Isabel Oakeshott reports from a dangerous war zone that somehow isn't London.

Amid rising alarm over suspected pollfraud, Reform leader says allowing non-British citizens into ballot booth threatens democracy FOREIGN-BORN VOTERS STOLE BY-ELECTION BLASTS FARAGE that Reform UK was robbed of victory diary assertion in today's Mail on Sunday by foreign-born voters in last week's that 'Reform UK won the Gorton and Denton By Glen Owen Manchester by-election. by-election among British-born voters'. Amid mounting allegations that voter, fraud And he vowed that if he becomes Prime Pages 16-17 POLITICAL EDITOR and sectarianism contributed the Grecn

Truly, truly, truly disgusting.

Keep this Trumpist race baiting out of British politics.

The Foreign Office have issued official advice for UK citizens who now live in Dubai:
"You're on your own you tax-dodging bastards! Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha!"

A useful record of Farage’s failure and his inability to cope with it. A cheat and a very bad loser who would happily trash democracy to get the result he wants. And then remove our rights to stop us holding him to account.
Such a corrupt, egomaniacal liar should have no hope of getting power.

Really concerned to hear the Defence Secretary refuse to rule out UK's involvement in future strikes on Iran.

Iraq lessons must be learned.
Further escalation in the Middle East makes us all less safe.

Starmer must rule out UK involvement immediately.

This is crazy. Surely by now the government must realise it will not achieve decency over division by trying to be Reform Lite?

Greens hit out at Nigel Farage accusations of cheating. Party Spokesperson: "This is an attempt to undermine the democratic result and is straight out of the Trump playbook. We've just won a historic by-election by a comfortable margin."

Starmer telling Labour MPs today that the Greens are "divisive," "sectarian," and "not the kind environmentalists they pretend" is not going to go down well with the millions who now back Greens. It'll simply tell them Labour doesn't hear us. More tin-eared stupidity.

This is terrible from Starmer. Just absolute trash. And any normal voter looking at the new MP and then reading this description will think him mad.

Zack Polanski, "Keir Starmer is never going to appease the right by slowly moving to the right"

"They just get worse and they drag the government with them"

"I wouldn't be bothered except they're the government of this country and they're dragging us all down with them"

This is all the Temu Trump cunt could muster? Risible nonsense.

No wonder he only appeals to fucking idiots.

”Farage claims Green party win in Gorton and Denton evidence of 'resurgent hard left'”

🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽

Spectator headline "The Green party is playing with fire in Gorton" by Ed West.

Dunno Ed, if I had to pick a party in Gorton that's "playing with fire" I think I might take a closer look at the Blood and Soil chaps micro-parsing who gets to call themselves English and flirting with Great Replacement Theory, not the nice Greens lady encouraging brown people to vote.

"I really want to encourage more people from backgrounds like mine to get into a system that has always shut us out."

Hannah Spencer MP: plumber, plasterer, parliamentarian

@zackpolanski.bsky.social : "Once again Reform are spreading misinformation & smears, and the press & the media seem to repeat them.. its really important that the media.. take responsibility so when Reform or Farage says something they don't just keep repeating it"👏👏👏

But seriously. We are back! Next week we start shooting #bbcghosts the movie! Huge excitement in the camp, lots of splendid people joining us.

2026: Chairman of Reform UK says the Green party issuing leaflets in Urdu is appalling

2016: In 2016 Vote Leave published leaflets in Urdu, Punjabi and Hindi

My main conclusion from Gorton and Denton so far is that the punditocracy has little idea of what’s going on. They are as invested in, and connected to, the old system as the old parties.

Thank god. A great win for Hannah Spencer and the Greens, for #GortonAndDenton and for progressive voters. Made even greater by the huge Reform sulk. And the fact that the hateful Goodwin got whooped.
Now Labour, look to your left because you will not win from the right. We’re sick of that failure.

@zackpolanski.bsky.social : "Reform are finding their anti migrant & divisive rhetoric is not working anymore. I think people are sick of it and want solutions.. Farage doesn't have any of those solutions because he pretends to be a man of the people but he's a man of the wealthy people.."🎯

obviously today is a huge embarrassment for Matt Goodwin and for Reform, which is something that we absolutely ought to celebrate, but we must also remember it's a huge embarrassment for Morgan McSweeney and Maurice Glasman and all the Blue Labour weirdos, and that's important to celebrate too :)

Green party wins Gorton and Denton byelection, pushing Labour to third place in blow to Keir Starmer Hannah Spencer elected as party’s first MP in northern England, as Labour sees a 25.3% drop in vote compared to 2024

Thanks goodness. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

'Our reaction to Nadiya Hussain proves we’ve forgotten what matters' The chef has lost her BBC gig and is now working as a classroom assistant. Why are people laughing at her choice instead of praising her, asks Neil…

Nadiya Hussain and why our values are completely back to front

The TV chef lost her BBC gig and is now working as a classroom assistant. Why are people laughing at her choice instead of praising her? Isn’t teaching children one of the most valuable roles in society?

In @heraldscotland.bsky.social

Andrea Jenkyns who asked for an extra £147k to help answer emails has been posing with a fake "budget box" because yes that's a totally normal thing that regional mayors do.

A female MP at that.
Violence against women and girls is on the rise yet they blame immigrants for that.
Has Farage, Yusuf and co condemned this yet?

Reform’s Deputy Leader for Lancs CC Simon Evans who posted an image saying a n MP should be shot has said it was a genuine mistake.

The text is directly above the image & he even reposted it yesterday.

This vile buffoon is responsible for a £1.2bn budget,
