A couple of weeks ago, I went to the Museum of Flight (https://www.nms.ac.uk/national-museum-of-flight) at East Fortune near #Edinburgh

One of the displays on offer (https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/229158299) was about the R34 Airship (https://thehistorypress.co.uk/article/the-r34-airship/).
The metal "rope stowing panel" (I made that up), looks like it was all written in #Gorton, and thought @mwichary might approve 🙂

So People voted tactically to keep Reform out of Gorton.. and guess who is crying? Reform.

Reform are bleeting on about "the muslims! the muslims! Those damn muslims!" how about the Jews, Hindus and Christians that also voted against Reform.. Well that's doesn't generate media attention. It doesn't bring supporters to Reform.

We all know what happened. The voters didn't want brown shirts in Gorton.

Well done to Gorton!

I know it sounds really weird to say, but I’m so proud of the LibDems today.

Whenever there’s a by-election, they throw everything at it. But they recognised that doing so in #Gorton+Denton would have muddied the water. They got out of the way and let the Greens do their thing.

Congrats, Greens!

According to Andy Burnham in the @manchestereveningnews.co.uk, Labour have 1000 volunteers out in Gorton and Denton today, while Mothin Ali says the Green Party has 2000 volunteers on the streets.

RefUK don't seem to have mentioned their volunteer numbers.

That's a double-edged sword from #ZackPolanski to #Denton & #Gorton voters here👇🏽

because while I am sure people are not happy about #Starmer's performance, there is real anxiety & trauma left by the #Tories after we endured a string of increasingly short-lived & short-skilled unelected PMs.

When fake ‘patriots’ turn out to be russian assets. Again. Farage's #Brexit was, of course, a HUGE economic success, so it's not surprising that voters in #Gorton & #Denton want more of the same. 🤡 #Gorton&Denton #ReformUK @[email protected]

Polls in the #Gorton and #Denton by-election open in less than 15 minutes.

This should normally be a safe Labour seat. But Reform UK and the Green Party are trying to cause an upset. Will either succeed?

Hate moves as fast as a fist #denton #gorton #greens @greenparty.org.uk #poetry
Hoping Hannah Spencer can win the upcoming by-election

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

#ukpol #Manchester #Gorton #byelection

Reminder from #AaronBastani about the scumminess of the #LabourParty that wants to win the ##GortonAndDenton byelection:

"Worth recalling that the by-election in Gorton and Denton was triggered because of Andrew Gwynne being exposed as a complete scum bag (now its 'health reasons', naturally).

There's something deeply rotten about the Labour right. The worst people in British politics. Easily."

from https://x.com/AaronBastani/status/2018425774840160473

#ukpol #Gorton #Denton

The Greens "are best placed to mobilise and unify the disparate voter groups unhappy with Labour in this seat, and if they can do so then a winning coalition is there for the taking."

The Gorton and Denton by-election: a tale of two Manchesters?

Matt Goodwin is framing the #Gorton by-election on being a vote about #Starmer

Yes, he's unpopular, but time and again, the public show they do not like negative politics and campaigning

“Greens select former mayoral candidate to run in Gorton and Denton byelection.” Zac being too metropolitan elite to stand in Manchester may be a big mistake. #Greens #Gorton

#AndyBurnham has applied to contest the #Gorton by-election. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cn408vmxrg8o

I'm hoping that #Starmer will block #Burnham's candidacy, triggering a big fight in #UKLabour between Burnham's soggy centrists and Starmers hard right.

Then Manchester native #ZackPolanski can stand for the Greens, and wipe the floor with the #Starmtroopers' candidate. #GPEW boosted, both factions of the so-called #LabourParty weakened.
