Councillor Bandna Chopra, who represents Hounslow West, has quit Labour after 20 years with the party to join Reform
If this guy thinks his political home is reform what the fuck was he ever doing in the Labour party?
This can only be interpreted as an attempt to save himself and keep his seat. I hope this flips to the Greens
Likely thought it was the best option for gaining his seat. Now he thinks otherwise.
Honestly when labour turned right wing. As a way to win elections. They opened them selves to members choosing them to win elections and nothing more.
He’s going to join the party that thinks he should go back to the country his ancestry is from?
It’s a bold strategy Cotton, let’s see if it pays off for em.
Yusuf is actively pursuing policies that would result in his deportation if ever implemented, and he’s the owner of the party. Cause and effect don’t really have causal relationships in their minds.
Oh I’m sure the people who voted for him are going to be thrilled with that choice. I’m sure he’s definitely going to keep his seat at the next election.
What is wrong with these people, why are we beholden to the world’s biggest idiots.
I was no great fan of Tony Blair but at least there was some attempt at competence.
Turn out is so lo for these local elections. Real idiots never get excluded.
If folks actually turned up to vote and paid attention to who was running. Things may improve.
But when high turnout locals still tend to be in the 10% or less of voters. Way lower for most.
Most councilors only have to rely on a few hundred loyal supporters at most to turn an election.
