tactical voting needed from Mancunians please ...
Labour is briefing that they know they won't win the Gorton and Denton by election.
The Greens are favourites and are the only party that can stop Reform.
Lower bills, tax the rich, protect the NHS. We will win.

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

It was ‘broken’ by austerity under the Tories and would be hollowed out further by Conform - same people with similar policies. It’s taking time to mend … and positive news is suppressed by right wing media.
“More people despair over “broken” Britain than during financial crisis”
I wonder why, The Telegraph, The Times, Daily Mail, Daily Express, Sun, BBC, GB “News”, Farage, Reform etc and so on…

Poll finds dissatisfaction at state of the nation higher than after 2008 crash, with Reform voters most likely to believe UK is in decline

this is deeply wrong and biased as a headline -try 'destructive and foolish' for proud
Tell me again how this BBC editorialising is just my cognitive bias... This isn't a quote from anywhere. It's just the BBC's description of this disgraced, divisive politician.

Sorry but why the fuck would you *not* want to recreate 2006?Pre-financial crash, pre-austerity, pre-Brexit, pre-inflation. Britain's economically healthy, decent public services, largely competent government, fairly amiable political disputes. What kind of person prefers this period to that?
Kemi Badenoch says the Tories are "not trying to recreate 2006" which, to this 38 year old, is a pity

and the end of climate policies - net zero etc - closing down renewables - terrible
Fuck ICE, fuck Reform, and fuck anyone who actually wants this.
The UK version of “Project 2025” by the Reform party includes a British ICE, a concentration camp for 24,000 people, mass surveillance and withdrawing from refugee, anti-torture and anti-trafficking conventions.
It’s on their website. That’s how comfortable fascists are in the UK today.

Vote Reform and get the worst of last year's failed Conservatives.
