@johnharris1969.bsky.social wonders at #KeirStarmer's peevish #GortonAndDenton response: lauding #ReformUK supporters as 'hero voters' yet slamming Greens as extremists

Libby Purves worries the Green manifesto lacks coherence or seriousness
Well, maybe
That’s the flaw (or joy) in populism: simple slogans for complex problems, not coherent detail
Please make the same criticism of Reform!!

@frasernellson.bsky.social on the power of #HannahSpencer asking the big Q & winning the #GortonandDentonByElection
#r4today #KeirStarmer #NigelFarage #LVIPolitics
Graceless & mistaken of Reform to blame the 4000 #GortonAndDenton loss on sectarianism - but it plays to their ➗populism so 🤷
But if Labour comfort themselves their loss is mainly down to Muslim 🗳️it’ll slow the changes they need to make

“Working hard used to get you a house, a nice life. What does working hard get you now?”
The killer Q from Hannah Spencer which will resonate with everyone under 40 & chill the blood of Keir Starmer & Kemi Badenoch
The Q for #GE2029
#GortonAndDenton #HannahSpencer #r4today #LVIPolitics
Greens🥇win first ever HoC by-election comfortably, 47% of the vote, 4000 majority, defeating Reform🥈& pushing Labour into🥉
Keir Starmer threatened by insurgents on left & right
#GortonAndDenton #HannahSpencer #r4today #LVIPolitics
Caerphilly, Gorton & Denton: both by elections saw the anti-Reform vote combine to win
What does this mean for #ReformUK & tactical voting #GE2029?
Worrying for Labour & Conservatives that it’s Plaid & Greens who are the beneficiaries
#GortonAndDenton #r4today #LVIPolitics
Much more embarrassing for Keir Starmer is that he only appointed Sir Chris Wormald to the post 14 months ago, against the advice of some, has now changed his mind & bundled him out with lots of taxpayer 💰 💰

In the Brown Govt he went into the Cabinet for the 3rd time (after 2 scandals & resignations) This🎞️is from then, pre #Epstein revelations

1) The imminent end of the 2 party system’s been trailed for 40+ years
2) Farage’s big achievement since #GE2024 isn’t breaking the 2 party system but positioning ReformUK as 1 of those 2 big parties. Can Kemi get that spot back?
#NigelFarage #KemiBadenoch #r4today #LVIPolitics
Another entertaining opinion poll projection of a new House of Commons
Certainly multi party, fractured voting. But in a GE would tactical voting & a Keir V Nigel Presidential contest drive votes back to two big parties?

Now the nutters have gone it’s time for Kemi Badenoch to take the Tory party back to One Nation to fill the yawning hole at the centre of British politics says Matthew Parris
#KemiBadenoch #RobertJenrick
#NigelFarage #r4today #LVIPolitics
Robert Jenrick is right: Kemi Badenoch SHOULD have kicked Liz Truss out of the Conservative Party
She did the country🇬🇧 & #Tory Party immense harm, the voters of SW Norfolk had the 🧠to kick her out 🗳️!
It’d have been Kemi’s best way to a fast reset. Opportunity missed🤦♂️
