  1. CW: re: UKPol Holborn and St Pancras By Election

    Lots of media saying that it's a huge gamble for Zack to try and win Starmer's seat.

    As though they think if he loses the media will all call for him to resign. 😆 They're doing that either way, duh.

    A bigger gamble would be to put forward a lesser candidate and lower the chances of winning.

    Here he is talking to Owen Jones about it anyway.

  2. I had occasion while volunteering for one of the parties to visit a number of polling stations in the #Beaches-EastYork #byelection Monday, and was impressed by the large number of people from a wide range of backgrounds working, politely and enthusiastically, to make #Canadian #democracy happen.

  3. I don’t know how much (if any), but I suspect that at least one factor behind the Liberal by-elections wins (one had been Conservative) here in 🇨🇦 was a “rally round the PM” as a result of the trade war.

  4. CW: UKPol Starmer Stand Down as MP

    Less than a year ago Starmer argued that a mayor couldn't stand down early because of the cost to the party and the country of running an election.

    Today we learn he is gonna quit being an MP.

    I' not quite in the seat, but I'm close enough I could go campaign I suppose.

  6. Over one in four people in Clacton would rather have Count Binface as their MP than the leader of Reform UK. 100x more votes than he got against Andy Burnham. 👍🏼

    Farage was so scared of being photoed next to a 🗑️ he didn't even turn up for the count results. Count Binface had his say though ⬇️

  7. #CountBinface #UK #Britain #UKPol #Politics #British #Farage #NigelFarage #Votes #Voting #Clacton #ByElection #Election #ClactonByElection #Sky #Votes #SkyNews #TV #News #Reform #ReformUK So spineless Farage forces a by-election then refuses to attend the vote count to avoid humiliation? He then makes a speech about democracy, and the previous generations who fought in World Wars to protect it.
    For Pete’s sake… they fought to the death… all he had to do was stand on a stage.

He’d be a far better president than the ridiculous joke candidate currently occupying the White House.

  9. "It’ll be a low turnout, Farage way ahead, with Binface second but the only real winner ... Then it’ll die down again, briefly, and we can get back to what’s left of the summer, the lives Farage has no clue about or interest in and keep talking about the things that really matter in Clacton: litter, landlords, potholes, parking and whether there’ll be a second series of Secret Lives of Gypsy Wives."

  10. If you’re contesting a by-election in which your only real opponent is a comedian wearing a bin on his head, surely you shouldn’t have to spend more than a couple of quid on your campaign. The fact that he’s spent TEN GRAND indicates old FrogFace is running scared of the bin man…

  11. “Nigel Farage Reported to Met Police Over ‘Alleged Misconduct in Public Office’”

    by Josiah Mortimer in The Byline Times on Substack

    @BylineTimes

    “The Reform UK leader’s non-disclosure of a £5 million ‘gift’ from a crypto billionaire could amount to a criminal offence, leading democracy groups allege”
