Beautiful news.
Labour said they were the only ones who could defeat Reform. Turns out they lied yet again and it was they who should have stood down their candidate.
I expected it to be close but they were demolished
I’d like to once again say “fuck BBC news” for painting Spencer like an idiot and for sucking off Goodwin
Quite a different result from what the polls were predicting.
turns out that people didn’t want
bluered toriesOr red ones!
oops
Nah it’s fine I’m new to UK politics and I have to say once you get past the surface differences, it’s still deeply confusing.
Excellent news.
Starmer can fuck off to Tel Aviv with his Epstein buddies.
The issue is that labor is competing with the greens, and this plays into Reform’s favor :-(
I just think it’s hilarious that Labour has for years been leaning on this “the Greens split the vote” line. Now that the shoe’s on the other foot, I’m betting they feel differently.
Also shows polls are bullshit

She told The Times: “Gorton and Denton is a beautifully diverse constituency, with thousands of residents who speak languages other than English.
I was like why would she do this? This is very unusual
The Manchester wards are on average 42% white and 40% Muslim, with 42% of the population either a university graduate or a current university student

ooof
Read this on the other site, very concerning
Polanski’s economic policies took 2 minutes of gentle interview pressure during his media love bombing first week in the job, and even under such a light touch he ended up responding that if he crashed the markets (which he 100% would, within hours) “well the markets are a tool of capitalism so maybe they deserve to go.”
The Greens will lie that they have costed plans and that it won’t harm the country until oushed to a point they cant defend anymore, at which point they snap to “well maybe we need to break everything and anyone on more than minimum wage deserves to suffer the cosequences of our Marxist LARP”
They fundamentally hate our country. They want to disarm us in the face of Russian war in Europe, they want to bankrupt us into a rotten commune of perpetual poverty (so long as it’s equally distributed poverty) and strip away all our national culture. They’ve made clear they believe in unlimited, open doors immigration and only paused that policy because it makes them completely unelectable.
They’ve consistently tied themselves to the division over Gaza, bolstered radical islamic sub-factions in British politics, and antisemetic groups. Running an election ad for this by-election in entirely urdu, overlaid with images of bombed Gaza and Starmer’s face? Unbelievable breach of standards.
These people have shown who they are just as much as the sleezebag, corrupt false-patriots in Reform, and I like what I am seeing no more. I am ashamed of my own generation for supporting them to this degree. The social media age has made our politics more stupid, and more unthinkably divided than ever before.
Looks like a proper shitshow in UK politics at the moment, then again has been this way for well over a decade now
You posted a YouTube video from some rando account suggesting that it was posted by the newly-elected MP, and then copy/pasted some other rando’s lie-ridden opinion. Everything you’ve shared here is at best irrelevant, and at worst misinformation.
I get that you’re sad that Reform lost, but they’re the wrong path for this country. Maybe one day you’ll understand that. The Greens ran on a platform of hope and community over division and fear and I’m absolutely thrilled that they beat Reform so bad. It renews my faith in humanity that we can make good choices in the face of divisive, hateful demagogues and that’s just awesome.

The actual videos are on instagram but I’m not on instagram, so I posted the video that had been copied from instagram
Here’s an article about them:
Goodwin described the video as “blatant sectarianism” and criticised it for not being in English.
Green Party sources told TOI: “We produced these videos to reach out to communities who speak these languages.
”The Urdu leaflet shows Spencer in front of a mosque and says: “Labour must be punished for Gaza”.
Just under 40% of Gorton’s population is Muslim.
I get that you’re sad that Reform lost
You think I’m sad? Reform is the worst party in the UK and Farage is one of the biggest jokes in UK politics of all time
It’s pretty clear I’ve touched a nerve so I’ll leave it there
I know I shouldn’t engage, but… actual troll?

This might be the oddest electorate I’ve ever seen tbh
