Potentially underplayed: Campaign energy

The Greens were everywhere yesterday. They were on road junctions in the rain (my photo), they were door knocking, they were the only party that stopped me in the street

According to my count from buses they had by far the highest number of signs in windows

So the candidate who left school at 16 with no A-Levels and who's spent her whole adult life vocational, manual jobs beat the ivory tower academic turned cushy media pundit, but you can be sure we'll still get plenty more casual description of the latter as "white working class".

Statement from Matt Goodwin,
UK candidate:


Reform


"Given the reports we are reading in
UK media about family voting and
sectarianism, I am deeply concerned
about the extent to which the Gorton
and Denton parliamentary by-election
is a free, fair, and democratic election."

Not just a loser.

But a bad loser.

The Green Party ran an incredible people powered campaign here. What a wonderful thing to wake up to. I’m a member of High Peak Greens just next door to G&D, I did some leafleting and met brilliant people from all over the constituency and the country who were part of this. I love Manchester 💚

That’s a beauty. My umbrella plants always end up covered in bugs somehow.

Macro photo of a brown stink bug in face view on a leaf, guarding a tightly-clustered bunch of eggs that are shaped and colored exactly like a full tray of dark beer with foam on top.

Finally, the bug is back with a round of the Guinness.

Reminds me of many a happy away day on the MFC supporters bus adding an O and removing an S from football club names in small but pleasing revenge for Middlesborough and Teeside. How we laughed.

Still call the baggies Wet Broom to this day.

Today I discovered that when Peter Sellers was going through a particularly paranoid phase in his life, Spike Milligan sent him a telegram saying "IGNORE FIRST TELEGRAM".
There was, of course, no first telegram.
