Reform state Starmer wants to silence us

Nigel Farage criticises 'cowardice of the political class' as elections in nine areas are delayed until next year (2026).

According to various sources including the Telegraph Starmer's deputy Angela Rayner has cancelled local elections this year for 5.5 million people possibly due to growing outrage over inflation exceeding council tax bills.

She announced, only days before it would have been too late, that elections in nine areas, including Surrey, Norfolk, Suffolk and Thurrock, would be postponed to allow for a reorganisation of local authorities.

The average tax Band D bill is set to rise by five per cent in these areas.

Angela Rayner is pushing through a colossal reorganisation of local authorities, with some district councils scrapped and merged into counties in order to produce new unitary councils. Presumably this type of "gerrymandering" will improve labour's unbelievable unpopular stance since they took over.

Nigel Farage, leader of Reform UK has said: "I thought only dictators cancelled elections". Well looks like he is wrong. Or is he?

Many critics have recently been accusing Kier Starmer and his mates of riding rough shod over all our democratic values.

Nigel has also vowed to "fight hard" in areas where elections will still take place, and stated: "We will put up a candidate in every single district that is up in the unitaries and the counties that are fighting on May 1.".

This could be a really tough problem for Labour who are probably as unpopular as any government in living memory. So when we now consider the donation scandal and other misdemeanours of this government denying the population democratic elections may be just one more nail in labour's coffin.
