It's a three seat ward, at the last election at the last election was an All up which Lib Dems one 2 of 3 the seats and a Tories 1, the Tory stepped down.
So it's a Lib Dem gain but they would have expected it pick it up.

It's a multi councillor ward elected in thirds. The figures are from 2025 when an independent councillor won. The outgoing councillor won as Labour in 2022, no independent stood.

It's not just X, UK Reddit was often a beacon for bizarre takes and borderline racism a decade ago. While normally pretty liberal the activity level of the weirdos on there is a good indicator of how agitated the Far Right are.

The discourse on the mainstream UK political subreddits has been toxic to the bone on this incident. Trust in Police is through the floor and people just increasingly believe by default they are covering something up.
