The Morley Independents have their origins in a fall out by a former Labour councillor being barred from standing as a Labour candidate when the Town Council was set up. He stood as an MBI and won. The following year a former Liberal stood for the MBIs and won. Between 2004 and 2011 no party had a majority on Leeds City Council. Initially the Consevatives, Liberal Democrats and Green Party were in coalition but once the council decide to bulid an incinerator the Green Party left the coalition and the MBIs joined it. Since 2011 the Labour Party has run the Councl with a majority. Interstingly in 2015 Andrea Jenkins included in her manifesto a message from one MBI supporting her stance on planning matters (she was against a number of proposed developments- as were the MBIs).

However, if they defect to Reform they can't vote for Farage to be Tory leader, or am I missing something here? It is down to 'Ifs'! If the Conservatives are over 100 they will attempt the rebuild and I doubt Farage plays any part at all. If they are a bit under 100 there will be disorientation coupled with a bit of despair. The leadership election will be critical and Farage not part of it. If they are reduced to a rump of 50 or fewer it all depends if there is a charismatic potential leader available at all and prepared to stand immediately after Sunak resigns and if he resigns? And it depends on the character of the reminder parliamentary party? If it is the same divided whole but just much smaller, Woden can only guess what may happen. If it is clearly still wet, woke and tentatively One Nation it may be shunned by the rest of the right. If it is dominated by real convinced right-wingers, then a merger or reverse takeover, or hostile takeover by Reform may be on the cards. The new party to embrace both words (conservative and reform). Conservative + Reform = Conform |

Mark Sewards does give off 'professional politician' vibes - clearly well trained.
But having met him very briefly seems alright enough to me, based on incredibly limited experience.

Almost as nasty as it is unhinged. And she outs herself as a homophobe (though maybe that was widely known already?) |

That ad has to be against the rules, surely? It's the worst kind of imported American attack adverts.
