Reform backs independence shocker

the next Reform UK Government under Prime Minister Nigel Farage…will give Havering a choice, a choice to break free of the Mayor of London and become a self-governing unitary authority once again.

Most importantly, it will ensure that policies decided for the people of this borough are made by the people of Havering. No more dictatorship from the Mayor of London or City Hall.

The big selling point of Reform of course is that they are a refreshing change from the uniparty. A big F-you to the tired, shambolic and downright corrupt Labour and Tories. Draining the swamp if you will.

Take the sharp-as-you-like guy they just announced as their Shadow Chancellor, Boaby Jenrick. Here's the kind of CV the people are crying out for in a new wave of government:

1) Tory housing secretary Jenrick approved a £1 billion redevelopment of the Westferry Printworks site in East London, over-ruling his own planning inspector, the local council, and officials just one day before a new Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) came into force, a move that saved the developer, former Daily Express owner Richard Desmond, an estimated £40 million to £50 million in payments to the local council.
It was revealed that Jenrick had sat next to Desmond at a Conservative fundraising dinner, where Desmond showed him a promotional video of the development on his phone. (unconfirmed reports that renowned pornographer Desmond showed him some other, ahem, videos too)

Following legal action from Tower Hamlets Council, Jenrick had to quash his own decision, admitting it was "unlawful by reason of apparent bias". He subsequently resigned from the cabinet in a 2021 reshuffle.

2) Tory housing secretary Jenrick, using the £3.6 billion Towns Fund, selected 60 towns that were Conservative-held or target seats for funding, out of 101. He selected his own constituency of Newark for a £25m funding grant, despite civil servants ranking it as only the 270th most eligible area, placing it far below other, more deprived towns.

3) Tory housing secretary Jenrick, during the COVID-19 pandemic while frequently advising the public to "stay at home," broke his own guidance. He traveled 150 miles from his London home to his second home in Herefordshire during the lockdown, and also traveled 40 miles to visit his parents.

4) Tory bastard Jenrick had applied twice under his own name to have an extra room added to his house as part of wider renovations. A further application was made by his wife. Each time officials refused, saying it would damage the character of the building, which is in conservation area.

But with the third application, made two months after Jenrick was elected as an MP, a Conservative councillor living in the square intervened to request the application be referred to a planning committee, which approved the plans.


How refreshing, that'll, er, put it up em!

At one point they were reportedly going to support it, which makes a lot of sense from their position when you think about it.

If Scotland reaffirms it wants to be part of the union, fine. If it votes for independence they have a better chance in rUK. Now the latter is moot the incentives will have changed.

Do you think it's interesting, or just plain obvious, that the SNP are reportedly quite content with Reform making inroads up here, cos it splits the anti-SNP vote and keeps them in power?

If true and I see no reason to suppose it is true, it would be myopic opportunism to the nth degree. Nah the more that I think about it, though the SNP is chock a block with career politicians, like all other parties, even they must know that tactic would not in one iota bring the cause of Independence closer. Mind you on the other hand I've said on here before, that I have questioned some of their sincerely in fighting for it anyway.

I covered point No1 extensively on here @Keepitgreen at the time but also pointed out that slimy billionaire Desmond before owning the Express rag made his dough as a pornographer with a vast empire of magazines and porn channels.
Jenrick and Desmond well suited. Jenrick and Reform well suited.

Possibly the next Chancellor of the Exchequer. FFS.

Aye @GORDONSMITH7 to paraphrase the great telly character Logan Roy: these aren't serious people. Its all so fucking bleak.
 
Matt Badloss (reform) may not have got a seat in the House of Commons but he's guaranteed a seat in the audience of the BBC Question Time programme every week 😀
 
Peter Reeve. Councillor. Reform.
Peter Reeve. Ex councillor. UKIP.
What is Nick Griffin doing nowadays?
Must be a place for him somewhere in Reform ranks?
 
I really don't like Reform, but I'm not sure Swinney refusing to invite them to meetings that all the other parties are invited too is a good strategy. Thoughts?

I get why Swinney is doing it. Reform is going to be the bogeyman for the next few years. But it probably suits Reform not to be invited. They can claim they are the anti establishment party and aren't part of the 'uniparty'. They can also claim that over 300,000 Scots voters are being disrespected. I think it plays into Reform's hands.

Spot on.

I think most of the Bounce are pretty much anti-Reform, but this is supposed to be a democracy we live in and if the result of an election is that this party has represented the wishes of a sizeable minority, enough to gain seats, then that should mean they have the same rights and opportunities as other elected members.

(I wouldn't necessarily extend that argument to the Greens mind, they are the Ryans of politics. :gigglle:)
