My daughter was elected as a city councillor when she was 18, the youngest in the country at the time. (11 years ago)
She worked her butt off beforehand (and afterwards) to ensure she knew all there is to know about how local government works. She was brilliant and did some important work. She knew all this backwards before she got in the chamber.
This is outrageous incompetence. I wouldn’t dream of voting Reform, but this should give pause to anyone remotely considering it.

🔺Excl: Reform UK leader Nigel Farage bought a £1.4 million property in cash shortly after receiving a £5 million personal gift from billionaire donor Christopher Harborne, according to property records seen by Sky News. Reform spox: "The offer and process for purchase of this property commenced before the gift".

Victoria Derbyshire spend 8 minutes taking apart Nigel Farage's £5,000,000 gift

"As you'd expect we asked Reform UK for an interview tonight. One Reform UK press officer asked: with who and to discuss what"

"We said we'd like to talk about the local elections, the detention centres in Green areas, and £5m gift from Christopher Harborne"

"We didn't receive another reply"

[Second Tier podcast @secondtierpod]

This is incredible for the Sheffield Wednesday fans.

Announcing this in the stadium, the reaction is just 👌

[Zack Polanski @ZackPolanski]

So Farage might debate me *after* the local elections.

Ludicrous. Don't vote for Reform - they're lying to you.

Vote Green - for hope and a plan.

If your curious about the source of this story - they quote a tweet from 2018!

And yes like the majority of Brits have huge concern about horses welfare and the Grand National.

Our campaign launch was about housing & rent controls. Can't imagine why the Sun won't report that.

Capping student loan interest rates at 6%? Not good enough.

After months of criticism this is the Labour government's insufficient response to the debt trap that is student loans.

It's time to scrap tuition fees altogether.

The BBC is ignoring the biggest march against the far right in history.

Can we keep sharing to get it trending?

Water is a human right — yet in the UK it’s being run for profit, while rivers are polluted and bills rise.

This World Water Day, the answer is clear: bring water into public ownership and make it work for people and planet.

Two weeks ago we had solar panels and a battery fitted. We have just completed our first full week with the system.
Our electric bill for the week commencing 10th March 2026 compared to the same week last year has dropped by 71% from £31.71 to £9.05.

We also have not received our DNO cert yet which would allow us to sell back into the grid. On sunny days our battery has been full by 11:30am meaning we don’t yet benefit from the excess free energy being produced.

We are now going to buy an electric car and fill it with free energy.

If only all of the UK could do this, it would go along way to reducing the countries high energy costs.
