Birmingham Mail article on Lib Dem Quitting PartyThis will probably have more consequences for the 2026 local elections than the general election if it forms part of a new grouping that focuses on inner city wards. Khan noticeably doesn’t rule out working with Galloway and others. Will the Lib Dem’s put a replacement candidate up here? They have a strong presence in Perry Barr Ward locally so presumably they will.

That reminds of the Blazing Saddles incident where the villain, Hadley Lampard sets about recruiting the worst bunch of baddies ever. This included Mexican bandits, KKK men, bushwhackers, criminals, motorbike gangsters, Arab terrorists, Nazi soldiers, and Methodists. He interviews the prospective gang members by asking what the worst thing they have done. One answers: stampeding cattle. So what says Hedley? Through the Vatican, the applicant replied. |

It's always worth remembering that no-one likes Khalid but he always wins.

So that's 5 for the far-left/Islamist coalition, one in each of London, East Midlands, West MIdlands, North West and Yorkshire. Could have been worse in Birmingham

Independents win another seat, and WPB got close in Yardley. It could have been worse for Labour yes.

Could have been worse in Birmingham Ayoub Khan was a Lib Dem cllr before defecting, so not far-left, whatever else he may be, and I don't believe he's an Islamist either. His beef with the party was over Gaza, sure, but I'd caution over reading more into it than that. However, assuming he vacates his council seat, we'll have a tough by-election to fight, which will be a theoretical defence. |
