I’m no Reform fan. But my observation would be that if Birmingham (or anywhere else for that matter) was being run competently, Reform would not get a foothold.

Reform will go for areas where there’s pain and dissatisfaction with the incumbent leadership. Looks to me like it’s Birmingham placing a target on its own back?

It seems to me that what Reform say strikes a chord with a large proportion of the population, but it is done with a veneer of unpleasantness. That works for some, but alienates others. I expect they've calculated that their current approach is more likely to gather more support than showing a bit more kindness.
