh. He's obvs shilling for a CPD company at the Festival of Education, but I'm still rather excited.

A Derbyshire councillor claims Reform only wanted the “electoral victory” of winning Derbyshire County Council but not the “prize” of running it, having cancelled five meetings.

. the person sat next to us was about to explode. And yet they are presented to children as if they had existed for centuries, and are more important to their nation than other possible collections of virtues, which have a greater claim to represent the British character.
