Reform fury as someone else wins
by Our By-election Editor
Tim Shipsink
The losing candidate in the Gorton and Denton by-election, Matt Goodwhinge, has demanded an immediate re-run of the election on the grounds that he lost
comprehensively to someone else.
"It's totally unfair and rigged,"
said Goodwhinge.
"I shouldn't
be required to sit there and suck it up, just because I lost."
Mr Goodwhine continued, *I can't believe that all those voters I demonised failed to back me.
Especially after I was endorsed by Tommy Robinson and ten million Russian bots on X.
"We have clear evidence of family voting, where people voted in order for me to stop deporting their families."
Mr Badloser concluded. "I'm the victim of colour prejudice.
They didn't vote for me simply because I'm not green."
Reform leader
Mr Farage,
speaking from a sun lounger on a rock near the Chagos Islands said,
"It's a tragedy that the people of Manchester won't see Matt in Westminster, but my constituents don't see me in Clacton either."

PLUMBER DEFEATS
MATT GOODWIN

Beautiful from Private Eye on the massive toddler-tantrum that Matt Goodwin and Reform are having, because they got whooped in Gorton and Denton.

Boycott US products? New tariffs make people choose European products. Are we seeing a trend? | Tuta With the growing movement to boycott US products and services, more people are choosing European alternatives. Let’s take a look at the best European products you can use.

Make a difference.

Most Swedes aren't big fans of Stockholmers, referring to them as "08-ers" (the dialling code) and regard them as arrogant.

Something that hasn't been made clear: Firefox will have an option to completely disable all AI features.

We've been calling it the AI kill switch internally. I'm sure it'll ship with a less murderous name, but that's how seriously and absolutely we're taking this.

In the last few months of 2025:
Had to say goodbye to our eldest cat.
A good friend died.
My son spent weeks unconscious in Critical Care and very nearly died, thankfully he's very determined and recovering well.
So 2025 can fuck right off.

Myth - superstition that few if any believe.
Cult - superstition that hundreds or thousands believe.
Religion - superstition that millions believe.

Same shit, just different stats.

1. The European Parliament’s attempt to ban plant-based foods from being sold as β€œsausages”, β€œburgers” etc is a direct response to livestock industry lobbying. This is a short thread on how utterly bleeding ridiculous it is. 🧡1/6
