Oh come on, the Tories signed a deal with Leichtenstein. -
In which case our best hope is that 4 years of Reform running things at a local level shows up their incompetence and leads to people deciding they are unsuitable candidates for national Government.

Very little, because they are constrained by financial controls and statutory obligations set by Westminster. Here in Lancashire they say they are prioritising road repairs, but the amount of money they say they will assign to this is woefully inadequate, ( but it is all that the budget will allow ).

Who appointed you to the Thought Police ? Why is voting based on a SM post that "resonates" any worse than voting Labour or Conservative "because it's what I've always done" ?

How many people voting for any party "know exactly what they are voting for" ? How many voted Labour at the GE because they wanted to cut the winter fuel allowance ? As for the flags, the new regime at Lancashire County wanted to stop flying the county flag as it wasn't the Union flag or the cross of St George. Dickheads !!

Nobody that voted for Reform was forced to.

It is 1600Km from the northern border of Ukraine to Moscow. The Russian air defences don't seem to be very effective if Ukraine can launch mass drone strikes on the Russian capital.

The curator of the Queen's pictures was a Russian spy.

The people you reference know what they voted for, and are happy to have done so.

Democracy is a bitch; 1) if enough Labour and Tory voters turned out in the local elections and supported their candidates then Reform would not have such a good result. As with the Brexit vote, anybody who didn't vote has no business moaning about the result. 2) People are allowed to vote for whoever they want. If Labour and the Conservatives remain complacent then "Populism" will appeal. Farage taps into something buried deep in the psyche of an island nation, and successive Governments failing, in the public perception, to address immigration, especially after we "got control of our borders", gives Farage an open goal.

Donnie has had another SMART IDEA; If a US citizen buys a US made car on finance, they will be allowed to deduct the interest payments from their income tax liability. How much of a car has to be manufactured in the US to qualify as "US made" has not been revealed.

This from the Local Government Association outlines Concils' obligations for EDI ; "The Equality Act 2010 challenges organisations to know how age, disability, gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion/belief, sex, and sexual orientation describe the experiences of local communities, both individually and collectively. Thinking about the relationship between these ‘protected characteristics' explains the difficulties and opportunities arising from the diversity of local areas. They are a reminder that the consequences of difference on effective service delivery cannot be avoided either for the provider or the user. Organisations are expected to use this understanding to demonstrate ‘due regard' to the Public Sector Equality Duty to: eliminate unlawful discrimination, harassment and victimisation and other conduct prohibited by the act advance equality of opportunity between people who share a protected characteristic and those who do not foster good relations between people who share a protected characteristic and those who do not."

They will find out how little independent power Councils have.

Everton could play their academy team and comfortably pick up 3 points in that game.
