Evening Wrap Up on the 'Turquoise Tidal Wave' – HotAir

Woof. What a 24 hours so far.

As you saw this morning, Wales has fallen away from Labour, to a Plaid Cymru victory in the Senedd, with Reform UK charging into second place from what was basically a standing start for that party.





Not bad at all.

In England, someone’s going to need a very big mop to clean up after all the Labour tears.

There are still some councils outstanding who haven’t reported yet, but Reform has already banked a massive amount of seats – 1426 as the count stands at this moment.

The areas left will only add to that amazing total.

We’re waiting for results from 11 councils in England.

Here’s where we’re expecting results:

  • Bradford
  • Calderdale
  • Croydon
  • Lambeth
  • Haringey
  • Kirklees
  • Lewisham
  • Newham
  • Redbridge
  • West Surrey
  • Tower Hamlets

Reform even picked up seats in Scotland, which is a much harder nut to crack, and a completely incomprehensible parliamentary system to boot.

This has upset the usual suspects.





The Greens underperformed their projections, but they did pick up a mayorship they’re very happy about because it’s the party’s very first.

And you know woke-ass progressives are all about ‘firsts.’

She sure looks like a gem, too.

Well done, Hackney.

An interesting result in what could be Britain’s most ‘multicultural’ city outside of the capital has people wondering what’s in store going forward. Birmingham rejected Labor out of hand and went for Reform and the Conservatives (Tories), but together they do not have enough to form a majority coalition to run that 30% Muslim city.

Outside of gridlock, there are two scenarios being floated.

…Already the UK’s most problematic city, Birmingham could end up being a rainbow coalition of Reform, Labour and the Pakistani Mafia.

Good luck, fellas. You all be careful out there.

As for the figurehead standing tall among the wreckage, I do have to admit, I found this Xweet very confusing, reportedly concerning the ultimatum given to Starmer by Labour MPs.





He doesn’t have, ’til, say, Tuesday.

He has until CHRISTMAS?!

This can’t possibly be right.

Starmer’s cabinet is out defending Starmer’s line about ‘I won a five-year term!’ But no one’s falling for the Starmer in the tailpipe trick…

…and daring them to call a general election.

Others are just calling for Starmer’s head in general.

Brutal, brutal stuff.

And he is despised across the political spectrum





But the rules are so difficult that it really comes down to removing himself, and the pressure will be even more exponentially tremendous the longer he stubbornly dithers.

…The truth is that many of Starmer’s own MPs – and ministers – agree, and a rapidly diminishing number think that the Prime Minister can deliver the change the party needs. But Labour’s internal rules mean that removing a leader is difficult, especially if they are determined to cling on to power. And clinging on seems to be Starmer’s sole purpose in life right now.

As one senior Labour figure puts it: “Starmer isn’t going to resign, because he is consumed utterly by his own entitlement and belief that he alone can do the job. He will have to be dragged out of the building kicking and screaming.

“Downing Street will carry on insisting everything is fine, and the clamour for him to go will just keep getting louder and louder.”

And no one believes he has the intestinal fortitude to do it. Then again, no one wants to be the one to use the shepherd’s hook to drag him off, either.

…Far from taking time over the weekend to reflect on the enormity of Labour’s election losses, he told his audience at Kingsdown Methodist Church in west London that “in the coming days, I’m going to set out the steps that we will take to deliver the change that [the public] want and that they deserve”.

Unable to comprehend the possibility of his own demise, Starmer thinks that yet another “reset” speech, rather than actually doing something to improve Britain, is the answer.

There were no smiles or cheers from those wearing red rosettes, just faces showing concern, sympathy and pity.

They knew that as Labour’s gruesome election losses mounted, each terrible new result was like the beat of a drum slowly summoning Starmer to the political guillotine.

He will have to be led there though, so the question is: who will do it?





Starmer is a wanker.

BREXIT DID IT TO ME

Reform’s seat count up to 1244 now.

We’ll see what tomorrow brings.

Happy Friday.
