@Jenny_1884 There is no way that anyone who has just ADHD would get a blue badge.
They may have an array of conditions that necessitates one, but not ADHD on its own.
There isn't a single piece of quality independent journalism that can highlight where this happens.
@EnglishCovenant@F1foundation1@owenjonesjourno Why are you so keen to weaponise it and believe it?
It's an accusation that's been disputed and wouldn't impact the result if it's true. Let the investigators investigate.
@EnglishCovenant@F1foundation1@owenjonesjourno Why are you treating this report as fact, when it may not be?
Why do you assume that it was coercion when it may be something more innocent, like assistance?
How do you know what party they supported?
If Reform had won, these "issues" wouldn't see the light of day.
@EnglishCovenant@F1foundation1@owenjonesjourno Even if your maths is right, then how do you know that they were being coerced. Or coerced into not voting for Reform. It doesn't change the result; Reform were spanked.
Oh, and the council - with their *trained* poll staff refute the allegations.
@EnglishCovenant@F1foundation1@owenjonesjourno They are not "assigned" as election observers. They choose to observe elections and are permitted to do so.
I am not a green voter. Or member. Or activist.
But it's weird that Reform only care about this when they think they may have lost 32 votes to it.
@EnglishCovenant@F1foundation1@owenjonesjourno You have taken the word of a single group as gospel and ignored the response from the council.
Because it suits your narrative to believe that the election wasn't fair.
@Alexarmstrong No, it's not the Electoral Commission. It's "Democracy Volunteers" - a rather opaque outfit who were given permission by the EC to be inside the polling stations.
And the TRAINED council staff refute the reports.
@EnglishCovenant@F1foundation1@owenjonesjourno 1. It's not verified.
2. The council's trained polling staff refute it.
3. It's less than forty votes in an electoral roll of 76,000.
4. It's probably not cheating. People with disabilities can have help; noone knows the reasons if it really did happen.
@SandyofSuffolk 2029 Sandy.
That's the next general election.
You want it know before everyone knows the truth about Farage and his dirty dealings. Before everyone sees the mess Reform are making of councils.
But 2029.
@d123456bb But Sarah Pochin's case worker was arrested at Pride and has admitted to hating LGBTQ.
So ... Reform will hate lesbians?
And they voted against legislation to outlaw stalking, harassment and upskirting.
Not really on the side of ordinary women, are they?
@JoeyMannarino You're right.
In Britain, the correct term is "Happy Holidays" or "Winterval."
It's a criminal offence to use the word "Christmas" - as many right-wing fools will tell you. The Archbishop will be in jail before the end of the day.
@SarahForRuncorn Less than 2% of the population regularly go to a Christian church.
This country is atheist.
Yet another thing you've got wrong this year. Try better in 2026.
Happy holidays!
@JohnStanners@DeborahMeaden@AllisonPearson@Keir_Starmer@UKLabour Not Government, local councils.
They are not cancelled, but delayed.
New authorities being created were slated to start from 2026, but that's been pushed back to get the organisation right.
No conspiracy, no cock up. Just adult, common-sense planning.
