A veteran party agent recalled David Blunkett turning up to canvass for a by-election with a megaphone but he refused to accept this is old hat and voters now dislike them intensely. So they drove Blunkett around some fields.

I've just got that. I'm getting quicker.

Yeah, it took me a while too...

If Greens didn't care about their own power they wouldn't be running in Labour seats and from what I've seen on social media the attacks have been at both Reform and Greens, also as someone in reply says to them its not a two horse race.

How to write something without a single fact.

Which are both led by populists....

Big boys did it and ran away. No penalty for breaching electoral law.

Apparently the latest polls say it’s now neck and neck between Labour and the Greens in Gorton & Denton.

Greens say you should vote tactically for them to keep Reform out. Labour says you should vote tactically for them to keep Reform out.

How does any voter wanting to keep out the fascists decide who gets his/her tactical vote ?

The risk of letting Reform in seems to be very real. Which would be fucking awful.

Perhaps the best thing to do was to vote the way your heart’s desire - and your personal morality - tell you to.

The Greens winning would kick off all the #mustresign stuff again.

From a practical perspective it matters little - majority collapses to 157.


Of course a Reform win would be a "massive" event which the press will play up.
Until Nigel's next boat or pub related stunt around the Ides of March.

The Commons certainly doesn't need yet another Gobby Lying Cunt as a member.

But in the context of three years until an election, it's a small thing.


Even so, I'd love it if they came third.
