Good morning.

Good morning. Hannah Spencer is the new MP for Gorton and Denton after the Green party’s first ever parliamentary byelection victory. In a bitter blow to Keir Starmer, Labour were pushed into third place in a constituency the party has represented for nearly a century. Reform’s Matt Goodwin came second, as Nigel Farage claimed the result was “a victory for sectarian voting and cheating”.

I see Fartarge is still following the orange oafs playbook slavishly!

@MAJ1 Morning bud. Yes, all British politics is a big joke now. Less than 50% turnout for this important by-election. No one wanted any of the 'main' traditional parties, they've mostly become error ridden, mistake making buffoons who treat the electorate like idiots whilst lining their own nests. The Green Party won by default as they have the least sleaze and mistakes as they've not had chance in power to make any yet. Well that's just my opinion of course.

@MAJ1 @kibcol1049 Which seems a very strange thing to do at this point in global fascism's narrative arc but if he's still taking orders and money from 'far, far away'-land they may not yet be aware of how badly the Epstein story is playing out here. He looks a dick.

@statsguy @MAJ1 @kibcol1049 It started last night when Goodwin talked about ‘family voting’. #Farage has continued it today with (unsubstantiated) accusations of cheating. He needs to be forced to produce his evidence, or sued for slander.

️@kibcol1049 I have to agree with most of that - time will tell if the Greens end up suffering from ultimate power corrupting ultimately!
I had to laugh when the BBC described Labour as left wing! Catch up political editor of the Beeb - Not any more!

@HarriettMB @MAJ1 @kibcol1049 The whole family voting thing is very weird. Apparently it was raised by "independent" election observers (I have no idea how independent they actually are), but they didn't raise it until it was too late to do anything about it.
They could absolutely have raised it with the election officials at the time, and the fact that they didn't just smells a bit off.

@HarriettMB @MAJ1 @kibcol1049 And although family voting is a crime, it looks like the election observers didn't report it to the police either.
Definitely seems fishy.
Reform UK reports by-election 'family voting' concerns to police
It comes after election observers raised concerns about "extremely high" levels of family voting.

@statsguy @HarriettMB @MAJ1 It's their job, the reason they are there! Amazing failure on their part.

@statsguy @HarriettMB @MAJ1 @kibcol1049 GB News initially tried to report the statement as coming from the Electoral Commission and then spun the stats to say that 12% of votes had been affected. 32 not being 12% of 545 and 12% of the observed vote not being the same as the whole vote, this is ridiculous and worrying. The standard of what passes for reporting on GB News should be censured.

@MAJ1 I've just worked out the Green Party got just less than 20% of the total possible votes. Not that impressive, but highlights just how bad everyone else did.
-
@Cyclist @HarriettMB @MAJ1 @kibcol1049 Of course it did. Would go against Radio 4 policy to challenge a Reform person for talking bollocks.

@JustinMac84 @HarriettMB @MAJ1 @kibcol1049 True, but at least we all know that GB News is a bollocks-spouting machine, so we can happily ignore anything they say.

I'm pretty sure if my husband accompanied me into the voting booth, the officials there would have something to say about it -

@statsguy @HarriettMB @MAJ1 @kibcol1049 hang on, so we have 'family voting' followed by the usual dog whistles, are refuk now saying that muslims / forriners in general would have all voted for them except they were coerced by family members? they really dont think beyond the first lie do they

@ASprinkleofSage @statsguy @HarriettMB @MAJ1 @kibcol1049 Or they are delusional. Either way, they aren't fit to sit in the House of Commons.

@ASprinkleofSage @HarriettMB @MAJ1 @kibcol1049 They were also complaining that the Greens published election leaflets in Urdu. The subtext there is clearly that they don't think Urdu speakers should be allowed to vote.

@statsguy @ASprinkleofSage @MAJ1 @kibcol1049 Didn’t Andrea Jenkyns of #ReformLtd announce a couple of days ago, that she is cancelling all English language classes for foreign people in the constituency of which she is Mayor. Instead she’s putting the funding into something else.
