This is massive, and disgraceful. No organisation called “Tactical Choice” appears to exist.

This is a massive scandal. Labour has invented a made-up tactical vote organisation to trick Gorton and Denton into voting for them. How can this even be legal?

It's embarrassingly weak, their defence is to claim the greens started it by pointing to one poll they said was misleading, so that justifies full on fake media productions, straight after they pulled up Reform for "inadvertently" pulling a similar stunt. Just piss poor leadership on display.

All political parties do similar things and it’s not against any rules. As long as you don’t defame your opponent and put an imprint on it, you can say whatever you want on electoral leaflets. It’s how the Greens was able to put this misleading bar chart on their leaflets.

Look at Reform's trick, with the "letter from a concerned neighbour". If you're brazen enough, you can get away with it! But the electorate have to have photo ID, because two people might have lied once.

The present Labour Party has abandoned honesty & decency. The old Labour Party was eviscerated by a group that had no scruples over using deceit & cruel bullying to gain power. In power, the Labour Party continues to show the same lack of morality.

Dirty tactics gone meta. Labour don't want to win this: they know they can't. So they are trying to split the vote and stop the Greens. They'll happily throw the people of Gorton & Denton under the bus and let Reform win if that means they can use "it's Us or Reform" on the doorstep in future.

Keith @keithcowans.bsky.social · 26/02/2026

From about three posts above this on my feed. I would hope all parties engaging in this would be called out and held to account equally, that tighter rules with meaningful penalties are brought into place. Guess what's not going to happen.

An advert dressed up as a fake news format with RFM 38%, GRN 35% and Labour 20%. Even if these figures are accurate the first two are high on the page, Labour well down at the bottom of the page, implying they are much lower in comparison than they are.

Labour sinks to new lows every single day. Every hour there’s another scandal, more sleaze, a party drenched in hypocrisy - “I’ll clean up politics” Starmer said. Some cheek on him. There is a lack of appetite for The Labour Party. The progressive vote in Gorton and Denton is Green ✅

Political version of ‘Dirty Business’ from UK Labour If they’re going to make things up in similar form as the Zenoviev letter to stymie the election you’d think they’d have done it to the right wing opposition as opposed to the party that’s pushing many of the policies on their original manifesto.

Are Labour realising that their ultimate nightmare scenario in Gorton and Denton is to come third with Greens winning? Greens would then be the surging progressive party of choice, Reform the party of backward-looking bigots, with Labour as irrelevant to the main political battle lines as the Tories
