Somewhat predictably, I suppose, I have already unfortunately seen one wise-arsed racist knuckle-dragger (or bot) on social media query why Labour is fielding “a Greek candidate”.

They come over here, after our jobs and our women, fecking Greeks.

Hmmm. Labour wasn’t “trying to block Andy Burnham”. It did block Andy Burnham. For absolutely sound reasons.

If Andy Burnham had been the Labour candidate, what would the Greens’ leaflet be saying then ?

Interesting it’s split between two diverse areas, I don’t think its particularly fertile ground for the Greens to be honest.

Galloway isn't putting up a candidate.

Since George's Bathist pals in Syria have been deposed his love affair with the region and Muslims has waned somewhat. He'd rather be mud wrestling with Steven Segal in Moscow.
He'll be backing Matt Goodwin.

The Greens might get Palestine voters, without Galloway there.

The party, led by George Galloway, said it was "in the best interests of the working-class" to withdraw from the election.

In a statement, it said it would not choose a candidate for the Greater Manchester seat from the four it had been considering.

At the general election in July 2024, Galloway's party got 10.3% of the vote and came fourth.
