The UK #LabourParty expects to be wiped out in #Lancashire's reinstated #councilElections. My initial instinct is sympathy with local councillors, who are usually made of much better stuff than the national leadership.

But the councils requested the postponement. They are indeed short-staffed, and the top-down centralisation of councils is not their plan. But cancelling elections is a terrible response at any time. And in these times, it was suicidal. Get em out!

Another climbdown after another assault on Democracy. We can rush through legislation to ban social media for kids (but leave the filth on social media alone) but it takes years and years to rejig local democracy....it's almost like Labour doesn't really know what they are doing and why?

How can anyone in the UK trust Nigel Farage or ReformUK with any branch of UK democracy when ReformUK isn't run democratically.

All publicity, no policies.
