You just can't trust satnavs these days.

 

[metalblue]

Another u-turn.

U turn before courts told them it wasn’t lawful.

Tax payer now footing the legal bills for reform / tories. This is fucking mental.

We were saying on here how it was unlawful, yet the cheerleaders wouldn't listen.

Reckon they're listening now? :)

This lot are so clueless it’s frightening.
It’s getting so embarrassing now I think King Charles should stop fucking about playing carrots for flutes and fucking grow a pair.
Has this useless jackass any say in dissolving parliament ?
One big pantomime!

Only Oliver dissolves parliament. Pity he's not here to dissolve Charlie and his crew.

We were due its the beginning of a new week.

You popped into another thread that no-one has touched for months. I think it was to sneer, about left wing Labour MPs, but I wasn't quite sure.

It's not that difficult. The activities of the SCG are irrelevant to a thread about the government. Hence the bump of the Labour party thread.

The activities of Labour Together, the rancid faction driving the train, are another matter entirely.

Something else that never crossed Starmer's desk.

The noticing continues. Years too late.

It's a shame. They deserved their shot due to the incompetence and corruption that ran through the last mob but sadly for the electorate they seem to be carrying on the tradition of shit government.
Only losers are the man and women on the street.

The problem when you keep defending Starmer’s position he just u turns anyway. His MPs must despair.

Many of the councils in question are beingrealigned. and new election will be needed with a year for some, the local authorities in many asked to cancel them, and them going ahead will probably cost millions in tax money unecessarily much. more than the court cost farage has forced upon us will his challenging of this to have them repeated once the changes are made.

Any serious politician would have suggested cancelling, but the con artist and his media mates saw another stick to poke the government, farafe isn't arsed if they went ahead or not.

Of course Farage wants elections, he’s flying high in the polls and why wouldn’t you want the chance to cement those figures.

Nobody should really have an issue with it apart from the constituents in that area, who will now be paying twice for the privilege and whoever gets in having less money to play with.

It’s definitely going to bite somebody on their arse, but it won’t be their money they’re playing with.

I think the real issue here is, according to advice government received, is it wasn’t legal.

Well fuck me.

A government doing shit without checking if it's legal first...Such a rarity in an honest professional such as politics.

I've not tried to follow what the basis for the legal challenge was but I'd assumed the government's case was that they had the power in the Local Government Act 2000, s. 87(1):

"The Secretary of State may by order make provision which changes the years in which the ordinary elections of councillors of any specified local authority are to be held but which does not change the scheme which prevails (whether by virtue of an order under section 86 or otherwise) for the ordinary elections of those councillors".

Perhaps it was just that time is ticking on - and even if they won, with possible appeals and the need to make an Order, if they did lose it would leave elections officers even less time to arrange the election than they have now.

Just guessing.

Reform trying to force chaos and the BBC are right behind them unbalanced banner headlines

What is the balance to the u turn by Labour on this matter? Farage leaves floating turd in toilet, Tory parks on double yellow, Davey stands on tip toes to get on roller coaster?

Unemployment at 5.2% in December.
