A Liberal Democrat councillor has warned that Labour is at risk of being “wiped out” while appearing on TalkTV. Carl Cashman, Liverpool’s leader of the Lib Dems, has said that his party will be coming at the party that currently holds government from the left, while Nigel Farage‘s Reform party are coming at them from the right.
While appearing on TalkTV, to chat to host Jonathan Gullis, Mr Cashman delivered a blow to Mr Farage saying that he is a “divvy”, despite being able to openly “speak his mind” – something that Cashman accused Sir Keir Starmer and his Labour government of being incapable of.

The Merseyside-based politician explained: “I personally think that Labour and Keir Starmer have cooked up a perfect atmosphere for Reform. I think their rise is down to the fact that people are just looking for some authenticity because, unfortunately, in today’s politics, we are lacking authenticity. Particularly from robot Labour politicians.
“Unfortunately, people have assigned that authenticity to Nigel Farage.” But then Mr Cashman went on to deliver a blow to the leader of the Reform party, adding: “You know, I’ll admit that while he speaks his mind, he is also a divvy that speaks his mind.”
He went on to explain that people of the country “want honesty” from their politicians as he added: “I don’t think Labour understand that.”

Mr Cashman then shared that he thought Labour’s downfall would be imminent, claiming: “I think if they continue to disregard that, then they will be wiped out on the right by Reform and they will be wiped out on the left by the Liberal Democrats.”
A recent poll, by Find Out Now, indicates that Reform under Mr Farage is currently the main threat to Sir Keir Starmer and his Labour party.
Days ago, Sir Keir admitted he was preparing to contest a General Election against Reform. He told his own MPs they now held a “moral responsibility to make sure Nigel Farage never wins”. “The Conservatives are not our principal opponent,” he said. “Reform is our main rival for power.”
