I've been test printing possible products on my new Cricut.

Labour have sunk in the polls & no longer have enough support to beat Reform in the Gorton & Denton by-election or across the country. The Greens support continues rising, with people switching from Labour especially. Voting Labour in Gorton & Denton will let Reform in.

I know it's a fraction of the constituency, bit on my walk to and from the supermarket, I saw another Green poster board, and nothing for any of the other parties. With my board, that's 2-0s.

Getting lots of desperate Labour ads on YouTube.
Does it cost them more if I watch the advert all the way through, or can I just skip and they'll still be charged?
They're wasting their money, either way.

Cat sat at a window staring out. The photo has been taken through a glass decanter stopper, so she's upside down and distorted.

Hundreds of volunteers hitting the streets this morning in Gorton and Denton.

Lower bills, tax the super-rich- hope will win.

Only the Greens can stop Reform in this by-election.

Got back from a week and a half in Cumbria to find this in my front garden.
Go Greens!
(It's typical that the most exciting thing to happen in Gorton whilst I've lived here started on one of the rare occasions that I was somewhere else.)

If the Greens defeat Farage in Gorton and Denton, it'll change politics forever. I think that's worth donating a few quid to, don't you?

UK PEOPLE: this is REALLY IMPORTANT. If the government bans under-16s from using VPNs, then logically they must intend to REQUIRE AGE VERIFICATION FOR ALL VPN USE. Which will affect adults too!

Reminder that the Daily Telegraph and Daily Mail editorial pages exhibit a human version of what AI calls "model collapse"β€”if you feed a language model its own output its output rapidly deteriorates into self-parody. The owners of the right-wing press read their own media and it rotted their brains.

I'll be out leafleting when I get the chance.
I may also shoot a few videos from the campaigning. It's not going to get as much coverage as it would have if Burnham was running, but it'll still be an important election.

Creating opposition to the actions of the state or a political cause is rarely about changing the mind of 'the other side'.

It's about making time- or information-poor people aware of the horrible shit. The 'undecided centre' is rarely neutral. It's underinformed, consciously or subconsciously.
