The Green victory in Denton is the result which will have the biggest effect on Labour, far more so than a Reform win.

The blithe assumption progressives have nowhere else to go has been proved catastrophically wrong.

Canโ€™t help thinking of this quote from a Labour minister, a year agoโ€ฆ

I specifically asked you to point me in the direction of where you talked about Labour's misleading tactics in Caerphilly and you've done so, so thanks for that. At no point did I say you hadn't written about it

I still disagree with you that the Greens' leaflet was misleading. We'll leave it there

Gorton and Denton by-election: Zack Polanski urges 'hope over hate' Zack Polanski joined candidate Hannah Spencer, a councillor and plumber, on the campaign trail.

Reform Vs Green.

Hate Vs Hope.

Hundreds and hundreds of people out on the streets today making sure hope wins.

I'll admit to not having read much of your work but I really hope you showed the same energy towards Labour when they posted blatantly misleading bar charts during the Caerphilly Senedd by-election last year

Happy to be pointed to the Bluesky/Substack posts where you did just that

You'd have a point about it being misleading if the Greens didnt explicitly reference where they got their figures from. A quick search took me to the Electoral Maps UK projection referenced in their leaflet

The +11 and -21 figures also clearly state it was a reference to the change in % of support

Does she know that Starmer knew full well what kind of man Mandleson was when he appointed him?

Does she know Mandleson is still considered a hero by many on the Labour Right despite all these revelations?

There's nothing to commend about Starmer, McSweeney or any of the toads associated with them

All the Epstein emails are powerful elites saying shit like โ€œHello my friend the pedophile, i need your advice as a pedophile, what do you think about this other pedophile? Pedophilic Regards, your Friend ;)โ€ and instead of swinging from a gibbet most of them are still writing op-eds against leftism

If Mamdani was English and had exactly the same politics and messages, he would've been at the very least suspended by the current Labour party

BBC News bulletins leading on the story of an Algerian man being mistakenly released by the prison service.

Funnily enough I don't remember these cases ever leading the bulletins when an average of ten prisoners were mistakenly released a month in the final year of the last Government

The only annoying thing about this is the fact that all the centrist/centre-left journos currently praising Mamdani will likely be scathing about you, like they were Corbyn

It's much safer and easier for them to observe progressivism elsewhere, but they're horrified when it arrives here

Folk will do well to remember this next time rail workers take industrial action.

The RMT's strikes against removing guards are the only reason this man was there to save so many lives. Trade unions are vital to society.

Nigel Farage says this summerโ€™s Raise the Colours movement was led by โ€˜ordinary peopleโ€™ expressing their patriotism. Our reporters in five cities had a look and thatโ€™s not what we found.

Centrists like Ian Dunt spent the Corbyn years having multiple headlosses over the mildest things. He'd denounce Mamdani as a "crank left antisemite" if he was a British politician

He's not once mentioned Zack Polanski on this app, a man with an almost identical energy and message. Very telling

A popular meme format shows two astronauts in space, looking at Earth. One astronaut, looking at the planet, says, "Wait, anti-wokeness is just nazism?" The second astronaut, pointing a gun at the first, responds, "Always has been."

Manchester United planning post Premier League season matches in Asia Manchester United are set to play two post-season games in Malaysia and Hong Kong immediately after the Premier League finishes in May.

FA Cup replays scrapped to "protect players" yet here is the latest example of big clubs jetting off for overseas post-season friendlies.

Fixture congestion is a convenient excuse which always seems to disappear when money is involved.

The game is being sold off.

United announce transformation plan "Our two main priorities are delivering success on the pitch for our fans and improving our facilities," says CEO Omar Berrada.

When will we hear about the โ€˜transformation planโ€™ to address the Glazer familyโ€™s debts that the club is drowning in?

Until then, everything else is simply a case of rearranging deckchairs.

Enough is enough. They must go.

ONE BILLION POUNDS. Thatโ€™s the amount of interest now paid on the Glazerโ€™s loans.

Manchester United supporters exploited. Old Trafford neglected. The debt as high as ever.

Meanwhile, the Glazers have enriched themselves with ยฃ150m+ in dividends.

They must go.

Manchester United likely to slash scouting network in next round of redundancies The move could be part of Sir Jim Ratcliffeโ€™s next round of up to 200 redundancies, with United currently employing up to 80 scouts globally

Years of mismanagement and greed have led to financial turmoil at Manchester United

We know the Glazers and SJR possess the necessary funds to stabilise MUFC. We call on them to inject it into the club instead of making the fans and the staff shoulder the burden

How Manchester United are making big profits and huge losses at the same time Three months after club predicted an annual profit of up to ยฃ160m, more job losses are pending to tackle financial crisis

As usual, @priceoffootball.bsky.social gets to the truth of what is going on at Manchester United. As has already been said, this has nothing to do with staff levels and everything to do with financial mismanagement and Glazer debt
