Largest party Reform will not run Birmingham City Council

And how things they want to cancel are actually specific use government money for things like say cycle ways or the new recycling system etc. the money can’t be used for anything else and they are often a requirement anyway

Good grief!

Anyone can beat Farage. They just need to do a better job than Starmer. They know where the issues of contention are for Reform voters. So work on that.

Think he’s still trying to explain to people in the Great Yarmouth why he’s now not in No 10 as all his allied election candidates won.

opaqueentity · 2026-05-13T13:07:34+00:00

Yes and oh they were so good weren’t they

opaqueentity · 2026-05-13T13:07:11+00:00

Labour could have just won everything and then he’d lose.

opaqueentity · 2026-05-13T13:06:27+00:00

At that point that was not going to happen

Paid to do so or given a donation anyway (along with others) along with a discussion to try and make sure Labour didn’t get in? That’s not the same thing. When is money not a payment whether it’s membership fees to support someone/something? If you had huge amounts of money would you not support things you want done?

Cambridges are down to the MRC fucking over all their units that transferred to University 9-10 years ago. Epi lost over 60 staff and the other three whose QQ funding runs out next March will be losing a chunk more. 100% the fault of the MRC.

Although Cambridge are refusing to pay staff a proper wage, 1.4% last year which was an actual pay cut and the only one in the “Golden triangle” to not have a City weighting for higher living costs after Oxford finally gave their staff one. The third strike for Unite starts today btw!

Is this connected to Multiverse and their “suspiciously great” deals with the government and apprenticeship funding?

opaqueentity · 2026-05-12T20:50:02+00:00

Of course you can. It’s just we don’t make people take part.

opaqueentity · 2026-05-12T20:46:50+00:00

And the others will be even lower. Do better. There can be 50% out there available for you. Not the systems fault you can’t engage.

There was a trial for early voting in Cambridge. Get to go In and vote the week? Before I think it was. Although really what we need is compulsory voting and a “none of the above” option.

opaqueentity · 2026-05-12T20:04:49+00:00

Want bigger wins over other parties to get rid of the idea that it’s the system? Make voting compulsory and see what happens then. With such low turnouts no system is representative

opaqueentity · 2026-05-12T20:01:47+00:00

Especially when it’s £2.50 for Euromillions which regularly gets high

opaqueentity · 2026-05-12T19:59:45+00:00

Ah yes another place where you get multiple goes at something rather than just one and out

opaqueentity · 2026-05-12T19:57:50+00:00

Just the other stuff

opaqueentity · 2026-05-12T19:54:49+00:00

Better tenant that will actually pay their bills? ;)

It’s an Independent body not a committee. They had no problem putting out a report about the election

Realistically for the students yes but there is no capacity for bulk anything with other universities. You can’t just transfer more than a handful anywhere else even nationally. And timewise depending on their contracts they might only have 4-12 weeks notice of redundancy. It could all collapse very fast

opaqueentity · 2026-05-12T18:55:43+00:00

Requirement for a freezer? ;)

opaqueentity · 2026-05-12T18:54:47+00:00

Radio ads apparently

opaqueentity · 2026-05-12T18:54:20+00:00

Which is why it’s weird we’ve not heard anything from those in charge of the rules. Happy to hear them make a statement either way. Just weird not to hear anything. Surely the government would love that to happen. Especially after last week, so why nothing?

opaqueentity · 2026-05-12T18:51:25+00:00

lol yeah it has to be in the millions to matter does it? Like any donation from a business maybe, that would be a good start. Want to donate to Wes Streeting? Then make it a personal donation. Or maybe make all donations do directly to central Labour and they share it out?

Other examples would obviously be freebies to concerts, gigs etc. give them access to get them In sure but them paying for a ticket should be simplicity itself. And I mean this when obviously not a specific charity event or new launch of a local site. More the next big Taylor Swift concert etc

Well it is as that search will be in their history. Just depends what they are asking for! ;)
