Jax UKI cried! This bodes well for local elections in my ward, Dane Valley, which is just next to Cliftonville. Very exciting!

The Sleight Doctor 🃏🍉@Geri Great news. 👏🏼
Dan HattonGeri gets the scoop before the BBC, and indeed before the Kent County Council website.
(And people of Kent, that's a bit more like it.)
Adam Jacobs 🇺🇦@Geri Brilliant news!
HarriettMB@Geri By a decent margin too; and Labour in a distant fourth, with the LibDems almost gone entirely.
@HarriettMB @Geri And the winning formula has been so laughably simple: acknowledge the real problems faced by voters, and provide practical solutions instead of just scapegoating migrants for everything. Given genuine choices, even some of those previously drawn to Reform *will* pick progressive candidates.
There should be lessons here for the current Labour government, but we know by now they're too beholden to right-wing focus groups and corporate interests to ever learn those lessons.
Epistatacadam@ApostateEnglishman @HarriettMB @Geri I recall in my youth an oft repeated phrase, do not instruct a fool, as the result will be insults, however, instruct a wise man and he will be yet wiser. Labour stopped being wise many many years ago! The brains were kicked out by the militant & never returned.
George B@ApostateEnglishman @HarriettMB @Geri
So much nicer than the choice between "denies there is a problem" and "acknowledges the problem and proposes making it worse claiming that will fix it"
