Chart of seats up for election and how many were gained and lost by party.

As the remaining council votes start slowing down, we see that the greatest growth and numbers go to Reform council members, but the Green Party have gained significant ground.

Meanwhile, Labour have lost over half of the seats up for election this May.

    That’s pretty much Reform’s whole schtick. Yell about immigration until people believe it’s a problem and they can fix it.

    Meanwhile, they’ll probably pocket all the money and beat their wives rather than actually fix anything or do their jobs.

      You think they have wives? I got the impression that most were like societies rejects in it for true believer, and racist, or just grifters. The old cliché of wife homemaker is more a Tory thing, I thought. Who knows? It’s not like they are vetting the candidates, so how could I?
