@Obscure_Rebel @thecanaryuk @thecanary @uk_politics @UKLabour @thegreenparty 🤣 Not Going To Happen. #Labour can withdraw their candidate, or face utter humiliation at the polls. Interesting that they didn’t ask #Reform to withdraw their candidate…. Current Labour policies are much closer to those of Reform than those of the #GreenParty

If Labour genuinely want to stop Reform taking the seat the obvious tactic is to withdraw themselves. Labour is in an awful mess, and it's probably going to get worse - other senior Labour figures were close to Mandelson. In the current situation, the Greens have the better chance.
