2/ Being a councillor is not standing in front of the Union flag shouting about dinghies on GB News. It’s reading committee papers at midnight, attending meetings nobody enjoys, holding surgeries in church halls, and dealing with the endlessly glamorous world of drains, social care budgets and recycling disputes.
Welcome to local government.
The boats are in Kent. The bins are in your ward.

1/ Have you found yourself in the hideous position of having a Reform councillor?
Here’s how you can help your brand new councillor settle into local government properly: email them this week with an actual council problem to solve.
Got rubbish piling up? Email them.
Bus vanished from existence? Email them.
Streetlights dead? Email them.
Care package delayed? Email them.
Pavement like the Somme? Email them.
Send them in by the hundred. Make sure they’re made very clear on what their job is.

1/ "Demanding mourning and prayers from the oppressed is a mandate that says even in death, the oppressor deserves to be centered and given reverence. It says we must prove our humanity by honoring vile people who denied ours. It flips the moral order by making the targets of hatred responsible for showing compassion to people who built power by withholding compassion from them.

The Greens being the only party to speak up for marginalised groups lately, inc. disabled threatened by cuts from Labour, I've been supporting them & Indies, but wary of ZP buying into the 'Corbyn antisemitism' scam - either foolery or cunning on his part. It'll be interesting to see how Green activists behave towards w-class ppl, as I've noticed some env. activists to be condescending, or worse, expecting w-class ppl to merely do childcare & menial roles for them.

"The lady at the charity shop today told me she wishes ppl wd clear out their kids' old toys in the lead up to Xmas rather than after because she always sees parents in the days before Xmas looking for toys for their little ones who might be strapped for cash. She said there's rarely anything in before, but they get many toys after.
If you know your child is going to get lots of presents for Xmas this year, by clearing out early you could make another child's Xmas a lot more special."
