It seems it could have been a lot worse. The actual underlying numbers (grateful to Peter Kellner here) suggest the air is already going out of the #ReformUK balloon, they seem significantly down on last year's results in terms of proportion of seats won. Only two (so far) councils have been won by them - people are seeing their record in power and starting to turn against them. As it was with the BNP before, so it is with #Reform.

@underseamonkey@fosstodon.org I still don't understand why so many are taken in by ReformUk Ltd. Mind you, they are helped by incessant coverage in our media, especially by the BBC.
