Ah the “WEF” the latest boogeyman that means absolutely nothing. Did enjoy Farage promising to “end the UK’s membership” though. Of something that no countries are a member of. Shows what he thinks of reform voters really, that he knows he can just blatantly lie and they won’t care.
Seems like Labour faced a lot of hostility over their appalling stance on Isreal - Palestine. Jonathan Ashworth lost to an independent, his vote pretty much halved. Starmer himself dropped from 36,000 votes to 18,000. Over 7,000 went to Andrew Feinstein, a Jewish pro-Palestine independent. Not sure how Starmer managed to lose another 10,000 plus votes. Streeting & Jess Phillips only just clung on to their seats. 4 independents won. Obviously Corbyn was one but they won 3 more seats too. Brilliant to see that people won’t put up with Labour defending the indefensible & hopefully a sign that they won’t get away with following the US into wars / supporting wars like they did under Blair.
5 out with 2 to declare.... Think I might play the lottery for a change. A bizarre set of results though and despite a huge majority its incredibly fragile. 5 years to make a difference in a lot of regions, otherwise, I really don't want to think what 2029 could bring.
