They told me if I voted for Kamala the US would continue to be involved in foreign wars, and they were right!

This is an illegal, unprovoked and brutal attack that shows once again that the USA and Israel are rogue states.

The UK must end our cosy relationship with the USA and our ongoing support for Israel.

When there are no consequences for the last bad thing, you'll get a next worse thing.

Discrediting the peaceful transfers of representation and power, is to subvert the fundamentals of a democratic polity.

The UK can't be dragged into another protracted Middle Eastern war by a US President.

Of course, it is unlawful.

Even the "pre-emptive" justification is half-hearted guff.

Of course, it is stupid.

Wise US politicians once realised a rules-based international order was in their interests. That is being thrown away.

And most of all, and regardless of the above, it is wrong.

Two of our allies have just started a war in the middle east for the hell of it.

No truck for the Iranian regime but let that sink in.

We are in Nietzschean times. Violent nihilism.

This is exactly it. I voted Labour as "the least worst option" for so many years. I'm not doing it any more.

Hannah Spencer walking into Westminster, sucking her teeth, tutting, and muttering "tell you what, you've had some cowboys in here."

You'd think Reform would be delighted that a white, working class plumber got elected and they beat the metropolitan elite university lecturer.

Both Donald Trump and his Slovene-born escort spent years calling for Obama’s birth certificate. I am calling for Melania Trump’s legal immigration papers: How did she get an β€œEinstein” visa for extraordinary abilities despite her blatant lie under oath about her college degrees?

In more good news, the far-right Advance UK party backed by Tommy Robinson received less votes in Gorton and Denton than Sir Oink A-Lot

Back down to earth again for the morning commute. DSB once again running a short train so it is rammed. Train services here are so bad.

What fantastic news to wake up to! Congratulations to Hannah Spencer and the Greens, but mostly to the voters who showed that we can still have hope in a better UK! Wonderful.

Came across the phrase "cognitive DDOS" to describe our present culture.

Understood instantly what it meant.

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 β€˜very extensive data’ and β€˜having spoken to over a third of
eligible voters’ which led you to an understanding that the by election β€˜was a contest between labour and
Reform’. Clearly this latest development only tells voters one thing - you will employ any type of
political deception (or in Urdu β€œDhoka” ) 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 don’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.”
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...

Labour Accused Of By-Election Dirty Tricks Over 'Fictitious' Tactical Voting Group A leaflet sent out on the eve of the crunch poll has sparked a furious backlash.

Remember the bullshit Tory HQ 'fact-checker' website run during the last General Election campaign? Well, Labour HQ has taken a leaf out of its playbook with a bullshit 'tactical voting' website.

Different rosette, same party.

For their next trick, Donald Trump will deliver the State of the Union address while Vladimir Putin drinks a glass of water.
