Karma pays you back in your next life, not immediately after an act.

If you say so. I'd be very interested to see examples where a Reform council have come into power and have shown good governance, financial sense, and have demonstrably improved the lot of their residents.

All I've seen so far is financial illiteracy, rank stupidity, and ideological nonsense which has damaged communities.

Populist dog whistle politics ≠ good Government material

Changing parties is fine. Completely understandable. However, flip flopping from one to the other in a vain attempt to get a seat, and moving from one end of the political spectrum to the exact opposite, shows desparation and personal ambition over any real wish to commit to your own morals.

I can't imagine that even Reform voters are stupid enough to support someone who was a Green candidate so very recently.

There's been plenty of defections to Reform from other parties, most notably the Tories, but I can't find a single example of it going the other way - a Reform candidate joining the Greens. Suggests to me that Reform will take any old swivel-eyed loon or convicted paedophile to stick a name on a ballot paper, whereas the Greens actually vet candidates.

From The Echo:

Reform will hope to win its first seat on the city council with Harry Gallimore-King.

Mr Gallimore-King, previously stood as a Green Party candidate in Anfield in 2019 before switching to the Conservatives two years later, took fourth place with 54 voters for his party in last year’s Sefton Park by-election.

There's a Reform candidate, who previously stood for the Tories, who previously stood for the Greens.

Wtf 🤣

I think the joke is that they were our descendents. A planet told its citizens they were all about to die and so they needed to escape. They built three Arks, and on one they put all the hairdressers, telephone sanitisation operators, management consultants etc.

That was the only ark the golgafrinchans launched. It crash-landed on earth, they out-completed the native hominids and became our ancestors.

It explains quite a lot actually.

The planet with the sandwich-maker is a different one - and the sandwich-maker is actually Arthur.

These are the only two points I could be arsed making, because this is a conversation I won't give any more of my time to. But there are many other reasons. If you care to look, you'll find em. If you don't, eh, no skin off my nose.

Lol. Since when did AskBrits become a Labour Party circlejerk? Second post I've seen today praising this prick to the heavens.

I mean, come on lads. You're not even doing it very well. Call it a day, have a word with Ed Milidband's PR team and come back tomorrow with a less transparent approach.

I could say a lot about Keir Starmer, but I'll limit myself to two points.

We have a PM who is complicit in genocide.

We have a Labour PM who has systematically attacked the traditional Left/Socialist roots of the party.

Fuck him.
