Reform spam without the legally required "Imprint" for political mailings. If you get this please report the cowboys, their incompetence needs to be punished.

As I said in an earlier post, all Reform have is money. They certainly don’t have any ethics or honesty. I imagine they’re betting on nothing being done about th…
Exclusive: Reform UK just broke electoral law in Gorton and Denton
People across the constituency thought they were getting a letter from a concerned pensioner, they didn’t know she was working for Reform

Reform are becoming ever more desperate and pathetic in Gorton and Denton. They just sent me another letter, pretending to be from a local pensioner.
Should they have made it clear it was from them? I'm unsure what's required for election leaflets.

A very optimistic Labour canvasser just knocked on my door, despite the Green poster board in my garden.

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.

Just had a guy ask to borrow power to do some work on the street. Turned out he was trying to saw the clamp off a car. Unplugged it and gave the lead back, but I think he got part way through one of the chains.

When you're hosting a horde of Green leafletters, you need to make room for some extra bikes.

I've just had a load of them around my house to pick up leaflets. We have the energy. All Reform has is billionaire backers funding mailshots.

I've been test printing possible products on my new Cricut.
I didn't spot this effect on the screen....
Is there a market for suggestive confetti?

Labour have sunk in the polls & no longer have enough support to beat Reform in the Gorton & Denton by-election or across the country. The Greens support continues rising, with people switching from Labour especially. Voting Labour in Gorton & Denton will let Reform in.

I know it's a fraction of the constituency, bit on my walk to and from the supermarket, I saw another Green poster board, and nothing for any of the other parties. With my board, that's 2-0s.

Getting lots of desperate Labour ads on YouTube.
Does it cost them more if I watch the advert all the way through, or can I just skip and they'll still be charged?
They're wasting their money, either way.

I've been cat sitting for a week and a bit. Of course, I had to take a few photos to reassure her humans.

Hundreds of volunteers hitting the streets this morning in Gorton and Denton.

Lower bills, tax the super-rich- hope will win.

Only the Greens can stop Reform in this by-election.

Got back from a week and a half in Cumbria to find this in my front garden.
Go Greens!
(It's typical that the most exciting thing to happen in Gorton whilst I've lived here started on one of the rare occasions that I was somewhere else.)

I'm definitely not in the quiet carriage. Two tables of lairy lads bantsing so loud I think it might damage my hearing.
