In the 2010 General Election, this #Levenshulme #Manchester estate agent shop was the election office for #LibDems candidate Qassim Afzal.
Now it seems to be the election office for #WorkersPartyGB, the ego trip party of all round horrible person George Galloway. Weird how things change over time.

More cooperation, less factionalism is what the Left needs to be working towards. And yes that means #Greens , #Labour and #LibDems along with other progressive parties finding ways to advance equality, diversity and genuine democracy.
I’ve attended a few #Compass events online and it’s genuinely a great thing to witness. More of this please!

@TCatInReality The problem with that case for tactical voting is history. The product of #tacticalvoting has NOT been the compromise you seek.
In 2010, tactical voting for #LibDems put the Conservatives in power to implement a disastrous programme of #austerity.
In 2024, tactical voting for the so-called "#LabourParty" produced a mendacious govt of neoliberal shitehawks,
Time to vote strategically instead of tactically, to build better alternatives.

Swansea councillor warns Welsh pubs risk being ‘left behind’ as business rates row deepens
Welsh Liberal Democrat councillor, Sam Bennett — who represents Swansea’s Waterfront ward and is standing for the Senedd in Gŵyr Abertawe — said ministers must “urgently change course” to stop Welsh venues being placed at a competitive disadvantage.
The row erupted after the UK Chancellor announced extra relief for pubs and music venues in England, cutting an average £1,650 from their bills next year. The support does not apply in Wales, and the Welsh Government has yet to confirm whether it will introduce a similar scheme.
When pressed in the Senedd by Welsh Liberal Democrat leader Jane Dodds, the First Minister declined to commit to matching the English package, saying she needed to examine the details first.
Bennett said that hesitation was already causing alarm among Swansea Bay businesses facing rising costs, staff shortages and falling footfall.
Cllr Sam Bennett said:
“Pubs and hospitality businesses are at the heart of our communities, but too many are being pushed to the brink. Scaling back business rates relief now would be a serious mistake.
Support cannot stop at pubs alone. Cafés, restaurants and other hospitality businesses are facing exactly the same pressures.”
Industry leaders warn Wales is becoming uncompetitive
Concerns over Wales’ business rates system intensified this week after a BBC report highlighted the widening gap between Wales and England.
The broadcaster spoke to Philip Thomas, Wales director of the Society of Independent Brewers, who said his Treforest brewery would pay no business rates at all if it were located just across the border in Somerset.
Thomas warned that the disparity was “impacting on our ability to compete”, with English rivals — who pay nothing — selling beer into Welsh pubs.
His comments echo growing frustration across the sector as new valuations and the end of pandemic‑era relief push bills sharply higher from April.
Analysis by UK Hospitality shows the sector’s business rates bill in Wales is set to rise from £83.1m this year to £135.7m by 2028‑29.
Political pressure grows — even within Labour
The political tension deepened after Gower MP Tonia Antoniazzi, who chairs Westminster’s All‑Party Parliamentary Beer Group, publicly welcomed the Chancellor’s decision to cut business rates for English pubs.
She said she had been “pushing for pubs to get a fairer deal” and thanked the Chancellor for listening — but made no reference to Wales, where pubs will not receive the same support unless the Welsh Government chooses to replicate it.
Welsh Government: ‘More to say soon’
A Welsh Government spokesperson said ministers were finalising plans for additional support and would announce details soon.
They insisted that almost half of Welsh pubs already receive Small Business Rates Relief, and more than a quarter pay no rates at all.
But Bennett said Swansea Bay businesses cannot wait much longer for clarity.
Cllr Sam Bennett said:
