Very unlikely a quango and toothless authority will bring down this lot with big talking . Useless Starmer will spin it again to accuse The Electroal Commision of a fault in their fact finding and I have done nothing wrong guv , lets paper over the cracks and I am a Leader . I treasure my vote at Election time , they are all a go to X with no reason to trust anyone . I will vote at all times , my right. Some nobody tells me Local Polling Station is postponed , irrelevant of my thougths Red flags are to the fore and questions as to why these actions are necessary . |  | |  |

| Labour imploding on 01:11 - Dec 19 by Robbie | Reporting that this useless Starmer will now postpone local elections in England due to be voted on May next year , and deferred till 2027 . What a coward , he knows he unpopular and afraid so lets buy some time please voters . The Tories and Reform are certainly rattling his cage , red tape will solve and get me out of the mess I am in . More AMs in Cardiff Bay wanted by a Labour Welsh Government again . I was not asked my thoughts as a Welsh voter though , instead lets do it and more snouts in the trough please . Lets hope next May Sennedd Election will see a Party in turmoil and floundering . |
How is he allowed to dictate as to when elections can take place, MP's need to stand up and be counted and put their objections in. |  |

Reminds me of a scene in the new statesman where Alan b’stard is giving a speech at the Tory party conference and the slogan behind him reads “CLINGING TO POWER” 😂 |
Clinging to power, while picking the clinkers out of his pants |  |

The majority of MP’s are Labour politicians though. They won’t want to see their control over local councils obliterated either. Cancelling our elections because the ruling party doesn’t want to lose is the sort of thing you see in a banana republic. |  |

There appears to be some miss information about what exactly could take place, some outlets and parties are saying abc and others xyz. Starmer isn’t allowed to dictate when the elections take place. There’s a significant reorganisation of local government taking place in England, they are getting rid of some district and county councils and creating new authorities which will deliver services etc. Some councils are concerned about running the elections when there’s such a huge amount of reorganisation taking place and capacity pressures on organisations and that the elections could undermine the reorganisation work. It would appear “multiple” councils have approached the about having the elections delayed. As a result, the government have asked English councils undergoing reorganisation whether they need to delay the elections and the government have given the councils a deadline to submit requests to postpone their local elections next May. Legislation will be needed to delay elections, in line with usual Parliamentary process so it makes sense to ask and be able to plan ahead. Some local elections were delayed in 2019 and it happened again in 2022 obviously under the last 2 Conservative governments, so there is a precedence. The government have said their starting point is that all elections will go ahead, but that all views will be considered before taking the final decision early next year. Labour have control of 18 of the councils affected, the Conservatives 9, and the Liberals 7. The conservatives are defending the largest number of seats. The Liberals and Reform have criticised the plan calling it a Labour and Conservative carve up. The Conservatives have also criticised the plan on the one hand, but Kemi Badenoch has indicated she would not stand in the way of Conservative councils requesting postponements. |  | |  |

The elections can only be postponed if the relevant council asks for them to be delayed, if the councils don’t ask the elections can’t be delayed. |  | |  |

Labour MPs in a safe seat will not dare to make a challenge , Labour whips will put them back in their box at any word of dissent and you are a not a true red rossette wearer . Sadly this Sir and Human Rights lawyer at the top table knows the score , so BS baffles brains to us underlings , Mush , from the first day of your manifesto pledges , you have failed at every statement . Really glad I saw through this liar pre election run up . |  | |  | Login to get fewer ads
| Labour imploding on 07:22 - Dec 22 with 63 views | Dr_Winston | There are Conservative councils also asking to delay. They must also be told no. The excuse being given is that the reorganisation is taking too long, but I'd wager that if you dig deep enough you'd find that most of them, if not all are currently polling as likely to tip to Reform control. That's not a good thing, but manipulation of democracy is worse. |  |

The man is seriously disliked. The crowd would no doubt have been made up of celebs and charity workers and volunteers. In short the sort of people you’d normally place large bets on voting Labour. Starmer is in serious trouble. |  |

I and assume many others couldn't care less if Starmer and his bunch of shysters are in trouble , I'm more concerned that the longer this lot remain in power the more trouble the country will fall into. |  |

Exactly my concern. They know they won't serve a second term so any policies they introduce they won't be around to reap the consequences. They need to be gone now before they do more damage. |  | |  |
