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).

    I think the country has been up shit creek for years, pre-Brexit. Your statement can be used against you: look how bad the Greens governed their only cojncil. They didn’t even implement proper recycling in 10 years.

    Polanski is a populist helmet saying what do-gooders want to hear. As I said, Greens of 2026 are on a mad path.

      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.
