General UK politics VIII - The Last Tory

The score so far.

Three Reform councillors have stepped down because they didn't know you can't be a council employee and a councillor at the same time.
Another stepped down because he's serving in the military so can't be a council member.

Just to add, it seems there are several like the last one mentioned that have declined seats as they were just family members who were roped in to make up the numbers and unexpectedly won.

A Reform councillor has resigned just days after being elected, triggering a by-election process.
Des Clarke, of Reform UK, was elected to the Newark West division of Nottinghamshire County Council during last week’s local elections, on May 1.

However, less than a week later the party has confirmed the decision to step down from the council, with Mr Clarke stating he was “not in a position to represent the people of Newark West in the way they deserve, while at the same time continuing his career in social care, about which he is very passionate.”

Apparently the release of Tommy Ten names and all those jailed for being patriots last summer was part of the trade deal.

But Starmer won't tell you that, it's a secret.
 
Apparently Little Tommy's 'team' has removed the ‘silenced’ documentary from his page to avoid contempt of court, paving the way for his return home.
 
Remember this tomorrow when he says it's ◊◊◊◊
