General UK politics VIII - The Last Tory

P.J. Denyer said:
The Mayoralty results were holds for Labour. I'm seriously worried that the only way Reform Ltd voters will learn how bad a government they'd make it is to win.

The last time the company won significant council seats, it all fell apart inside of a year and ended Fromage's association with the name UKIP.
 
Reform UK could take the government to court to prevent migrants being housed in areas where it now controls the local council, party chairman Zia Yusuf told the BBC.

Yusuf said his party had pledged to "resist" housing asylum seekers in Reform-controlled areas and it would use "every instrument of power available", including judicial reviews, to fulfil its pledge.

"The levers of power at a local level pale in comparison to the levers of power at Westminster," he told the BBC's Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg programme.

But he said "those levers of power will be pulled with all our might by Reform councillors," adding: "There are things you can do, there are judicial reviews, there are injunctions... things around planning, budget allocation."

He told Laura Kuenssberg: "A lot of these hotels... you suddenly turn them into something else which is essentially a hostel that falls foul of any number of regulations - that's what our teams of lawyers are exploring at the moment."

Yusuf also said that Reform councillors "will cut waste", and will target spending on diversity and inclusion initiatives.
He said Reform UK will "send teams in, task forces" and that "we're now going to have access to the contracts and we're going to make these changes."

He seems to think that Reform headquarters can send teams in to local councils, get access to council finances and contract details and order them to end contracts.

Asked if Reform UK's policy was to house migrants in tents, as the party's newly elected Greater Lincolnshire mayor Dame Andrea Jenkyns suggested, Yusuf said: "That's what France does."

He added: "We will be publishing a plan to deport everybody who is currently in this country illegally in our first term of government.

"We will publish that plan in the coming weeks and you'll see the full detail."
 
Andrea Jenkyns, "Inch by inch Reform UK will reset Britain to it's glorious past"
 
Taking applications for task forces to go in to councils and cut waste.
Why does he think he has the authority to do that?
They really don't understand how councils work do they?

Zia Yusuf, "We will cut waste, you can hold us to that"

"We're going to send teams in, task forces, we're going to be opening up applications shortly"

"We want the brightest and the best"

Laura Kuenssberg, "So you'll come back and tell us how much money you will save"

Zia Yusuf, "Absolutely"

Laura Kuenssberg, "But at the moment you don't know"

I added a poll to one of the largest sites – Nigel Farage for prime minister – Britain Needs Reform – which has over 115,000 members. How would they like the country to be governed after the next election? In just six hours I had more than 1,000 answers.
Over 80% voted for a leader who could make laws without reference to MPs. That’s a chillingly large majority for abandoning parliamentary democracy.

Do Reform UK Ltd supporters really want a dictator?

It would appear that some Reform UK supporters would prefer a leader who rules without democracy
