Denton and Gorton by-election - Green Party wins

[BigJoe#1]

Have you decided which bunch of fascists will secure your vote when you get the chance in the local elections?

Not Labour = fascists... nice one

 

[BigJoe#1]

No, whilst I am not totally impressed with Starmers government, he is at least taking small steps in the right direction to START to fix 14 years of self servatives ineptitude incompetence and corruption, and the Temu Tories would be even worse. But thankfully will NEVER form a government.

A list of all the qualities which Labour have achieved in 19 months in Westminster and in 26 years in Cardiff...

I think your last sentence resonates quite strongly with the current bunch of incumbents.... don't you?

There are plenty of non Labour and non Racist alternatives, including on the whole tories. Reform aren’t one of them though.

There's a great rant from Alistair Campbell on The Rest Is Politics podcast a few days ago asking those questions and more about Frogface and the UK Media.

Yeah. I heard it the other day

You seem to be blindly repeating the same old story that only Labour can beat Reform, without and sort of proof of it. Bookies and recent polls all put Greens as top and the only ones to stop them. Alot of people are very pissed off with Labour and Gwynne at the moment.

The polls say it is very close and the margin of error quite substantial. If Reform wins it will be down to those Labour voters who switched to the Greens - who will hang their heads in shame. Be loyal vote Labour.

Some of our Labour voters on here are a bit cultish aren't they!! Haha!

They would vote for Andrew Mountbatten Windsor (who denies any wrongdoing) if the **** wore a red rosette.

What and have a continuance and more of what we've suffered over the last 20 months....?

Really? Not for me thanks.

If Reform wins it will be down to those Labour voters who didn't switched to the Greens - who will hang their heads in shame.
See it's easy this isn't it?

Beyond daft.

 

[Phil1]

Beyond daft.

Really? From reading your and JCs posts I doubt there's anything they could do that would be bad enough for you to not vote Labour.

 

[BigJoe#1]

Beyond daft.

.... but sadly the truth, as has been said very cu(l/n)tish

Think he means that AMW’s way of life is more akin to the reform party than to stand as a Labour candidate. ;-)

Its worth knowing the only way to Chagos is by boat - a 6 day journey each way from Mauritius - Farage has no intention in being around when Goodwin crashes and burns

Were they ever expected to win though?

Greens beating labour to a safe left leaning seat would probably be a bit of a shock.

Reform winning would be very unlikely but seismic if it did happen.

Or to put it another way....

Greens not winning the seat would be a MUCH bigger fail than reform not winning it.

Well, thank you for thinking that (a) Labour would select Andrew M-W to be a member let alone a candidate, and (b) that he would get votes.

Beyond daft. (Notwithstanding the daft appointment of Mandelson.)
