    #AngusTaylor says ‘bad people coming from bad countries’.

    Taylor said #indigenous #WelcomeToCountry ceremonies were overused, after booing incidents at some of Saturday’s #AnzacDay #DawnServices. He also defended #preferencing #OneNation above the #independent community candidate, #MichelleMilthorpe (not a #Teal), in the upcoming #Farrer #byelection, arguing the Teals “vote with the #Greens”.

  6. 'The basic facts alone are startling. Before Zack #Polanski took over as leader last September, the #Greens in #England and #Wales had around 66,000 members. They are now at 215,000, and still rising at speed.

    This means the party has many more people to knock on doors and fold leaflets, as seen with the vast numbers of canvassers the party could call on in winning last month’s #Gorton and #Denton #byelection .'

  7. Highlight of the #GortonAndDenton #byelection: The #DailyTelegraph sent their man out to talk to Green Party #GPEW canvassers.

    It did not go well for him. 😅🤣

  8. If. Sour grapes had a smell, they would read like this.

    A selection from this mornings Times.
    - Good win for Greens,
    - Farage claims fraud
    - Tories get lowest *ever* vote in a by-election

  9. Hmm - sensitive are we Labour? It is not *only* muslims who are furious at your behaviour towards Gaza - and a lot of other things as well. But 500 letters won't come close to how many of us feel. Not that I have the opportunity to express my opinion on Thursday - but wait until May.

  14. #GortonAndDenton Update 1 - by Rob Ford - The Swingometer

    swingometer.substack.com/p/gor

    Note that I don't particularly rate Prof Rob Ford. He is a very assiduous observer of measurable factors such as demographics and polling data, and well worth reading for that. But I find him weaker on the flow of sentiment and the battle of ideas ... and at a time of instability, that's a major gap.

  15. The UK's never-relevant #YourParty is now functioning as two separate factions: pro-Corbyn vs pro-Sultana.

    The #ZarahSultana-ite #GrassrootsLeft is proudly waving its ultra-left colours. In the #GortonAndDenton by-election, the Greens #GPEW have a good chance of beating #ReformUK and the so-called #LabourParty ... but the Sultanas are waving their purity test.

    Meanwhile, Sultana herself is supporting the Greens. #YCMTSU

  16. #YCMTSU: Who is the #LabourParty candidate #AngelikiStogia for the #GortonAndDenton #byelection?

    #Stogia is Stakeholder Engagement and Communications lead for #Arup, focusing in finding funding and state support for private Energy and Rail contracts. arup.com/contact-us/angeliki-s

    The #Starmtroopers have really done it now. Faced with strong challenges from Greens #GPEW on the left and populist #ReformUK on the right, Labour chose a lobbyist for big business.

    Vote Labour, get #fatcat. #YCMTSU #ukpol

  17. Remember #Leyton!

    Some fans of #AndyBurnham want to create a #byelection for him to parachute back to the #HouseOfCommons, where he could challenge the drowning #Starmer.

    But in the 1965 Leyton by-election, voter resentment at a similar stunt was a factor in the 8.6% swing against Labour. The man on a parachute was defeated.

  22. Meet Reform’s regretters: councillors quitting just weeks into the job

    #Reform is seeing unusual number of #councillors #resigning in their first few weeks in office. In each case, it will trigger a council #byelection costing in excess of £20k

    Reasons range from dodgy #SocialMedia posts to not being eligible to stand in the 1st place

    We look at some of them in more depth. [This article may be updated to reflect further resignations]
