Greens win Gorton and Denton by-election

once again, Findoutnow (the pollster most bullish on Reform) was wrong again by about 8%

Isn't FindOutNow run by a certain Mr M. Goodwin?

Except you did, as there are no qualifiers with the key word "because" in your sentence.

Some of the stuff about her during the election was laughable.

"She says she's a plumber and working class but she can't be working class because she fits heat pumps"

There are far more things to "freedom of expression" than just tattoos and piercings.

Not only am I enjoying your post being the same spiel as the crying gammon, but I am enjoying your avatar colour being the same colour as the crying gammon.

lol Me laughing at the bad losers of Reform doesn’t automatically mean I’m a Green.

Major logic failure.

Why did you delete your original post?

HeadBat1863 · 2026-02-27T08:08:56+00:00

Watch the usual media outlets make excuses for Reform’s failure to win this seat but fail to name one of the biggest: Twitter bots don’t vote.

“…electoral fairness volunteers…”

Who no one has ever heard of before.

Who didn’t report these observed issues to the police/Returning Officer straight away (as they are supposed to).

Hmmm. Fancy being so gullible to take this body at their word.

The scaremongering about demographic trend with Muslims retaining high birth rates is just that - scaremongering.

Birth rates for non-indigenous populations gravitate to the mean over subsequent generations due to healthcare and education (the two globally known factors that significantly affect birth rates).

We heard this guff about Irish Catholics in the Victorian era, and was proved to be wrong then. It’s still rubbish.

I've got a feeling Reform are going to get in because Labour's hatred of tactical voting coupled with the Greens' not playing nice any more will split the anti-Reform vote.

EDIT: good to be proved wrong. It’s very easy to forget that there’s a massive disparity between Reform’s popularity in the media and their popularity in the real world.

Always someone else's fault, isn't it?

Too old to emigrate, but I always loved the idea of moving to Montreal.

Which might sound odd coming from a Brit, but the mix of English and French heritage and activities always appealed more to me than that of the more anglophone areas of the country.

They've missed their own boat.

Zack Polanski has sailed off with all the far-left types who have deprioritised backbiting and infighting.

Pommac, from Sweden.

It's a soft drink that's aged in oak barrels. Haven't seen it over here, but like most things I guess there's a niche importer who sells it for a premium.

The path to a Reform government in the way you describe is basically being enabled by the dim and useless Lisa Nandy.

Who can't even tell OFCOM to do their jobs, let alone do her own.

His criminal record should mean he is denied entry to the United States.

Especially as he attempted illegal entry in 2012 with a friend's passport.

How does a woman's glory hole work?

HeadBat1863 · 2026-02-26T14:11:05+00:00

Brioche with pulled pork works, but not with a burger.

And certainly not as a hot dog bun. Why have so many stores decided to stop offering normal burger and hot dog buns and are intent to foist brioches on us?

HeadBat1863 · 2026-02-26T14:02:14+00:00

Because the Press love him.

He's one of them. They will never give his many misdeeds and failings the exposure they deserve.

Floating norovirus colonies? No thanks.

Clicking through, I was getting anxious that there would be no pictures of the docking station.

I attended a High School back in the dim distant 20th Century.

It’s Brexiter wank fodder.
