Tice dismissed the suggestion that his party had brought chaos to County Durham Council after two of its councillors quit, triggering by-elections and a third was suspended. "There's no chaos, there is success." 😂🤣😂 What would failure look like? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
Pyongyang speaks!
They also can’t find any cost savings that they promised so I’d class that as a failure as well
He’s on LBCs Ferrari every 5 mins
Which is why I never listen to Ferrari - Reforms personal lap dog
Ignoring populism is dangerous
Yeah but it’s better for my mental well being. Anyway you can’t ignore populism if you engage at all with MSM who are salivating at the prospect of the collapse of the country
That’s an odd definition of chaos 😏
RefUK got their council power 3 years too early. The voters of Co. Durham will not be impressed when it comes to the GE.
Deny and deflect.
I suppose it was a kind of success that they quit & haven’t , yet, been arrested for sexual offences .
It's like listening to Donald Trump spouting nonsense. Just because he said the words it doesn't make them true.
It's a microcosm of what the country would look like if it ever had the insanity to elect a Farage government.
I see it's under Local News. Shouldn't this be a national story?
What successes? Taking down rainbow flags?
"Deliver savings". Public money is there to be spent to benefit the public, and many of the services it pays for would be sorely missed. People complain nationwide that services are crap, the reason is underfunding, and these clowns want to *save* money?
What they're going to be absolutely shocked by is that, after decades of austerity, there is fuck all left. Bare bones statutory services. Anything they consider a waste of money either costs bugger all or is funding secured for a specific purpose from central government.
Was he asked to name the success or was he just allowed to spout unchallenged lies as usual.
He’s never challenged that’s the problem
🤦♀️
Tice and his ilk don't do failure. It's not in their genes Always feels like they spent time with the consulting arm of Accenture - 'every failure is just an opportunity waiting to be exploited'
This is their MO. Lie and lie and lie because they know the right wing media won't call them on it. He's not stupid, he's evil.
I mean, you don't want to go all Hitlers bunker with these guys, but it is all Hitlers Bunker Everything is great, nothing is going wrong, to suggest otherwise is wokery or remainerism etc etc And if this lot get in, he'll be Chancellor of the Exchequer
He’s even stupider than Farage!
@harrysword.bsky.social “there is no chaos, there is success!”
The good folk of Durham used to be reliably responsible… what on earth happened to them..!!? Less than clued up voters are a real problem.
“It’s just a flesh wound…”
Numpty2. Numpty1 was unavailable.
Reform UK Deputy denies 'chaos' in Durham County Council. Is a more accurate headline and explains things better to those who don't understand the use of quotation marks in headlines. The BBC going soft on Reform UK is the new normal.
Their best reform so far has been flag banning. Other things taking credit for were already in pipeline. It’s ‘a family affair’ with Darren Grimes, his mother and brother on the council. Unfortunately Thatcherite decimation along with cost of living etc means many are listening to the Farage message
Of course his mother's there. He can't be trusted to cross the road on his own.
The party that complains about local authority waste is now forcing local authorities to cover the cost of having more by-elections because their councillors weren't prepared to serve the public.
Just a preview of what a deformuk government would look like.
Yup
In the world of disaster economics, failure is success.
If your goal is to bring chaos to the country, then…
Chaos is the raison d'être for ReFUK! They’re the scab pickers, the shit kickers, the rumour mongers, the inciters, the fire starters, the back stabbers, the haters, the liars, the con artists, the grifters, the greedy, the arrogant, the instigators, the cowards, the I’m alright Union Jackers!
The Trump method. All you have to do is reassure the gullible faithful by saying the opposite of the truth and all will be fine. It's no surprise these people ran for election in right wing toilets, in any other places they'd be yelled at in the street on a daily basis for their BS.
In fairness, Durham is mostly pretty nice. Has suffered from decades of truly terrible Labour councils, but was making good progress with Lib Dem council - until Deform got in...
Was referring to their MP's so hopefully a dopey council won't add Durham to the list.
Any publicity is good publicity. Stop feeding the worms 🪱. The parasites love it
For Reform i fear it is success. Destroy local government capability and trust in government, ride the anger to power. Labour really needs to hammer home the message that this is Farage‘s rabble of racist incompetents, shame they are using one of those squeaky toy ones.
Was he asked for any evidence of this success? 'Success' seems to mean 'We have plans to...'.
What a joke party Supported by morons
If that’s truly success to tice I’d hate to see failure!! Idiot man!
Richard Tice is a train-wreck of a politician. Every utterance a howling cacophony of stupidity. He’s nothing but a Poundshop Goebbels.
Perfect description. Spot on!
Thing is, he’s not stupid. And he’s good at doing the one thing he has to do to be successful in this context: lie shamelessly and stoke partisan instincts that will let him get away with lying shamelessly.
Still think he's dim as a blown light bulb.
Have long thought that Herman Munster lookalike Tice is a weak link for Reform. Under reported how often his media hits turn out to be singularly disastrous.
Create a disaster and boast it's a triumph. Pure Trump.
Reform in power equals chaos Examples Durham Kent Warwickshire Leicestershire Nottinghamshire
The vast majority of that party are absolutely not interested in the act of governing, they just want to win whatever the vote is, plant a flag, and then fuck off back to what they were previously doing.
Yep.
