Oh I don't have a problem with Burnham - seems a decent man. However, that won't help in Gorton and Denton. He had to be the candidate to do that

Open Council Data lists 9 - I think all defections from Reform. Certainly none elected under those colours

I think Advance ran 2 candidates - actually the same person. In his home ward where he was well know and an ex-Cllr he scored 12%. Down the road where he had no personal vote he managed 2%. (Reform had 46% and 36%)

As you know Sam 'the brand' is crucial on the far right. Splits from the NF, the BNP and now Reform make a lot of noise but can't compete with the main group while it remains a force. If Reform imploded or Farage popped his clogs THEN this bunch might have an opportunity. Not before.

Somewhat fixed grins - I bet they didn't look any better after a day listening to what Denton thinks about them!

A wonderful question - I thought it was the NF and then I thought the WRP but as soon as others mentioned the People's Party I thought 'Of course!'

The rules don't apply to him and people like him. Didn't you know that? (We're yet to actually see for sure that they do - a good few years in max security would be convincing for him and others like him)

Goodwin is an elitist Southern ex-academic who's entire philosophy is fearing people who look different to himself. Seems a great fit for that seat!

It is more a case that certain social media is basically now doing the equivalent job of Russia Today. There were circumstances when banning Russia Today became appropriate.
