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

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

If the form of the last ten is anywhere near repeated over the next nine they'll be there or thereabouts. Saw some saying we'd win every match, just the odd 21 game unbeaten run chucked in, as you do!

Absolutely. I'm confident the people above and the manager will be a lot more joined up in their thinking about the squad, and will avoid the unwanted shirt sellers, or past their best fading superstars of yesteryear. Couple of new midfielders and full backs and there'll be a much better look to it.

We were 11 unbeaten. Last defeated in December in the league. As expected the head loss has been generational on here. Some really do need to get a grip.

Itβs looking increasingly likely that Kristi Noem and Lewandowski funneled almost 200 million in government money to a company that is run by her friend and that nobody can give an address for.
Oh, and it was 8 days old when it was awarded the contract.

Yep. Pretty much nailed it on my thoughts further down the thread.
I can't get my head round why people think he'd be any good. It's like giving the Chairmanship of Tesco to the local newsagent. He's an agitator in charge of fringe minnows. Always has been.

Yeah. But I think he's been alienating the "it's time to give someone else a go" type moderates since his comments on ILR. This pettiness and baby trumpism style will see him fall further away IMO.

Yeah. I've been of the same mind for some time now. Nothing in his political career has illustrated he has the stamina for office. He'd absolutely hate the constant scrutiny, he'd lose out on millions and he wouldn't be able to swan off to point at distant islands at a moments notice.

Even more evidence that his head would completely fall off if he ever got near office.

Sanchez: βWe are not going to be accomplices to something that is bad for the world and that is also contrary to our values and interests, simply because of the fear of reprisals from some.
We have absolute confidence in the economic, institutional and I would also say moral strength of our country

If villa beat Chelsea and we win,CL is pretty much home and hosed. No way they make up 9 points on us in the remaining games.

This reinforces what we already know - Reform cronies are bankrolled by big oil, along with a lot of other βhigh profileβ people.
It feels like the tobacco industry lobbying & desperation all over again. Beyond shady.

The glibness. The indifference. The carelessness. The utter lack of planning for a war against a country of 90M. The sickness of a man who acts on whim that will kill thousands not hundreds. The horror of a regime that enables this sickness. The broken body politic that votes in such malignancy.

Yep. Three times the national average, apparently. Plus the people who voted for everyone else who are also unemployed.
You'd have thought it might have been something they would have campaigned on, if it wasn't just completely made up nonsense.

Sure. Almost 15,000 unemployed out of a constituency of 76,000. Plus the other unemployed from the people who voted for other parties.
Seems feasible.

Sort of getting the US to fix some of the problems it has just caused by launching the initial attacks.
The security of UK citizens, British troops in the region and coming to the aid of targeted nations asking for our help is the right thing to do and all legal means must be used.

International law allows for this sort of defensive action.
From what I understand, the UK itself won't be doing it, but the UK will be allowed to use British bases to carry out defensive action only to stop the missiles and drones from being fired. And nothing more.
