You'd think Reform would be delighted that a white, working class plumber got elected and they beat the metropolitan elite university lecturer.

People in favour of financial inequality say a wealth tax will cause the wealthiest to leave. Some will - the same people that will leave once they have made all they can from the UK and there’s nothing left.

It never lasts long enough.

As mentioned on @mrjamesob.bsky.social’s @lbc.co.uk show today.

Has the person behind the Allister Heath headline generator created something similar for Kemi Badenoch? Breathtaking lack of self awareness from the leader of a party that polled 1.9%.

It took me four takes, but quietly reflecting on Dan Wootton's words here, I agree with him... 'GB News and Reform UK are now one and the same'.

Starmer thought he was and I quote “shaking off the fleas”

The Reform claim of sectarian voting is so nonsensical that I can only interpret it as "Muslims shouldn't vote at all." Whether they go Labour or Green, they're not going to vote for the anti-Muslim party, lads. This is what you wanted.

Waking this morning, the first thing I did was check the Groton and Denton by-election result. youtu.be/WohTQ6DZVFg?...

That's the way to do it. So good to see progressive politicians pushing back hard on Reform's messaging. Highly effective and so refreshing and Labour could learn a lot from Polanski in this regard. Take the attack to the Faragists - don't let them get away with it.

100%

Just can’t believe that wanting to financially punish women who miscarry didn’t swing the vote for him. Stupid woke voters.

32 cases it appears. Not enough to make a difference. The right are upset that the Muslim vote chose a white, working class woman, from a party led by a gay Jewish man.

Well done Greens, Even with zero backing from press, they still won. What the Greens would like to give the people and country, many expected from Labour. Reform will never deliver, because they are for the wealthy and poorer racists (division). Vote for real change, not a promise.

The wall is turning from red to green.

What else is there to say but: these people were warned and warned and warned again about this, going back well over ten years and further, and their constant response was: absolutely fuck you, you are all idiots and we are the smart, Sensible people whom understand what the public like and want.

Well well well. A new dawn in British politics. The centre is dead. A party who openly challenges hateful and divisive policies and the public WANT IT. It’s not a done deal that Reform can win on a platform which says Muslims and migrants don’t belong.

As I said three months ago the government will not achieve ‘decency’ over ‘division’ by trying to be Reform Lite youtu.be/bl0Lm7v_T18?...

Can’t wait for an Alistair Heath piece in the DT

May I be delighted that that racist white supremacist creep Goodwin lost the bye-election, and yet also extremely perturbed that more than 10,000 people voted for him?

Poor Matt Goodwin. All he ever wanted was to be a hard working MP/academic/tv presenter/commentator/writer/pollster/wealth adviser/women’s health guru and you all ripped that away from him. A shame

turns out McSweeney and the Blue Labour gang were wrong and the out of touch woke liberal elite Bluesky echo chamber bubble was right

One suspects a Green Party victory in Gorton and Denton will not result in the same wall-to-wall, "rise-and-rise" coverage Reform has received for at least a year. #ukpol

Worth noting the combined Green/Labour vote was more than double Reform. Didn't even need tactical voting to beat them in the end. Maybe if they hadn't picked such a useless candidate they would have done better.

Has there ever been a more graceless and divisive concession? Showing exactly why voters in Gorton and Denton rejected him tonight

What we have seen in Gorton and Denton is what we saw in Caerphilly in October. A lot of people really don’t want the hateful politics of Reform and will work hard and smart to try and keep them out. Labour must now listen to this and stop the grim attempts to mimic Farage.

Private Eye

The more Reform UK male politicians obsess over sex the more convinced I become that being rejected by women is the true engine of the party

Overall low turn-out risks Reform win.

Putting aside the typo/misspelling, Who is researching the impact of whale vomit on the sexual stimulation of rats?

After a couple of luncheon hours in the Pride of Spitalfields it’s time to eat.

False equivalence

People in favour of financial inequality say a wealth tax will cause the wealthiest to leave. Some will - the same people that will leave once they have made all they can from the UK and there’s nothing left.

Is sliding down the handrails safer than running?
