there is an Independent Residents Association who refuse to work with anyone and have ex NF members as councillors.
wonder if they should have given slightly more thought to the name and the acronym it creates...

I live in a very Labour street in Havering despite our ward being solidly Conservative. When the vermin are out canvassing the WhatsApp group goes off so we can all be ready with the abuse.Havering may well go to Havering Residents Association from vermin. Usually this results in residents jumping ship and becoming Tory councillors directly after the election in exchange for cabinet posts. Apparently this time round they have sworn an oath of loyalty to not cross sides. To make things more interesting there is an Independent Residents Association who refuse to work with anyone and have ex NF members as councillors.

A mate of mine is running for Labour in your ward I think (park, Newtown sort of area)?Every seat in Reading is up for grabs (iirc).
Greens making a big push to hold all 3 councillors in my ward. Lots of window posters.
Labour appear to have given up. Only a couple of boards and the candidates - whilst perfectly reasonable sounding - are young, inexperienced and out of ward from what I can see, rather than their past record of standing people prominent/rooted in (sections of) the community.
The rest of Reading? Dunno.
Yeah, the Labour candidates for Park seem like a decent enough bunch as far as it goes. But very different from their usual slate.A mate of mine is running for Labour in your ward I think (park, Newtown sort of area)?
We've had a lot of labour leaflets delivered on my side of the river and I also saw Matt Rodda MP knocking on doors when I was having a pint in the Fox and Hounds on Saturday. Not seen a tory (they haven't got the nerve) but also not seen a green or a lib dem. Not seen any posters in windows or placards in front gardens. Lots of Ukraine flags though.

Who are the ex NFers on the council? There are several residents groups listed.
Interesting turn of events in Elmbridge.
Well it's going to be interesting here, it looks like Labour could take over Worthing Borough Council for the first time ever, which is a shocker as they only won their first ever seat in a by-election 5 years ago.
Current make-up is Tories & Labour both on 17 (1 former LD), 2 LibDems, and 1 independent (former Tory), with 14 seats up for election this year.
LABOUR leader Keir Starmer says the party is on the brink of a “historic first” by taking council control from the Conservatives.
Campaigning in Worthing ahead of the local elections on Thursday, Sir Keir said the party has put forward a “positive case” for change and he is hopeful that Labour will win control in the town for the first time. He said: “It’s incredible that we are even talking about Worthing possibly becoming a Labour council, which would be a historic first.
“I think that tells you how far the Labour Party has come in the last two years and shows you the positivity of the Labour team here in Worthing and the positivity of the ideas. Worthing needs change and what people want here is a council that meets their local ambition, and that’s what a Labour council would do.”
Don't recognise him, who is it?Labour is taking it seriously, look who turned up yesterday to do a bit of campaigning.
