The rejection of that disgusting, misogynistic racist Matt Goodwin was the best news I've woken up to in a long time. Congratulations Hannah and may this be the start of the end of the lurch to the right this country seems to be addicted to.
The disappointing thing ,Reform still managed over 10,000 votes ,10,000 too many in my view.Other ,less diverse and economically disadvantaged areas will sadly still be a fertile hunting ground for Reform and it's grievance politics.
This doesn't feel like a protest vote ,I've witnessed over the years dramatic by-election swings,only for the usual party to claim it back at the GE. I think all Green wins will be consolidated going forward.
I really enjoyed reading this. The silent majority is actually a majority, and is only silent because it isn't measured by our electoral system. I've just received the results of a ranked preference poll, like ones that we would conduct if we had an AV or STV electoral system. Over 51% of respondents when adjusted for weighting would rank Reform UK 5th of the 5 major parties. That's your silent majority, Nigel.
Labour never had a 'mandate'. Its victory was illusory based on an extraordinary split among voters. It celebrated as if it was 'chosen'. It has lost its political capital. It had to be forced into UTurns on issues it should never have held back on. It betrayed its promises on the environment. There is no indication Labour even begins to understand the weakness of its position and the illusion of its mandate. All Starmer promises is more 'fight', to hold on. Labour is headed to join the Tories in the basement of opposition.

A protest vote against a government that is vilified by the media on an hourly basis.
But, it has shown the 'sticky third' who vote for extremists is not growing.
Sticky turd more like .

The “silent majority” is actually anything except Reform if truth be known

Progressive? You mean communist, you mean far left. Show your true colours.
Mind you, it will be fucking hysterical to see the Pakistani voters line up beside the gays and transgenders. What an absolute farce.
Green = far left.
Always has, always will.
