That last line tells us all we need to know about how politics are so wrong in this country. Normally, when getting a new job, we’d be graced with a period of handover from the incumbent but in politics there is such animosity that they just leave a new incumbent to fail their constituents.On Friday I was talking to 1 of our deposed independent councillors. She was glad she didn't get in as she said she couldn't work with Reform UK. Then she told me 1 of the elected Reform UK councillors has been in touch asking for her assistance as none of the 3 elected councillors knew what to do when they got to the council. Basically asking her about the nuts and bolts of how it all ran. She refused.
Normally you would expect someone standing for such a post would have some semblance of the process they were running for.That last line tells us all we need to know about how politics are so wrong in this country.

Personally, I think it’s disrespectful to the people they profess to serve.
You would. Regardless of party, they fail their constituents.Normally you would expect someone standing for such a post would have some semblance of the process they were running for.
The Members just go off Officer recommendations and spend the first month being inducted and made familiar with everything.That last line tells us all we need to know about how politics are so wrong in this country.

Wait-One, elected councillors don’t have a say on how the Council is run?The Members just go off Officer recommendations and spend the first month being inducted and made familiar with everything.
It is a very part time job, no experience needed. The story will be complete bollocks.
Some Councillors are on £4k expenses a year, it isn't a profession. They rubber stamp things rather than come up with them.Wait-One, elected councillors don’t have a say on how the Council is run?
Part-time job? I cannot believe that.
It depends. If the ruling group has a particular agenda that is legal and can be funded, the officers will do their professional best to implement it.Wait-One, elected councillors don’t have a say on how the Council is run?

Because it won’t get challenged. And, even if it does, one of their FIVE MP’s will be on another tv programme either the next day, the same day or, even at the same time…Tice has just been on Peston saying 50% of Boston residents don't speak English. 30% don't speak any English. According to the last census it's actually 10% who state who don't have English as their primary language. 5% speak no English in Boston. Wonder why he would mis quote the figures
Not very community minded is she? Possibly why she didn't get re-elected.On Friday I was talking to 1 of our deposed independent councillors.

A few of the Brexit diehards are now asking why we’re not part of the Dublin Regulation as that seems to be a good idea.
People who created the shitstorm now asking why the shitstorm is here…..If it wasn’t so tragic, it’d be enormously funny.
They should be challenged because when they are - like a Labour politician is as a matter of routine - they are not very good and get shirty under pressure
Just where are you on the stages of grief?Of course they should. Starmer and co should also start to link everything back to Brexit. Everything Farage and Co told us was, in fact, a lie. This mass migration from Africa and Asia is a DIRECT result of Brexit. Exchanging an essentially transient workforce, with a workforce that is planning on being permanent and having brought extended family members with them.
Will they? Of course they won’t because they’re rubbish at politics.
To be fair to Farage, he doesn’t actually need to be PM as he’s been setting public policy for over 10 years and, hugely disappointingly, it looks like he’ll be setting it for the next 4+ years…
Lol.Not very community minded is she? Possibly why she didn't get re-elected.
Everyone has to start somewhere, sadly, we're not all blessed with an abundance of knowledge from the very start of any job we undertake and many of us have to ask for help, Regardless of what the switch was, be it Independent/Green, Lib/Dem/Reform or even Tory to Labour. or any other combination.
Lol.
Reform are a rabble of incompetent idiots. Just like UKIP before them.
The problem here is not with anyone other than reform who are putting people in to jobs/positions they are unfit to hold.
