'Reform UK watch' launched by Ed Davey to hold 'Trumpian' councils accountable - 'People are very worried!'
Ed Davey has established a new national “Reform Watch" scrutiny board, bringing together local Liberal Democrat leaders in areas where Reform has taken control.
The initiative aims to take a "coordinated approach to opposition" and claims it will hold the Reform UK party to account.
The Liberal Democrats came second to Reform during last week’s local elections - winning more councillors than both Labour and the Conservatives for the first time ever.
Gosh, Ed wants a "coordinated approach to opposition," Presumably this new approach is intended to replace the old uncoordinated approach he was happy with until the recent council elections.
Ed Davey does highlight one of the intractable problems of UK politics though - people vote Lib Dem and so tacitly approve of his leadership. That's something worth worrying about.

So basically 3 Lib Dem councillors will have a Zoom meeting every couple of weeks, and there will be little requests in local Lib Dem news sheets and on the website for people to email in any examples of potentially spicy language or malpractice.
If I were Farage, I'd counter this by instructing all my councillors to talk about nothing for three weeks except the sub postmaster scandal.
Sam - good idea, hammer Ed on the sub postmaster scandal. Bring in the word Horizon too - "is that Jet Ski Ed on the horizon?"
The danger of Reform to all the other parties is that those parties "don't like it up 'em".
Reform are upsetting the cosy political club. "Oh dear, how sad, never mind."
Strange how quotes from loved comedies can capture the public spirit. Which may go some way to explaining how the quality of "modern comedies" is so dire.
Discovered Joys - it's not only quotes from loved comedies which are relevant.
Who can forget "You are the weakest link. Goodbye"?

DJ - that seem to be a major benefit of Reform success, the other parties "don't like it up 'em" and it's obvious.
Penseivat - so many weak links too, so plenty to go at.
