Fixing Broken Things Standing Up For What Matters In Gorton & Denton

Yes. Hannah Spencer MP: “Because looking after each other and looking out for each other, that is what makes us, us.” open.substack.com/pub/lewiscal...

Hannah is so amazing. Can’t wait to see her at the North West Green Party meeting in Manchester tomorrow!

Trump fires homeland security secretary Kristi Noem Markwayne Mullin, Republican senator and Maga ally, to replace Noem as Democrats cheer departure of ‘disaster’

About damn time. Unfortunately, her replacement, Markwayne Mullin, is also a feckless racist Nazi who violates the Constitution every times he opens his mouth, and he is even stupider than Noem. I am therefore certain that his Senate colleagues will happily confirm him.

Cool I think I just learned how to say “Vote Green” in Welsh

Zack is so gracious, and Mahmood is such a disgrace. Every day she is in the Home Office is another day that Britain is violating the 1951 Convention on the Status of Refugees, which clearly says IT DOESN’T MATTER WHAT KIND OF BOAT YOU CAME ON, BECAUSE YOU’RE A REFUGEE

Viscount Rothermere’s Daily Fail: proudly supporting British fascism since 1934. Now slandering a Jewish party leader who bravely opposes the Zionism to which all other British party leaders seem to be committed.

Congratulations Lionesses! You’re off to a great start! Now let’s get Putin out of Ukraine so Ukraine’s lasses can play on their home turf. A fair fight is Proper English. open.substack.com/pub/lewiscal...

I got home Thursday night, told my wife what an amazing day I’d had, and passed out. I had a nightmare that Goodwin won because all the Greens voted Reform. Clearly my unconscious mind visited an entirely different Denton to the one my conscious mind visited.

In 1934, Viscount Rothermere, owner of the Daily Mail, published this infamous editorial in support of Oswald Mosley’s British fascists. Today, the Mail is owned by the 4th Viscount Rothermere. This is why the one argument I had on polling day was with a Mail reader open.substack.com/pub/lewiscal...

Let us all join with the Hero of Harehills and consign these Islamophobic Tories and Starmerites to the dustbin of history.

The American left are, of necessity, far more cautious than the British left. When “The American Prospect” announces that the Greens have written Labour’s epitaph, we should pay attention.

Pretti Good Time For A Revolution Righting the Bill of Wrongs in Minneapolis

She is unfortunately taking fashion advice from the recently defenestrated U.S. Border Patrol Gruppenführer Greg Bovino, who was, incredibly, too awful even for the Trump regime. open.substack.com/pub/lewiscal...

I have seen several party leaders look “rattled” this week. Zack is not among them. Also, how much cognitive dissonance does it take to argue that a party’s “seismic” electoral victory points to its inevitable downfall?

Ordering machine at the ASDA café in Hyde was malfunctioning last Thursday, so the overworked cook had to take my order manually. Egg and chips and a large black Americano gave me the strength to get back to work in South Denton.

Farage emulating ‘his hero Trump’ in deriding byelection results, says new Green MP Reform leader says without evidence that his party’s candidate came first among UK-born voters, as Hannah Spencer takes seat in parliament

Farage insults the hardworking people of Gorton & Denton: "I’m not sure anyone who votes Green works.” At a busy polling station in Denton at tea time Thursday, I saw many people stop on their way home from work to vote for the woman who fixes their toilets.

The successful candidate will speak fluent working class Northern.

The French and English languages actually have a lot in common. Many of the most important words are similar or even identical. When you say “la victoire contre le fascisme est possible,” Manchester understands you, and it makes us happy.

“Dirt” discovered on Hannah Spencer so far: (1) loves dogs, (2) took a holiday once, (3) has the untidy hair of someone who actually works for a living.

Yes. And now everyone in Britain knows that Labour’s “don’t waste your vote on Greens, only we can beat Reform” is utter rubbish. That means even more voters will switch from Labour to Green.

The Guardian has been a solid Labour paper for 60 years, it might take them a minute to understand what has happened. They’ll get there, and/or someone will start a paper that reports what the British working class are actually saying and doing.

Hannah Spencer, to the men hanging flags on lampposts: “if you’ve got the time and the tools and the skills, and at the moment you’re just putting flags up, please, give your head a little wobble, and then come and join the rest of us, who are actually trying to get our country back."

No worries! The Green Baroness herself assured me that I was welcome to join, so I joined on the spot!

Thank you for your kind words about my essay. I had a lot of fun writing it. Being Green has been an amazing experience so far. I’m so glad I joined the party, and the Party!

I am confident that the Member for Gorton and Denton—a constituency that is 44% non-white Britons and 54% white Britons who get their tea at Sue’s Chinese chippie, 167 Mount Road, Gorton—will vote “no” on this.

Zack Polanski points out that the Supreme Court’s decision only applied to a single law, the Equalities Act 2010, but the Starmer government chose to apply this transphobic decision to every British law. “That’s not how the Supreme Court works,” Polanski says.

Personally, I would love to see the Labour government lift a finger to help all the working class British tourists who get thrown into Trump’s ICE gulag for weeks on end, but apparently they’re more concerned about helping rich British tax exiles.

I was at a polling station in South Denton at tea time and it was actually quite busy, because everyone was stopping by on their way home from work to vote for the woman who fixes their toilets. So why don’t you fuck off back to the Maldives on your private jet, you pathetic little man.
