A confused census form. The surname of my gg grandmother has been misrecorded - it's Forscutt not Fortescue. The relation to head of household should be 'Head' not 'Mother'. (The change of street number plus \\ marking show a new household.) Consequently, the Ancestry indexing is a mess!

The Labour NEC just turned the Gorton and Denton by-election into a two horse race - Reform vs Green. Without a star candidate who might win, I think many Labour voters will vote tactically for Green. If I were a betting man (which thank the Lord I'm not sir) my money would be on a Green victory.

Electoral Calculus is currently predicting a Green Part win in Gorton and Denton, but with a majority of under 100 (assuming reduced turnout in a by-election). This does allow for tactical voting, but makes no allowance for the impact of a well known candidate such as Andy Burnham.
