The BBC is breaking a 20 year habit of mine... so I apologize that I am posting about this everytime it happens, but this is kind of a big deal in my world. BBC was my source for world news. I have never, ever, been prevented from reading a print news article on its website until this month.
Now.. they want me to subscribe.
In my opinion, the decline and death of true public broadcasting in the (english speaking) world — I've seen it in the UK, the USA, and Canada, I can't speak to other countries — is contributing to the decline of democracy in those places.
If only those who can afford to read the news have access to the news, then less people will be able to be informed, regardless of any editorial leanings.

A bin got nearly 10,000 votes against 22,000 for Farage.
On by-election turnout of 44%

9455 for Binface!
2nd only to Farage's 22,000
That's actually an incredible result. Binface got around 25% of the vote!

BWAHAHAHA! #NigelFarage will not be attending the vote count in Clacton because of some nebulous "threat," no doubt the threat of having to stand next to a bin.

Polls have just opened in the #Clacton by-election.
A record 34 candidates are standing for the seat held by Nigel Farage, who called a vote amid sleaze allegations. The major parties are not contesting what they call a "stunt".
As ever, polls close at 10pm.

‘Most people who start out in the world she knew never make it out. She insists she did so only because political decisions were made in a time of relative plenty to fund the kind of social services that were there to help her. Many of those services, in Ireland and the UK, have since been cut.’ https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2026/jul/30/cried-live-broadcast-three-poignant-words-katriona-osullivan

I'm starting to think that fascists maybe aren't the brightest sparks.

OH MY LORD
We've got a new Bayeux tapestry and we're gonna need a thread for this one.
-
The people of Clacton may not come through, but Farage will still have had to run against a bin. And the bin will still have received a sizeable chunk of the vote.

For the first time in over a year, current polling is suggesting that Labour would be the largest party if an election were to be held today. But they would still be some way away from an overall majority.
The Burnham Bounce is a good start for Labour, but they're going to need much more.

The results of the Greater #Manchester Mayoral election within each borough were published overnight.
Labour's Bev Craig came top of the poll in every borough. Reform's Sian Astley came second in every borough except the City of Manchester (Greens came second) and Trafford (Conservatives came second).
-
Labour's Bev Craig is the new Mayor of Greater #Manchester.
She finished just short of the 50% needed to win outright on the first round. It was a considerable drop from Andy Burnham's results in each of the previous three elections.
Waiting for the borough-level results.
-
We don't have the result of the first round of the Greater #Manchester Mayoral election, but we do know that it will go to a second round between Reform's Sian Astley and Labour's Bev Craig.
-
We're still waiting for the first declaration in #Manchester.
Turnout was just above 25%, which is the lowest since the post was created, and seven points down from the 2024 election.
-
Counting is under way across #Manchester, as we wait to find out who will succeed Andy Burnham as the region's mayor.
We're expecting the first boroughs to declare this afternoon, with the overall result either late this afternoon or early this evening.
-
The next Mayor of Greater #Manchester has been decided.
Tomorrow, we will find out what that decision is.
-
Polls have opened in the #Manchester mayoral by-election.
The by-election was automatically triggered when Andy Burnham was elected to the House of Commons.
Polls close at 10pm, and votes will be counted tomorrow.

I have no doubt general Jewish attacks are happening, but this report does nothing to separate both the internal and external fight of Jewish and others against genocadial Zionism - Israel is a terrorist state
