    She told The Times: “Gorton and Denton is a beautifully diverse constituency, with thousands of residents who speak languages other than English.

    I was like why would she do this? This is very unusual

    The Manchester wards are on average 42% white and 40% Muslim, with 42% of the population either a university graduate or a current university student

    ooof

    Read this on the other site, very concerning

    Polanski’s economic policies took 2 minutes of gentle interview pressure during his media love bombing first week in the job, and even under such a light touch he ended up responding that if he crashed the markets (which he 100% would, within hours) “well the markets are a tool of capitalism so maybe they deserve to go.”

    The Greens will lie that they have costed plans and that it won’t harm the country until oushed to a point they cant defend anymore, at which point they snap to “well maybe we need to break everything and anyone on more than minimum wage deserves to suffer the cosequences of our Marxist LARP”

    They fundamentally hate our country. They want to disarm us in the face of Russian war in Europe, they want to bankrupt us into a rotten commune of perpetual poverty (so long as it’s equally distributed poverty) and strip away all our national culture. They’ve made clear they believe in unlimited, open doors immigration and only paused that policy because it makes them completely unelectable.

    They’ve consistently tied themselves to the division over Gaza, bolstered radical islamic sub-factions in British politics, and antisemetic groups. Running an election ad for this by-election in entirely urdu, overlaid with images of bombed Gaza and Starmer’s face? Unbelievable breach of standards.

    These people have shown who they are just as much as the sleezebag, corrupt false-patriots in Reform, and I like what I am seeing no more. I am ashamed of my own generation for supporting them to this degree. The social media age has made our politics more stupid, and more unthinkably divided than ever before.

    Looks like a proper shitshow in UK politics at the moment, then again has been this way for well over a decade now

      You posted a YouTube video from some rando account suggesting that it was posted by the newly-elected MP, and then copy/pasted some other rando’s lie-ridden opinion. Everything you’ve shared here is at best irrelevant, and at worst misinformation.

      I get that you’re sad that Reform lost, but they’re the wrong path for this country. Maybe one day you’ll understand that. The Greens ran on a platform of hope and community over division and fear and I’m absolutely thrilled that they beat Reform so bad. It renews my faith in humanity that we can make good choices in the face of divisive, hateful demagogues and that’s just awesome.
