We are dismayed to see calls from Reform council leader, Karl Johnson, for the closure of the Springhill Close housing unit in Outwood. Click here to find out more 👉️ www.wakefieldexpress.co.uk/news/politic...

Cllr Kate Dodd with the caption

It is worrying that Karl Johnson would rather sacrifice the people living and working in Springhill Close residential facility than address the behaviour and find a more sustainable solution for the people housed there.

Now there is hope! It's no longer a choice between grim and grimmer. We can vote for who we want and win. Anywhere. It's just one constituency, but the Green victory in Gorton and Denton is an electric shock to our political system.

Dear @lucympowell.bsky.social, Why did you invent a fake tactical voting company to stop the Green Party beating Reform? I'm starting to think your letters haven't always been in good faith...

Dear Lucy
On the eve of the by-election, your Labour party spokesperson has admitted to the Huffington Post that a
Labour party leaflet has been delivered through doors with your imprint recommending a vote for Labour
by a tactical voting organisation which does not exist.
This is deeply troubling, it is actually lying to voters. Did you approve this? Do you feel the Labour Party
in government should be held to different standards in terms of honesty to the British public?
In your last letter to me you mentioned your ‘very extensive data’ and ‘having spoken to over a third of
eligible voters’ which led you to an understanding that the by election ‘was a contest between labour and
Reform’. Clearly this latest development only tells voters one thing - you will employ any type of
political deception (or in Urdu “Dhoka” ) to win.
You will be very aware that all three real tactical voting organisations are recommending a vote for the
Greens as the best way to stop Reform. Lying to the voters, as you have been caught doing, raises the real
prospect that Reform will be the beneficiaries, something you have said that you don’t want.
As this is such an important issue, for the sake of your own reputation, I would strongly urge you to
apologise to the voters of Denton and Gorton before the polls open in the morning.”
Kind regards,
Zack Polanski
Leader of the Green Party of England and Wales

This is excellent and further establishes the fact that Zack Polanski utilising the "green populism" tag was a masterstroke. If he is allowed the airtime that Farage gets, which I concede is unlikely, but let's just imagine he were, I believe he could have a massive impact on politics in the UK.

Old enough to remember when "the centre" meant support for a mixed economy with room for both publicly-owned industries and private enterprise, corporate power balanced by union power, and promoting of self-reliance tempered by kindness and solidarity. This lot ain't centrists.

7. Hope lies in the recognition that the left can also change the system. That the left too can mount a radical challenge to business as usual. It lies in twigging that elections here haven’t been won from the centre in years, and that this, if we can grasp the potential, can be used to good effect.

6. “Elections are won from the centre” is a mantra used to try to block challenges from the left. It says “you can’t win if you want to change the system”. It ignores the fact that first the neoliberals and now the far right have completely transformed – in some respects replaced - the system.

But I think what got to me most was Tim Stanley's claim that claims of rightwing bias in the media are nonsense, because GB News is constantly complaining about leftwing bias. This, he appears to believe, is an argument. Yet he is treated, across the BBC, as if he were a serious voice.
