Maybe she’s got confused by seeing so much blue on the electoral map. It’s confusing that Reform Light use a darker blue than Reform.

They lost 2 thirds less than Labour, or something. Thats a win 🏅

The word 'may' is doing a lot of work in the Telegraph. I'm not sure 'turnaround' has the meaning they'd like it to have either.

Every now and again Badenoch gets the tone exactly right

Yep, that's good. She sounds human.

I listened to all of this speech. She appeared, as ever, overly confident with an inflated sense of her self but for the first time ever, I could see why she was made leader of the party. I still don't like her but she did speak well

Perhaps she has at last succumbed to some coaching.

She could do with some massaging of her ego... to be less inflated.

I can see a coalition that includes the Tories and Greens being a huge success with no arguing.

The Lib-Dems will distract them with silly antics.

I think it may work better than you expect, they won't fight any more than reform were doing in any case. I know two of the councillors, one lib dem and one conservative, and they are excellent local councillors, they are there to help their constituents. Bear in mind that most of the reform councillors are tory defectors, only the reasonable tories stayed tory.

What I can't understand is Labour's position. They voted against the coalition candidate but they abstained on the reform candidate.

What's also interesting is that Reform and the Conservatives weren't prepared to work together. At the moment Reform would *need* the Conservatives to be able to form a government in a general election.

Reform probably would. What's left of the conservatives in Worcestershire would not want to work with reform because they know them. At a national level things may be different, but in here the conservatives I know would probably leave the party before working with reform.
