The win of new pro Gaza Greens is bad news for Labour. It will mean Starmer’s MPs will intensify the pressure to spend more, borrow more and tax more and give in to the EU and foreign governments more. This will intensify the problems this government’s policies are causing. It will add to Labour’s unpopularity with most of us. They will prove beyond doubt that high taxes kill enterprise and jobs, spending more does not solve public sector management problems, and being nice to foreigners does not boost growth. It makes government financial stress more likely and condemns us to high youth unemployment.

I see the monster raving looney party ie the Greens won the by-election in Gorton and Denton with a back drop of accusations of vote family rigging how can this sort of thing still be going on, anyway they asked the winning Green candidate what she won it on and a presto , Asked about two of her key campaign issues, the cost of living and Gaza, she replies: “I am really clear and really proud about my record of standing up for people in Palestine. What the bloody hell as Palestine got to do with the United Kingdom answers on the back of a postage stamp please

Despite the uniparty doing its best to repopulate the country it is obvious that the ethnic vote has now abandoned the liebour party in favour of fictional voting.
It was the best result for Reform as it shows their support us solid amongst the general population which is what matters at a General Election.
The problem Gaza Greens will soin be ditched in favour of real Gaza supporters.
It’s essential that 2TK stays in post to continue as recruiting sergeant for Reform.
It would be interesting to j ow how many postal votes were cast.

Yes but Labour will never out-spend, out-green, out-diversify or out-tax the Green proposals. If they do as you propose, will just push the few old Labour remaining voters right to Reform. Libdems equally will not out-loony the Greens so the sandals will wander there. Good for Reform in Wokingham. 2 horse race now Reform or Green. Faites vos jeux.

It’s a disaster for the country, but so is Labour.
Thanks to decades of mass immigration and state enforced multi-culturalism, we now have Sectarian politics with a campaign conducted in a foreign language; completely corrupt voting practices in one particular “community” which are condoned by the Establishment because they are scared of being called waycist and economically-illiterate Marxists who are proposing to legalise hard drugs and give every criminal migrant a house and welfare.
Thirty years of the Uni-Party, ignoring the wishes of the British people as they imported millions from the third world, has created this situation.
The only positive is that the national Reform polling of around 30% held up in a left-wing, Labour stronghold: they got 28.7% ….. without cheating.

As predicted here in my (moderated) post of ten days ago, the local Green candidate – a hard working lady plumber – handsomely won the Gorton and Denton by-election with 14,980 votes, (41%) 12 points in front of the Reform candidate (10,578) – a large majority of 4,402 over Reform. In bad news for Starmer, Labour came third with 9,364 votes
The Conservative and Liberal Democrat candidates both polled less than 2% and lost their deposits, for the Conservatives their worst ever by-election result
Yet another humiliating by-election defeat for the dreadful Nigel Farage and his anti-swans Reform limited company. Despite Farage himself visiting the constituency several times, surrounded by phalanxes of burly minders who prevented him from engaging with the public. Farage, like Trump, is now alleging “cheating”
Taken together, 24344 voters went for pro-net zero parties, or ~70%. Reform and their anti-net zero, pro-fossil fuel policies were decisively rejected by the ethnically mixed Gorton and Denton voters

The Greens, old or new, are the last ones we need to see gaining strength – they have more ideology than old labour. There are suggestions that the voting was managed in some way to give the greens a win.
If that is not the answer then we are back to the old days where voters switched between labour and Tory, only now it is labour and Greens.
February 27, 2026
This was a good result given the options available.
Starmer is finished.
Farage is finished.
Advance with the best candidate, a no show, must fold.
Tories also rans.
The Green MP will blurt out Green policy and shock everyone who missed that detail, and she won under a cloud. International scrutiny not happy with the conduct of the election.

Just had notification from my electricity supplier that whilst the unit rate will go down from April, the standing charge per day will increase, so my monthly payments need to increase by £13.00 per month. !
They confirm I am already on the lowest rate plan they charge.
The difference between government spin and reality. l

We have long known that the Greens may reasonably be described as the Watermelons – green on the outside, red on the inside. Their current version has revealed that the interior of the watermelon is putrid and maggot ridden, and only fit for the compost heap.

The Donald continues to force Ukraine to attend so-called “peace” talks with the war criminal Putin’s regime, whilst under fire. Exasperated at continuing Ukrainian resistance, Trump has now cut off all US military aid to Zelenskiy.
Forcing this brave nation, fighting for it’s survival whilst under direct attack, to negotiate with Putin is akin to Roosevelt forcing Churchill to negotiate with Hitler while the Luftwaffe was bombing London.
Clearly, Putin has no intention of conducting any meaningful peace negotiations whatsoever. At the conclusion of each round of “peace” talks, the same repetitious claptrap from the Russian side is repeated – no peace until Zelenskiy capitulates to Russian maximalist demands.
It is now obvious that the American people have had enough of Trump. His approval polling is dire and it seems clear that the mid-term elections in November will be bad for the Republicans. Many Americans are appalled at ICE killings of American citizens, Trump and Vance’s insults to their European NATO allies, Trump’s contemptible cowering to Putin and his incessant bullying of Zelensiy.
The only thing that is going to end this war is NATO boots on the ground – on Ukraine’s side

Looks like the typical Labour Protest vote put the Greens in place, because they could not bring themselves to vote for Farage.
Thus we now have another nutter supporter in Parliament with crazy party polices.

The result further proves that in local elections people vote for who they see as the best candidate for the locality, not for a future national government. Mr Farage can moan all he wants but that’s the simple reality.

From what I’ve been reading, there’s the worry that the Green Party will use all the same dirty tricks to win in other elections. That is very alarming!
An electoral watch dog observed in their spot checks of voting hubs yesterday, that at least 17% of the votes were ‘family votes.’ This was apparently made illegal in 2020.
Together with Labours potential response to this by-election – the outcome is frankly terrifying!
As one Telegraph reader commented this morning about the empowering of Muslim votes that the Green Party is encouraging, “Islam is unique, it’s a supremacist totalitarian ideology wrapped up to look like a religion.”
I believe the Green Party to be a danger to this country’s democracy.

I am staggered that open breaking of the election rules has been allowed to stand.
I am upset that segretarian racist voting blocs have been encouraged.
this country is doomed.
all decent people everywhere should back Rupert Lowe.

This latest election shows collapsing support for Conservatives 706, LibDems 653 and Labour. Reform got more votes than Labour increasing its share. Voter apathy for the major 2 Parties meant a 28% increase for the winning Greens and 15% increase for Reform in second place. British politics in turmoil still.
