Denton and Gorton by-election - Green Party wins

[GH64]

Typos (no apostrophe, ta).

Typo’s is an abbreviation of “typographical errors”. If you’re an old fart like me.

 

[Vic]

Labour have sunk to some lows parking up next to polling station displaying that van about drugs and daughters turning to prostitution under the greens

Saying that my boss went to vote this morning and reform had a guy outside the station saying he had to check polling cards and who you were voting for, he told him to fuck off

In the good old days the PC at the entrance would have stopped him.

 

[Vic]

So what we saying if reform or greens win, does that make Starmers position completely untenable?

No, it's priced in after the last attempted coup.

Where is Gorten,???

AI tells me that the tenth book in the Gor series (Gorean Saga) by John Norman is Tribesmen of Gor, originally published in 1976.

You may be able to find a copy in your nearest (dis)reputable second hand bookstore.

 

[TinFoilHat]

The fucking irony of the reform **** on Sky accusing labour of creating sectarianism....

Tell that to the Greens as they can't spell
Thank you my old geek

I'm not a big fan of Sky, but:
"As the polls closed at 10pm, asked for a prediction, one campaign chief told Sky News candidly: "f*** knows.""
at least shows a genuine Manchester response.

Dr David Bullshit on Sky News. Waiting for the Green rep.

 

[Don Karleone]

A lot of noise about a Green win. Let's fucking hope so.

 

[Blue Lemon]

I'm loving the SKy

A lot of noise about a Green win. Let's fucking hope so.

Looking that way.
I'm loving the shots of bored ballot counters with nothing to do and the voiceover saying "Here at a very busy count..."

Compare and contrast the media coverage if they do.

It will be all about "Pressure on Starmer" and alleged vote rigging.

If Reform win:

"The electorate are longing for the change offered by Nigel Farage..."

Maybe it's a typo and he was referring to the nosy battleaxe looking for local gossip?

Without a doubt.

Tbh imo if there was a Muslim independent standing , the Greens vote would have been no where .
Im not Reform or any of the others
Just an observer however ,
This will I think spell the end of Mahmood and Sweeney to name at least 2
Starmer I think will be looking at stepping down also?
We shall see

 

[Vic]

She seemed angry at the way Reform campaigned, highlighting misogyny and possible racism in the Reform candidate. She did sound pleased though, but more that Reform weren't in the lead.

Never understood how anybody could know what the current count was, do they have people overseeing and reporting back on the count?

Party observers watch as the ballot papers are emptied out of boxes. As they're put in piles, the X is visible on each paper. Not easy with so many candidates, but counting just a sample from each ballot box and scoring the main candidates will give a good indication.

I think "nowhere" is an exaggeration, but it's certainly true that they have benefited from the Workers Party standing down.

There’s a lot of copium being used tonight because the candidate that they would never dream of backing might have lost.
