Labour are just desperate for cheap digs. Why didn't they let Andy Burnham stand ?
A Labour spokesperson, responding to Zack Polanski’s interview with Laura Kuenssberg, said: "If [he] thought the Greens had a chance in Gorton and Denton he wouldn't have chickened out standing himself."
This is pretty weak IMO - Polanski is a serving London Assembly member and lives in Hackney...

Curse of Private Equity
Asda has lost its mojo and has a big fight to get it back.
Debt £3.8bn. Annual finance cost £611m. Staff/Wages cut. Low investment. Suppliers squeezed, less customer choice, assets sold-off piecemeal.

Nigel Farage claims that he's fighting the Greens.
But for weeks now he's refused to debate me.
Reform know Gorton & Denton are ready to vote for the Green Party.

Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) protects the right to respect for private and family life, home, and correspondence, prohibiting unlawful state surveillance and interference.
I am very concerned by the government's mass rollout of facial recognition technology.
This is a grave threat to privacy, and turns the presumption of innocence on its head.
We are hurtling toward a mass surveillance state. It must be opposed!
