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 ?

Liar - said he was going to serve full-term as mayor, it's his "dream job"
Doesn't care about the people of Gorton & Denton, he's just using them as a route to No,10

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 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.

Reform will win on a split vote.

UKIP have announced that they are not putting up a candidate because they don't want to split the right wing vote and let in a communist. They really are the new raving monster loony party.
