We've gone on holiday by mistake.

And then the final one was a classic, an old classic, a bit like Bitcoin.

Allegations of financial misconduct linked to a COVID bounce back loan.

The old classics.

But yeah, whereas the Greens have had similar troubles, they've had two different people had to withdraw for saying that, first saying that the Golders Green ambulance at Arsenal was a false flag.

And then one upgraded it saying that the October 7th attacks there on Israel, they were also a false flag.

Both of those had to pull out.

So I think that speaks to the fact that, I mean, you've been covering this about reform.

You know, they've got in a lot of warm bodies, but not all of them competent warm bodies.

I can only assume that's Nigel Farage going, no, get away from me.

And that is Zach Polanski.

Back to local politics.

Yeah, and I think that's the thing you feel that on one level councillors have not got a great deal of control over lots of stuff.

Most of them are burdened by adult social care and that's where the majority of their budget goes and that limits their actions.

However, if it's stuff like getting your mate up the housing waiting list, then actually there are things as a councillor you can do.

The temptations that councillors feel are often in the sort of nepotism-y kind of variety, aren't they?

Well, talking, we now criticise reform and the Greens.

So let's talk about a really crap Labour Council and Birmingham.
