I think taking pride in crushing diversity is a sad state of affairs.

Well done Allira for spotting my error.Have a nice day.

You're welcome

You too 🌞

I see that Reform's advert for a south central director offers home working with some occasional travel in the area. Home Working after what Farage said !!!!!

You have too be joking!

But you are not - and its more than one job

"Reform accused of hypocrisy after advertising home working jobs
Several paid roles at party are not in office despite Nigel Farage’s comments promising ‘no more work from home"

"It has since emerged that several paid roles with the party, such as “regional director”, are offering “home working with occasional travel”, prompting accusations of hypocrisy on social media.

Posting on X, the Labour MP Stella Creasy said the hypocrisy was “glorious”."

I think some people, including some Gnetters think, it doesnt matter which party council members belong to.
Oh yes it does!

It depends how many of them there are fancythat. It certainly matters when their party has an outright majority.

OOOOps! That's one gone already.

Yes, it was mentioned other thread I think - it appears to be an inner party "split" issue going back to the split when Rupert Lowe MP was sacked from the Reform party, as she had favoured him

"In a statement posted on Sunday, Edmunds wrote: "Yesterday I woke up feeling very proud to be one of Reform's 677 new councilors.
"This morning I woke up to an email from [Reform] head office advising me that I have been suspended from the party 'pending an investigation'."
"Why? Because I urged people here on X to lend Reform their support for the short term - for Thursday's elections - even if they felt they couldn't for the long term.
"According to head office, 'this has brought the party into disrepute and damaged the interests of the party.'"

She went on to say the party was brought into disrepute when leadership "unceremoniously ditched" Rupert Lowe.

She said his suspension "provoked a wave of resignations" where whole branches resigned as one in protest.

"I called my branch chair to resign my membership, he asked me to stay on as we were struggling to find candidates."

As I said on another thread, there is an interesting video biography of Farage, produced by Led by Donkeys. Spotted it on Facebook this morning, and my goodness, but he has been a racist from his earliest years.
