Hannah Spencer, the newest MP in Parliament who, overnight, has made #Starmer look like yesterday's man
una decisione folle: il ministero Interno del governo #Starmer presenterà appello contro la decisione della High Court di dichiarare illegale la messa al bando dei ragazzi inglesi di #PalestineAction che si oppongono al #genocidio di #Israele
[inglese]
Also just looked Hannah Spencer up on LinkedIn…she is a Gas Safe plumber, but she is also heating engineer who installs air source heat pumps, in case anyone was feeling cynical about the contradiction between installing gas boilers and being a Green Party candidate…and now MP.
Meanwhile, #Starmer appears to still be in the death grip of McSweeney’s centre-right cult of #LabourTogether…otherwise reported this morning by Professor Rob Ford as ‘Electoral Valley of Death’:
“I will fight against the extremes in politics on the right and the left, parties who want to tear our country apart.”
Keep on describing the #GreenParty as extreme Left Starmer please do, because their voters absolutely know they are not, they are just sensible people sick of division.
But the bad news from Professor Sir Curtice continued on the stale dead old parties:
“The [ #Labour] party’s 25.4% of the vote represented a near halving of their 50.8% of the vote in 2024 and the 13th biggest ever fall in the party’s support in a byelection.
Meanwhile, the #Conservatives lost their deposit with just 1.9% of the vote, their worst ever byelection result.”
This is bad news for both #Starmer and #Badenoch. There is a seismic shift away from both their parties.
And yet #Labour have trotted out Heidi Alexander on the media rounds to say the stale old thing that big parties always say about by elections that don’t go in their favour - this result should not be ‘over interpreted’…which means they will ignore it and sadly not learn from it.
#Starmer has pissed away Labour’s 2024 victory.
Nothing to show for it and haemorrhaging votes in areas that have been solid Labour for almost 100 years.
The best start to a Friday… #GreenParty ‘s Hannah Spencer wins #GortonAndDenton byelection…and pushes #Labour who had had a comfortable majority there into third place.
“Rather than winning narrowly, the [Green party] won 40.7%, enough to put them as much as 12 points ahead of second placed #Reform. It represented as much as a 27.5 point increase on the party’s share in 2024.
Labour, who had not hitherto lost an election in the area since 1931, fell into third place.”

Don’t think the more liberal amongst us have not noticed Labour. Maybe McSweeney’s strategy is not as gobsmackingly smart as you all thought it was?
Nice to see a bit on analysis though.

#Mandelson has been arrested by the Met on suspicion of misconduct in public office.
Expected news, but presumably not good for #Starmer.

"Starmer is toast. But the dark forces that brought him to power are as strong as ever."
"In Starmer, the billionaires found their synthetic, laboratory-grown 'man of the people' - one so clueless... that his closest advisors [said] he was an empty vessel through which they ran the government."
The Epstein Files indicate "how completely the billionaire class has captured political life in Britain."
