I tihnk he's aware of how young he is. He's trying to look older and more serious.

By dressing like a clown

Looking at the pictures, I think he's donated his cuffs to Councillor Boam

Somewhere, a Young Conservatives Branch is missing a virgin.

It could be just a short-sleeved shirt (the horror! the horror!). In any case that waistcoat is dangerously close to being a horseshoe for which a bow-tie is preferable.

To be fair, my fashion sense at that age was terrible.

I keep wondering if those are so young because they are more naive than the older Reform councillors and so have ended up where they have more legal responsibilities.

Via the Private Eye Paul Foot awards and this shocking video about lead contamination in the UK.



And the paper involved

There also might be little choice, I wasn't entirely joking about the Young Conservatives, these would have been the freaky, misfit, Tory Boy Lites that would have been activists, canvassers, assistants or researchers for local MPs for a few years until they moved on, got laid or got selected to stand in an unwinnable seat to pay their dues & maybe get a one with a chance next time.. Instead they've managed to skip the whole 'learning how things work' stage and jump straight to ruining people's lives for real.

Both of those councillors you put up look like new entries into a fly by night penny stock selling scam company. Must be a big step down joining ReformUK Ltd for them.

We used to sell few sausages to the EU before they stopped our exports. The UK should not surrender our fish and our right to make our own laws in order to sell a few sausages to them.

Reform is a Farage cult, says Rupert Lowe. (And all it took for him to notice that was the cult turning on him after Musk said he should replace Farage.)

Farage is running a cult, says ex-Reform MP Rupert Lowe

Rupert Lowe brands his former party "the cult of Nigel," in a BBC Newsnight interview.

Apropos of nothing, someone in a twitter chat group just posted a link to this Blackadder III video clip.

Apparently Charles Pugsley had a £50,000 a year private education and is a Landlord of several housing properties.

So.. Pulled himself up by his bootstraps then?

Told you he was a natural Young Conservative.

You're just jealous that you hadn't managed to have your own estate agency by the age of 19.

I blame myself for being born to the wrong parents.
