“My fellow Reform members and I believe that our young people should be protected from exposure to potentially harmful ideologies”
The whole f*ing Reform platform is a toxic and actively harmful ideology. Projection as usual from the far right.

Just in case it wasn’t obvious, the head of Kent Council is a Reform member.

I’d be tempted to just move the book back where it originally was myself if I happened to live nearby.

Turns out they lied, one book targeted at adults got moved from the welcome area to further back in the library. Truly an impressively incompetent bunch these Reform councilors.

Britain stood firm against the far right in the war.
Will we stand against Reform now?
