I'm well aware of Andrew Feinstein. As I said the constituency has seen the biggest Labour majority under a left wing leader. This seat is there for the taking at the next GE

Mike @mike1871.bsky.social · 09/10/2026
Of course it's a slim majority. One tenth of the majority Starmer enjoyed when Corbyn was leader. So there is no doubt this is a seat a left wing candidate can win. The largest majorities in this seat have occurred under a left wing Labour leader.

Disagree. I would be astonished if Burnham was as popular in two years time. The cost of living is going to be a big problem for Labour going into the next GE. Their majority in this seat is now slim too.

The BBC do make me laugh when they emphasise Labour won the by election by more than 3,000 votes. Big woop. They won the seat with a majority of more than 30,000 when Corbyn was leader. This will be a target seat for the Greens at the next GE.

I think the seat was already lost prior to the vote. The odds on a Green win were lengthening throughout the campaign. Labour won because of a Burnham bounce. They are very unlikely to have that in 2029. This is now very much a Green target seat.

Mike @mike1871.bsky.social · 08/10/2026
Good luck Zack. Whatever happens the Labour majority of 30,509 from less than a decade ago will be very slim by tomorrow morning if you don't manage to win.

I bet he doesn't accept your suggestion.

There is very little difference between Lab/Con/Reform. They are all bought and compromised.

Disgusting and evil. The world continues to allow these maniacs to continue the slaughter.

There is going to be a huge amount of bad stuff that comes out about him in terms years to follow and he will get away with it all

I hope you win

Mike @mike1871.bsky.social · 30/09/2026
Yep. Argued with many of them over that. They tend to ignore hiw useless the Remain campaign was. Led, of course, by the feeble Kinnock and Postman Pat Johnson.

Mike @mike1871.bsky.social · 30/09/2026
I know. They will be disappointed again.

He is seriously evil anyway.

Mike @mike1871.bsky.social · 28/09/2026
Well he did do a lot of bombing in Libya, Syria, Yemen, Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan etc. Not the nice guy some make him out to be. It would be good if the US voted in a President who didn't want to bomb the crap out of other countries for a change.

He's a pitiful little racist. A no mark followed by the brain dead

Another scummy right winger who used the Labour Party as a vehicle to make money.

Sadly most of Israelis support the disgusting massacre of Palestinians. Israel is a terrorist state.

The hypocrisy of the West. We can have nuclear weapons. Israel can have them but Iran can't. The bullying colonial mindset lives on.

Mike @mike1871.bsky.social · 15/09/2026
He is on some issues. On others his views are archaic and more associated with the right.

Yep I think you're right.

What a stupid thing to do. This will split the left wing vote.

I cannot believe Sheeran has bowed down to this. Very disappointing.

Poor decision. The goal should have been disallowed. However if Foden sees red then Fernandes has to and he wasn't even booked.

Mike @mike1871.bsky.social · 13/09/2026
Burnham is a little bit more to the left but the Overton Window has moved so much to the right that he would have been on the right of the Labour Party in the 60's and 70's. Our democracy is under real threat. Burnham has to be much stronger and these crypto donations need to be investigated.
040
Mike @mike1871.bsky.social · 13/09/2026
This is what happens with a weak centre right Labour Govt being too feeble to challenge what is happening. They should have brought in Leveson 2, forced Gibb out at the BBC and capped political donations. They chose not to because they are part of the problem.
171
Mike @mike1871.bsky.social · 12/09/2026
This should have been avoided. Burnham reneged on his commitment to cap donations and here we are. It's almost as if Labour want Reform to win the next GE.
030
Mike @mike1871.bsky.social · 12/09/2026
Right wing media, far right billionaires and weak so called progressive parties. Labour should have come in and immediately applied pressure on the BBC to get rid of Gibb. They should have gone ahead with Leveson 2. Burnham should have put a cap on political donations. He backed away. Very weak.
110
Mike @mike1871.bsky.social · 11/09/2026
Fully agree. Piss weak from Burnham and Labour. Yet again a so called progressive party proves to be spineless allowing the far right to strengthen.

Absolutely. These sanctions are the bare minimum.

The PL teams have made a strong start. Villa winning in Bruges, Arsenal in Napoli, Citeh at Napoli and Liverpool being Atletico. You really should be winning with a bit to spare.

Was arguing with someone the other night who was horrified I wasn't voting Labour and said to me "so you're voting Tory then". The arrogance of these people defies belief.

Mike @mike1871.bsky.social · 07/09/2026
They were saying the same about Starmer

Mike @mike1871.bsky.social · 07/09/2026
Wrong. Israel is a radicalised society where the vast majority want Gaza ethnically cleansed of Palestinians.
