A thread for talking about the local, Scottish and Senedd election disaster results.

The Guardian has a live updating page where you can search for your council (or any other council you're interested in).

How are we all feeling? Depressed? Terrified? Vindicated? For me, I see no reason to change my view that Starmer should have resigned months ago. I'm also hoping Anas Sarwar goes with him (granted I'm writing this before the Scottish results have come in, I just think he's a dickhead).

Sounds like you think reform are going to win the general too, so I'm not sure how you're not agreeing with me, but okay. Like, you think the country isn't totally buggered in the event Reform wins? Because they've already shown how bad they are at governing, in the localities they've won seats in. Or, are you saying you think people are smart enough to see the smear campaign against Polanski for what it is? Because I've worked in IT too long to believe that myself.

    Polanski is a populist helmet saying what do-gooders want to hear

    If that's true, then there's really no hope. I'd try to fix it myself but I don't live in the UK anymore. I did try to convince some of my family but they want to be a researcher and a nurse, respectively, so they dismissed the idea of getting into politics 😅 Best I can do is hope for a miracle, I suppose.
