Why has Starmer cancelled elections and blocked Burham on 00:36 - Jan 28 by Demitrius
63 Councils though? I mean a handful you could say okay we'll cut you some slack... People shouldn't have to just shrug their shoulders and say : "Oh well 5 years of feet dragging by the Commons and the Boundaries and Electoral Commissions, but never mind let's just cancel local elections and put up with the same useless cretins who can't organise a piss up in a brewery for another few years" The process is there to prevent gerrymandering, though the previous changes would have favoured the Tories, especially in true blue heartland of counties like Sussex which you've mentioned before I think is one merger pushing for a cancellation. The national picture is different - Conservative and Labour approval ratings have now BOTH plummeted and both parties know they'd get a hammering at most of these elections which the Tories did of course in 2023. So I was a bit suprised at Cleverly's comments the other day but a stick to beat Labour with is still a stick at the end of the day... I'm also suspicious of the impartiality aspect of these and other quangos in the times we live in but that's a whole other can of worms...
Where do you get 63 from ?

"Last month, the government said some 63 council areas could postpone elections until 2027 after some told ministers they lacked the capacity to reorganise in time. On Thursday, Mr Reed confirmed his decision to bring forward legislation to postpone 29 of the elections."
Article is somewhat misleading as it doesn't explain from the Labour source if that's all council elections, all Reorgs etc and just the May elections or includes the 132-136 (depending on which source you use) that are due to take place before 2027. I'm still not sure that 29 is a final figure or there are more to come.?
Gwyn is right though it is 29 for now in May but still too high in many people's view.
My own fairly recent personal experience is having a terrible Tory led council that nearly bankrupted the council and were cooking the books to cover their tracks - which we are now still paying for trying to meet Gvmt targets. I was discussing this issue with some ex-Lib Dem councillors a few weeks back and imagining the scenario had we not been able to vote the buggers out at the end of their term.
“Cunnilingus and Psychiatry brought us to this …”

Late reply sorry.

Pain or damage don't end the world. Or despair, or f*cking beatings. The world ends when you're dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man... and give some back.

Starmers is a top QC according to his CV allegedly , yet his bestie mates at The High Court have said enough mush , you are breaking rules regarding the UKs still freedom to put their pencilled in X on a ballot paper .
Not very often I agree with the Higher Courts but a knock back for this useless leader is welcomed .
Another U turn by his decision making as a totally out of his depth Prime Minister .
Goodness knows the chance to boot out useless Politicians is barred around the World . We really are lucky on our shores to show our discontent thankfully .
Lets keep Democracy and the right to vote alive in The UK .
Starmer has tried to change that narrative to save his own standing .

It's not Starmers fault and if you do not believe me ask him.
Another U turn by Starmer makes that 10 plus so far. Apparently a lawyer did not it was illegal to cancel democratic elections.
Hope he does another U turn on the economy and business taxes. Todays unemployment figures hit 5.2% a 5 year record high. Another 100,000 people lost their jobs last month dure the Reeves two budgets.

The real fascists are those that cloak themselves in Fabian garb...
We see you, telling us daily how you are working on our behalf....
For our own good....
*ankers. One and all. Yet we have patronising Leftist slugs on here telling us that WE are the problem...
Thick as mince....Though true to form they'll accuse you of that because you're devoid of critical thinking aren't you...?
In our GB News bubble where we get our daily televisual Methodone and set aside a lifetime of lived experience....?
LOL! Despicable people....

"Working on our behalf" is complete BS. The key phrase also used is "in power", wrong. The Returning Officer announces a result and states that they are elected to serve the people of whatever consistency, they should remember this and respect it above everything else. Personal and political party gain should never enter the equation.

Starmers true ambition is to follow Blair onto the world's political stage, self promotion is his only goal, that's why he spends a lot of time flirting around Europe, trying set himself up as some big and great leader. His delusion holds no bounds.
