Interestingly, despite all the senior #RedTories being thrown at the #WECA mayoral election, the Greens are still the front runners, with the Tories in fourth place behind the repugnant Arron Banks.
The #RedTories are throwing all their big guns, Keith, Rayner et al., at the West of England Combined Authority mayoral election.

"Voters appear to be in a restless mood as Labour faces its first electoral test since its landslide general election victory. #ReformUK is surging in the polls and the #LibDems and #Greens are also seeking to capitalise on voters' apparent disenchantment with #Labour and the #Tories in English local elections."

@HarriettMB I received my polling information for the #WECA mayor yesterday.
I'm disappointed to see the poll has been changed from STV to FPTP.
At least STV ensured the winner got over 50% of the vote.
Thanks, Tories.
Q: Who can I vote for?
A: A #racist Tory, a blue Tory, a red Tory, a green Tory, a yellow Tory and a colourless Tory.

"Brexit campaign donor and now Reform UK candidate Arron Banks stood by his 2017 comments describing Bristol as a “little Somalia.” He then blamed Somalians and Romanians for crime in the city. He also said that the role had very little power and there wasn't much that whoever won could get done."
The only reason Banks can have sex without paying is because he married an east European immigrant.
Bloody hypocrite and #racist.

"Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has urged the public to "vote for change in your community", as he launched Labour's local election campaign for England."
The only change my community is likely to see is the election of a new Metro Mayor to replace Labour's two jobs (MP and mayor) incumbent, Dan, Dan the Vanity Man Norris.

I wouldn't trust Arron Banks to run a bath, let alone a combined authority.
He's already done enough damage with #Brexit, not to mention hounding Carol Cadwalladr through the courts.
A real nasty piece of work.

" I know how important arts (and) creative industries are to regenerating an area. And this is a classic instance of how a part of Bristol that for a long time, ignored and forgotten and really struggled, was completely transformed."
It was a solid working-class area before it was *transformed* with trendy bars and overpriced food shops, you muppet.
