Why is it that, were this a Reform Councillor, it would have been front page news and BBC headlines?
48 hours in and still nothing from @BBCLancashire on the resignation of Green Party Lancashire county cllr Sohail Asghar after he was arrested on suspicion of modern slavery. Clearly the BBC don't deem this newsworthy - presumably because he's not Reform? & still not a peep

All men.
This week, 1,360 undocumented illegals have entered the UK via 22 dinghies. Next week we will be reading about more rapes of British women and children

Labour will cancel the 2029 general won’t they?
Delaying a General Election would seriously endanger public peace.

My nephew is visiting from Australia and I’ve just discovered he was on Bondi beach when the shooting started. He had to spend 2 hours locked in a coffee shop until it was safe to leave. Brought the reality of Islamist terrorism very close to home. #bondibeach

, @TalkTV @mrmarkdolan Anyone saying Reform and Conservative Party should merge needs give their head a wobble! The Tory party will be an insignificance after May and that’s why they want to cancel elections. Nadine Dorries was a mistake but real conservatives should be welcome.

This. 100% this ⬇️
There's a line in a democracy that, once crossed, changes everything: when elections cease to be an obligation and become a variable. That line has now been crossed in Britain, and it's the state's own elections watchdog saying so. The Electoral Commission has been explicit:

In the UK, elections have only ever been cancelled once and that was during wartime. They were cancelled with cross-party consent. For a Labour government to cancel council elections they’re going to lose is a national disgrace. For Tory councils to agree is outrageous.

🚨 The Tories lied. Again. They stood in front of the country and said they would not support cancelling May’s elections. Now their own councils are doing exactly that, cancelling elections to hang on to their seats. And the response from the Tory leadership? “Oh well, it’s

This bloke 👇 keeps popping up on my feed. Talks a lot of sense. And he’s right on democracy requiring timely elections.
Strongly agree with Sir Jacob Rees-Mogg here. Any Tory councillor who votes in favour to delay elections is unprincipled, not a conservative and should lose the whip. Well said @Jacob_Rees_Mogg 👏🏽

Cancelling elections is what dictators and cowards do.
🚨 NEW: The Electoral Commission has criticised the Government for proposing to delay 63 Council elections in May next year It says the elections should go ahead as planned and that capacity issues linked to local government reform are not a valid reason for postponement

Oh dear oh dear - gross tactical error by @KemiBadenoch
🚨Sir Jacob Rees-Mogg calls for the whip to be removed from election denying Tory Cllr’s! 🗳️❌ After weak Kemi Badenoch saying she’ll allow Tory councils to decide whether or not to save their own skins, the honourable JRM takes a stand. Do you agree with Kemi or Sir JRM? 🤷🏻♂️

Wow, now a Tory peer is attacking the Electoral Commission for calling out Tory and Labour politicians and saying there’s no good reason to cancel elections again! These arrogant fossils will soon be cleared out from office. Let the people vote!

LABOUR are doing what tyrants always do: accuse others of things they’re the most guilty of. It’s projection. Shout fascism every two minutes yet… Cancel elections Cancel jury trials Digital ID Jail wrongthink We all know this is a common trait with the Left.

If Conservative councils think cancelling elections in May is a good idea they must be mad. Voter anger is only increasing. The kicking they will give the Tories when they finally get the chance will be off the charts.
Tory-controlled county councils look set to collude with Labour to cancel next year’s May elections. Only banana republics cancel elections. 👉 https://t.co/b2iRJEUxOB

My post from 12 months ago is becoming more prothetic by the day! 👇
I’ve never been so concerned for the future of the UK and the wellbeing of its citizens! Every Government decision feels sinister and inexplicable unless we see them as a deliberate attempt to demoralise & control the public. Neither this government nor their Tory predecessors

I woke up to the horrific slaughter of 15 Jews in Bondi Beach by Muslim immigrants. Stop telling me we need to fight "Radical Islam." There is only ONE Islam. The difference? The "radical" Muslim kills you. The "moderate" Muslim watches and smiles. It is time to stop worrying

▪️Mandatory digital ID ▪️Scrapping jury trials ▪️Postponing elections ▪️Record tax burden ▪️Fibbing about government finances ▪️Surveillance ▪️Facial recognition ▪️Suspending Labour MPs who vote against the government. This is not ‘centrist’. It’s authoritarian extremism.
