What's he going to do? Proscribe the Green Party?

The voters realised that Labour exists not deliver change but to prevent it.

Another world is possible. #greenwin

LABOUR CAUGHT CREATING FAKE TACTICAL VOTING WEBSITE

A Warning: there is no tactical voting site called "Tactical Choice"
If you choose to vote tactically it's important to seek independent, impartial advice. And always check the source online, as printed leaflets could be out of date, or even intentionally misleading.

On the eve of the Gorton & Denton by-election the Labour Party have invented a fake tactical voting organisation to put on their leaflets.

Lying to voters is all they have left.

All the (real) tactical voting organisations agree: only a Green vote can stop Reform on Thursday.

Instead of Burnham, Labour have anointed Angeliki Stogia for #GortonAndDenton.
Yet again, they try to force a corporate stooge (a lobbyist) into office instead of someone who stands for the rights + wellbeing of citizens.
She was IDed as a lobbyist in 2024

Decent homes standard for UK private renters delayed by government until 2035 Campaigners pushing for 2030 deadline said deferral was β€˜denying renters the most basic standards in our homes’

Will those Labour lickspittle backbenchers be boasting about this? Our political system lets lobbyists set policy and this government is never going to change that. www.theguardian.com/money/2026/j...

Shame for hopes of #proportionalrepresentation. Labour right would rather lose the next General Election than risk someone who isn't under their control. Which clears the way for @greenparty.org.uk to win a parliamentary by election for the first time.

Google who used to have the motto 'don't be evil' fund and own Nigel Farage. For quite a cheap price. They'll be hoping he looks after them if he becomes PM.

Labour councillor thinks that the murder of a woman - with plans that political parties in the UK are specifically looking to emulate - shouldn't be political.

Labour have no intention in every challenging the far right - which is why they'll be next to follow unless we stand up to them.

Maduro has been kidnapped by the US government so that they can help themselves to Venezuela's oil. Gangster state.

Useful to know that Hislop will probably try a take down on the show based on untruths and misinformation. He isn't the kind to embrace hope and compassion. The ultimate cynic.

Amazing news. Jamie has a fantastic track record, an inspirational figure who has proved the value of municipal socialism and community wealth building. He knows the Green Party are now his natural home. This is exciting.
