    A bunch Reform councilors resigned too. It’s weird how the media only put a price tag on the Greens.

      Yup, for comparison there were over 2000 new councilors elected at this set of local elections. 5 standing down is a complete non-story.

        also £100,000 for all Londoners is like £0.01 per head

      Yeah, you’re spot on

      No media outlets report on Reform.

      Green supporters live in an echo chamber.

Posts should be related to UK-centric politics, and should be either a link to a reputable news source for news, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think “reputable news source” needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread. (These things should be publicly discussed)

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
