feels under-appreciated that Labour is partly going to lose so many seats just because it is so dominant in local government at the moment

Non-protesting dad just trying to hustle his kids, as young as 6mo, out of the neighborhood. ICE threw a flash-bang INTO HIS car, all 6 kids in the hospital now. If anyone wondered how things turn against occupying armies there's a case study playing out in front of you.

All these Reform defections are short term gains which undermine their core selling point - which is change. Why would the country elect a party full of all the same washed-up, scandal-hit former Tory ministers they just kicked out of office? Opens the space for both a Labour and Tory recovery

Her sentence followed guidelines. Personally, particularly with prisons so crowded, I’d have liked to see doing several hundred hours of Community Payback, anonymously painting community centres or litter picking rather than becoming the Rights new ‘political’ martyr.

Polling on Lucy Connolly tweet following her release finds that 35% think her sentence too harsh, but the majority of Brits: 52% say it was about right or too lenient. Most 2024 Reform voters say too harsh, Tory voters split harsh or lenient/about right. Most Labour/LD/Green the latter

Right. I'm going through Reform UK's accounts for 2024. Huge jump in income from donations: "The accounts included show the Party received donations from both individuals and corporates, amounting to a total of £10,206,321 (2023; £1,345,614)"
REFORM 2025 LTD
Treasurer's Report
for the year ended 31 December 2024
As the current Treasurer of Reform Party appointed in February 2025 replacing the previous Treasurer,
Mehrtash A'zami, I put forward the annual Treasurer's Report for the year ending 31st December 2024.
This report aims to provide an overview of the financial activities and achievements by the party during
the year.
The accounts included show the Party received donations from both individuals and corporates,
amounting to a total of £10,206,321 (2023; £1,345,614) and that these donations included £2,995,660
reported to the Electoral Commission (2023: £295,000.00). Total expenditure during the year
reported as £9,314, 587 (2023: £1,326,815).
IS
As in the past, during the year ending 31 December 2024, Reform launched a few successful
fundraising campaigns and have increased individual and corporate contributions as the numbers
clearly demonstrate.
The party has continued to strengthen its membership base leading to a notable increase in
membership subscriptions fees as well. This growth in membership demonstrates the growing trust and
engagement of the public with the Party's objectives and direction.
