Labour is briefing that they know they won't win the Gorton and Denton by election.
The Greens are favourites and are the only party that can stop Reform.
Lower bills, tax the rich, protect the NHS. We will win.

Putting the numbers into @jaclarner.bsky.social’s Senedd election simulator, suggests the following potential Senedd composition:
Interestingly, these numbers put Plaid very close to majority govt or, more likely, a vaguely comfortable life as a minority administration? #senedd #devolution

Great progress in new poll for Wales.
Absolutely no complacency though. We're campaigning for every vote between now and May 7th.
Wales needs rent controls, nationalised water and funded public services. To do that, Wales needs to vote Green.

Homeless people were given free money, no strings attached. Here's what happened
A new trial gave homeless people £2,000 to spend however they choose. What they spent the money on may surprise you.

If only there were some way, mathematically, to defeat 33% of the population. Alas, it is impossible, and Labour have no choice but to acquiesce to their every demand and nevertheless accept their humiliating defeat as a fait accompli.
The far-right don’t need Labour to validate them.
If you think 33% or more of the population’s concerns about irregular immigration are irrelevant then you might think again. By focusing relentlessly on the negative we will reap the reward of a Farage government. And that would be 💩. For everyone.
