They might unite behind the hardcore leftist Green’s

We wont know until they cast their votes .

Interesting.

I’m hoping there is a sufficient split allowing Reform in which is the other possibility

So do I.

And the reason those 30 councils will no longer be postponed...

Rupert Lowe and Restore.

But the UK's Deep State has plans for Lowe, doesn't it...

That sounds familiar, too...
