Do you remember how people said that economic harm would be a price worth paying for leaving the EU?
In what sense? Do you mean you'd be happy for Scotland to break away? I'm not asking that in a contentious way, just asking the question
A situation could arise at the next GE where the SNP, if they maintain their current resurgence, could influence a no overall majority coalition at the price of a further independence referendum. How the Scots see re form as good for Scotland is beyond me, hence my comment.In what sense? Do you mean you'd be happy for Scotland to break away?

The populist right are the greatest threat to the living standards of ordinary British citizens.
Privatise the profits, socialise the losses
They were economic migrants who undercut the wages of local labour force. They were portrayed as uneducated, and uncivilised, whose dangerous foreign religion so threatened the established church it had been banned for hundreds of years.
Aside from any politics, I would be very sad if there was Scottish independence.
Although personally I think the support for Scottish independence reached its peak at just over 50% and that’s not going to be repeated, even with a Reform govt
I think some, obviously not all, are growing increasingly disillusioned with the SNP. You're right, Scottish Labour was gaining traction but much of that has dissipated, possibly due to Starmer et al. So we find ourselves in a situation where Reform are gaining in the polls.
I think that actually sums it up for many people. It's perhaps not so much they're desperate to vote Reform, however they've become disillusioned with the established parties spouting the usual rhetoric with things continuing to get worse.
poor SPLINe has been sucking at the GBnews teat again
in reality, this was decided a long time ago, way before Reform had a very short term minor gain in councils
Reform have totally fekked up every council they control, nobody's gonna be voting for those ham shankers
These county councils will cease to exist. Once an elected mayor is in place all councils city, county districts will be merged into either one mega council or possibly 2 or 3 councils. Their whole election area will change and anyone elected will cease to be a councillor and a new election will need to be held. So the proposal which was always on the cards was to postpone for 2025 start the Local government review. Elect a mayor in 2026 and form a full new council on new council boundaries in 2027

I think reform councils are now realising that there are no magic wands to wave
I haven't heard of anything promising coming from any reform council

no need, Reform councils are doing a mighty fine job of destroying themselves
I warned people they would go the same way as the UKIP controlled Thanet council
There are only so many ways to slice the proverbial cake.
I think to a large degree, it's almost irrelevant who's in power, unless there are some truly significant changes ... which there won't be.
