Tories had a surge here, doubling their vote share from 10 to 20%, but still failed to win a seat. They were the only party to oppose the proposed Cambridge congestion charge.

UKIP on brink of wipeout after losing all seats in local elections
UKIP has lost almost all of its councillors, as the Eurosceptic party struggles to redefine itself.

Crazy that a one-trick pony party - all about destroying a supranational entity ever got purchase in local elections - but I would guess that most people who even bother to vote are not focussed on local issues. I know I'm not.
So it seems UKIP's replacement loony party won all its six seats in Derby.

I spotted them earlier, they were listed as Reform Derby and their manifesto/website was primarily locally focussed

Sorry I should have quoted your post.
I watched an undercover thing about the whole thing - football violence and BNP connections, pig parts buried in mosque foundations etc ...
Must have been Derby ...
Tice featured in it...

They are populist ragbags. Not sure why they polled well in Derby tbh and I haven't looked at Reform manifestos in other places so can't say whether the focus on localism was a general tactic or specific to Derby. Can't see them doing well nationally at a GE though tbh.

Had a good chat with some older people (70+) in a chemist today while I was waiting for stuff - absolutely no love for the tory cunts round here even in that age group.

Well, Yapton is just up the road from me, here in West Sussex.

Shame there was no elections this year for the ward of Chelsfield & Pratts Bottom.

Wreake Valley was mentioned during my Best Man's speech at my wedding. I know Barrow upon Soar well enough. And we always drove through Old Leake (and Wrangle) when we went on holiday to Skegness as nippers.
Tardebigge is not far from where I live now as are the Lickey Hills.
There's a 600km bike ride which I've ridden a few times that used to be called "To Holl and back" because it went through Holland Fen. It also goes past Misterton.
The rest of the place names are obviously made up though.

So many particulars. So many questions.
I pass through Earl's Barton (thats a word that denoted barley farm once) on the bus. It stops near Titley Bawk Avenue. I used to visit my nan driving through places called Upper Slaughter and Cold Ashton. Wickerman vibe names. Twee and something dark. Ridiculous country

Barton in the Beans should have got a mention.
Is that before or after Barton in the Cheese?

That's right. Just over Barton on the Toast.
