I was puzzled as to why the comrades on social media were having a dig at the Green candidate for having a partner who worked for Big Pharma giants AstraZeneca. Then realised they're Reform bots, its not just racists who join but anti-vax nutters as well.

This is why I couldn’t be a candidate in that by-election. I’d have to respond that I don’t have a favourite Oasis song, because Oasis are shite.

Explaining that you have different cultural hinterlands is fine but Reform candidates are likely not to have any.

The Labour candidate had a local zeitgeist video made for her.

Of course they're happy to be associated with them; underneath the smiles and the smart suits they think exactly the same.

Let’s face it, Goodwin isn’t hiding it that much.

The Green's winning might not be a bad thing. It would cause Reform supporters to have a wake up call and push some towards Restore, it would also prove that voters do care about environmental issues.

The current Green Party doesn't really focus on environmental issues.

No guarantee of that or of Labour winning if the Greens didn't run.

I wouldn't blame the Greens if Reform win. At the end of the day its down to the voters of G & D and if they put Goodwin in it's on them for electing a grifter that will do fuck all for their constituency for the next three years.
