  Beautiful news.

  Labour said they were the only ones who could defeat Reform. Turns out they lied yet again and it was they who should have stood down their candidate.

    The issue is that labor is competing with the greens, and this plays into Reform’s favor :-(

      I just think it’s hilarious that Labour has for years been leaning on this “the Greens split the vote” line. Now that the shoe’s on the other foot, I’m betting they feel differently.

    I’d like to once again say “fuck BBC news” for painting Spencer like an idiot and for sucking off Goodwin

    Quite a different result from what the polls were predicting.
