We were shockingly and unceremoniously disconnected from mains power on Tuesday 😮 A huge thankyou to everyone who pulled together to get this game powered so we could welcome 1,117 fans to watch our second league win of the season. 🤝 #ForzaClapton

On the eve of the Gorton & Denton by-election the Labour Party have invented a fake tactical voting organisation to put on their leaflets. Lying to voters is all they have left. All the (real) tactical voting organisations agree: only a Green vote can stop Reform on Thursday.

A Warning: there is no tactical voting site called "Tactical Choice"
If you choose to vote tactically it's important to seek independent, impartial advice. And always check the source online, as printed leaflets could be out of date, or even intentionally misleading.
