โ€œOne shouldnโ€™t over interpret the resultโ€, but essentially reform have pretty much the entire right wing vote and still almost lost to the third party in the list

I love this

Here is the list of candidates in alphabetical order:

1) Sir Oink A-Lot (The Official Monster Raving Loony Party)
2) ...
3) ...

the BBC counted A-Lot as the surname, was this a deliberate decision I simply do not know, but I love it.

Dear Lucy
On the eve of the by-election, your Labour party spokesperson has admitted to the Huffington Post that a
Labour party leaflet has been delivered through doors with your imprint recommending a vote for Labour
by a tactical voting organisation which does not exist.
This is deeply troubling, it is actually lying to voters. Did you approve this? Do you feel the Labour Party
in government should be held to different standards in terms of honesty to the British public?
In your last letter to me you mentioned your โ€˜very extensive dataโ€™ and โ€˜having spoken to over a third of
eligible votersโ€™ which led you to an understanding that the by election โ€˜was a contest between labour and
Reformโ€™. Clearly this latest development only tells voters one thing - you will employ any type of
political deception (or in Urdu โ€œDhokaโ€ ) to win.
You will be very aware that all three real tactical voting organisations are recommending a vote for the
Greens as the best way to stop Reform. Lying to the voters, as you have been caught doing, raises the real
prospect that Reform will be the beneficiaries, something you have said that you donโ€™t want.
As this is such an important issue, for the sake of your own reputation, I would strongly urge you to
apologise to the voters of Denton and Gorton before the polls open in the morning.โ€
Kind regards,
Zack Polanski
Leader of the Green Party of England and Wales

Dear @lucympowell.bsky.social,

Why did you invent a fake tactical voting company to stop the Green Party beating Reform?

I'm starting to think your letters haven't always been in good faith...

infuriating, doing 230 yard carry drives onto mud, 160 yard 7i with a chip onto the green and then... still fucking it up and getting +2

Surreal round, hitting the ball better than I have in a couple of months, worst score in a couple of months.

Sure, but point blank ignoring the results of what is happening north of the border is lunacy - the results are classrooms where the teacher spends more time managing the children with needs than actually teaching. โ€œOh but theyโ€™ll have SEN assistantsโ€, who will be the first to go on budget cuts.

Yeah, the only bonus really is that the pub opens at 16:00, 15km to the pub, 5km home.

I can see blue sky, I have 20km to run today, I can't run in the mornings, I hate it, I just know that if I go at 16:00 that it'll piss down though.

I got to 6km and the heavens opened up, fucking soaked. The bridge Iโ€™d usually use to shortcut back at has two pedestrian crossings on it - double green men, fuck it - Iโ€™m carrying on and going to the pub. ๐Ÿป
