      „Several Reform UK councils have unveiled plans for above-inflation council tax rises as well as reductions in investment and service cuts, prompting accusations that the party is “betraying” residents.

      Four Reform-led local authorities have so far confirmed plans for inflation-busting council tax increases.

      Other proposals for 2026-27 include the closure of household waste and recycling centres, cuts to winter gritting and school crossing patrol budgets, selling off cultural assets and new parking charges.“

      Wait, what but Nigel said the Reform councils would save loads of cash by stopping wasteful spending and reduce council tax. What happened guys where did it all go wrong.

      This can’t be right they said they wouldn’t increase taxes they’d just cut the rubbish out! They’d not lie or be naive right ?

      In a move that surprises exactly no one. Won’t stop idiots voting for them though.

      Reform will sort it don’t worry folks. 

      Being the opposition is great you can make great promises you will never keep.

      What happened to the ‚we’ll cut your taxes!!!‘ promise

      If i’m going to have lying idiots in charge, i’d rather have semi competent liars than reform, thanks

      Reform cutting services is exactly what they said they’d do.

      Now they’re doing it.

      Let’s see how their stupid spunk-trumpet supporters who need those services respond…

      Good the more people just see what kind of „leaders“ Farage is offering the UK the better.

      Better this fuckfest happens at the council level and not parliment.

      Wouldn’t be surprised if most of them coming in thought they’d easily save billions and balance the budget by slashing various imagined DEI programs only to find out the actual spending on those is a rounding error’s worth. Reminder the average person thinks foreign aid is anywhere between 10% to 20% of the whole budget when it’s actually 0.3%

      Their policies beyond racism are fairly awful. From Ukraine to reducing workers rights, I genuinely wonder if Reform voters know they are voting for anything outside immigration topics. It’s alarmingly similar to Trump’s policies in the US that hit his voters the hardest. (Republican states are on average poorer than Democrat states and so cuts hit them harder than elsewhere).

    14. Turbantastic on

      Exactly as the reform voting inbreds were told would happen. Will it stop the knuckle draggers voting for them though? I highly doubt it, reform will just wheel out a new 3 word slogan, blame brown people and watch as it’s slurped up by the gullible and stupid once again….

      Anyone got a working archive link?

      The automod link doesn’t work for me.

      Is he writing a new book, “100 things that will make sure no one votes for you ever again?”

    17. Personal_Director441 on

      erm….erm…. isn’t this exactly the opposite to what they promised, well at least Leicestershire council are stopping all those boats landing on the shores of Rutland water, phew.

    18. Visa5e on

      So scrapping DEI isnt a solution for everything?

      Im amazed at this turn of events.

    19. initiali5ed on

      When did rob from the poor and give to the rich every work to make the life of the working poor better?

    21. MultiMidden on

      Perhaps its time for Led By Donkeys to run a crowdfunding campaign to fund advertising billboards in key potential Reform areas?

    22. MrkEm22 on

      Hang about if they plan to cut services what exactly am I paying tax for?

      Genuine question for all reform minded people btw

    23. technomat on

      Your all being over dramatic and too critical over nothing, think of the lovely brand new flags they bought!!

    24. Demoliscio on

      Next week they’ll say its the fault of „the boats“ and people will lap it up and hate the person making their kebab some more.

      I just hope that a couple more years of being grifted like this will help people wake up before the next elections and we can avoid what would certainly be a dumpster fire worse than brexit

    25. Prisoner3000 on

      But surely all those millions of pounds that were spent on diversity training and stopped by Reform could be used to plug the gaps?

      The only other explanation is that it was all total bollocks

    26. red-spider-mkv on

      That’s unfortunate. But let’s ask the real questions, will they still have enough money for more flags?

    27. ash_ninetyone on

      Cos a double whammy of austerity and tax hikes is just what we need.

      They finally figured out government isn’t as easy as they thought. That just cutting everything isn’t as simple as that.

      Snake oil ghouls.

    28. KLAE-Resource on

      Tax rises and service cuts? And yet the average Reform voter will still be convinced that their policies are going to benefit the ordinary man in the street…

    30. Jadejadenjaded99 on

      Got the Brit’s to give up guns years back and now the push for digital id, welcome to the new world order

    31. Banksyyy_ on

      But I was told that Reform were different and were gonna save us money. It was obvious councils had no funding for years and Reform voters were delusional to think that they could change anything.

    32. painteroftheword on

      Turns out repeatedly believing a known liar is a bad idea.

      One of my local ReformUK cllrs immediately quit because they didn’t want the job and triggered a second £20k local election.

      Dumb fuck electorate voted for the next ReformUK candidate.
