Woohoo green wave a move in the right direction(left) for a change

bluemerel.bsky.social•54 days ago

Now do this in the general elections please

ath3na.bsky.social•54 days ago

Well, a tiny bit of it is David Lammy's constituency....

The west side of 'the Ladder' & most of Harringey is Catherine West's constituency

strokebystroke.bsky.social•54 days ago

Wow thought everyone was against making London healthy

rmappleby.bsky.social•54 days ago

Useful to see the state of Reforms performance (or lack thereof) too.

danielinniss.bsky.social•54 days ago

It’s the same story by the way, greens can be trusted at council level but not at national level.

petemarchetto.bsky.social•54 days ago

Is this the one where the LibDem leaflets said only they could beat Labour?

davidwilloughby.bsky.social•54 days ago

Yup

petemarchetto.bsky.social•54 days ago

Thanks, David. In that case, @eddavey.libdems.org.uk Ed Davey, it may be worth considering how many votes the practice gained the LibDems and, perhaps, how many votes the party may have lost because of it.

@heidialexander.bsky.social are you scared yet?

siry4ever.bsky.social•54 days ago

Excellent

labourrightwatch.bsky.social•54 days ago

55%!

kevodell.bsky.social•54 days ago

Of course, now you'll see the Labour Party increasingly punching left instead of right and so enabling Reform. They are, barring some standouts, a disgrace to progressive politics.

theocassionaltog.bsky.social•54 days ago

Won't make one jot of difference whilst McSweeney is still around.

slantedsearch.bsky.social•53 days ago

That’s a woody word. Not tinny. Eviscerated.

Turnout: 1,920 (28.84%)
Electorate: 6,657

Interesting, in Canada the Green Party acts as Conservative flypaper to catch all the nutters.

rachelyn75.bsky.social•54 days ago

OFFT didn't know that...👀👀👀

collie-dog.bsky.social•54 days ago

I guess that is the outcome of chasing a small and pointless Reform voter base does for you eh @teamlabouruk.bsky.social

eightbittony.bsky.social•54 days ago

FWIW that's not an official Labour Party account.

collie-dog.bsky.social•53 days ago

Fair - I suspect a mistake many make, I am going to cover my mistake by claiming it’s the thought that counts

eightbittony.bsky.social•53 days ago

Yep, I know because I also did it.

grannyknowsbest.bsky.social•53 days ago

Great news

powerfromspace1.bsky.social•53 days ago

Poor red Tory party. 🤷🏽🇬🇧

charlieparish.bsky.social•54 days ago

I can't say I'm surprised.

brentcrude.bsky.social•54 days ago

That is an insane swing, but can if be right? If Cons are on 4% with a +4 swing it would mean they were on 0% previously?

cwadeevans.bsky.social•54 days ago

But didn’t reform do well!

carob48.bsky.social•54 days ago

🙌💚

sg99.bsky.social•54 days ago

Wow!

stephenswan.bsky.social•53 days ago

Good! The Greens and the Liberal Democrat’s need to do the same at the next general election to cause a hung parliament. Labour is betraying the voters who voted for, and voted tactically, to remove the last Conservative government.

michael-martin22.bsky.social•54 days ago

I would rather have a protest vote against Labour going to the Green Party than to the Tories or Reform UK.One hopes this will bring Labour to its senses and acknowledge the will of the people.

robert111.bsky.social•54 days ago

You do not seemed to have learned very much, Starmer is a state asset

francesnaggs.bsky.social•53 days ago

Which state?

robert111.bsky.social•53 days ago

Any but for the British people, corporations MI5 MI6 take your pick, But GTTO adults in the room now! Like taking candy from a baby, you can tell them the truth but they prefer the lie

lancashirehotpot.bsky.social•53 days ago

The US state, very specifically

interestedpartyuk.bsky.social•54 days ago

Eviscerated and lammy in the same sentence. Lush.

oliviamlondon.bsky.social•54 days ago

Most excellent result. Labour deserve punishment for their dire record: attaching the children, the pensioners, disabled people, Trans people and gleefully facilitating a genocide. People aren’t all borderline fascists. Most are caring people who wanted compassionate policies at home & abroad.

bebsdotteragain.bsky.social•54 days ago

Well said! 👍

iainfrew2024.bsky.social•54 days ago

That's what's happens when you try to go fascist/tory/ukip/reform lite...

londonsunshine.bsky.social•54 days ago

No surprise here, anyone of a progressive viewpoint is going to be appalled by this government…

cillacat.bsky.social•54 days ago

Should be a massive wake up call to Labour. They are not making a difference to the people. They need to start the CHANGE they promised.

leemeade.bsky.social•53 days ago

My old stomping grounds. Lynne Featherstone was MP. Or Lady Featherstone now. Good.

stubakes.bsky.social•54 days ago

I like that. Possibly people are starting to see that Tory/ Labour are just different sides of the same grubby corporate-owned coin? Also that Reform are as bad as Trump.

antineoliberalism.bsky.social•54 days ago

Same neoliberal playbook as the USA.

They want us to focus on the ReFUK threat from bigoted Britain.

More of us want progressive policies and closest alignment with the EU.

Labour must be made to listen.

robert111.bsky.social•54 days ago

Fuck 'Labour' hope they sink far below the waves never to return
