Newcastle United?

If, as Ed Davey would have it, Reform UK and the Green Party were both "extreme populists", then will the 25 Liberal Democrats who were once again the single largest Group on Newcastle City Council be refusing any arrangement either with the 24 Greens or with the 24 members of Reform? Or if a deal were struck with either of those, then how would Davey discipline such errant Lib Dems?

Far be it from me to advise the Green Party, but it should insist that any deal with anyone in Newcastle were conditional upon making Jamie Driscoll Leader of the Council. Which other councillor, exactly, would be better qualified?
