Yackity Yack, Let's Talk Zack

At least Mr Polanski is directly addressing tactical voting there. Not such a big thing here in a single bye-election as his letter does the job quite efficiently, but the effective use of campaigning about tactical voting to kick that wanker Farage is going to be a key element of whether the Greens under Polanski can come close to a number of seats reflecting their polling on the day. He has two years plus to get that message out to the public, because you can be sure that Labour and the Conservatives will use "vote for us to protect yourself from the spectre of Farage in number 10" everywhere in a general election campaign if current polling holds.

So you’re assuming that British Indians and British Pakistanis are automatically in conflict whenever India is mentioned?

It's a coincidence that in a constituency with a large Muslim population the Greens just happened to pick a picture of Starmer with the Indian PM?

It's not exactly subtle, is it?
 
Great result for the Greens. Awful result for the Labour and the pollsters.

And thank fuck Goodwin didnt get anywhere near power.

Im also not convinced that Burnham would have done any better. Labour put up a popular local councillor who got done by national unpopularity.

Not sure, I think a 'big' name who has been successful as mayor would have pulled quite a few traditional Labour voters back from the edge. Starmer is a pariah currently and colouring everyrhing to do with Labour.

Only because not many people know him outside of Manchester.

I'd say nationally he's well known for his great work in advancing the Hillsborough cause and his less than great work advancing the privatisation of the NHS. I'd have thought he'd only be behind Reeves, Raynor, Cooper, Starmer, Milliband and maybe Lammy in terms of recognition. More than Streeting for example.

He seems well liked in Manchester 🤷‍♀️

Keeping it simple, I have always thought Burnham would have a problem with being too northern in key constituencies. Including Midlands. In some ways id like to think he could be the man, but I'm not sure he is. Despite it all, I still think there’s a chance for an ‘economic realist’ in this landscape, but I don’t see an obvious one. Could Al Cairns be a contender?
 
Too northern? Ffs what a bunch of cap doffing cunts we are if that is true.
