Manchester firmly rejected right wing divisive politics in this election. Great news to wake up to.

Starmer is fine, it’s exhausting seeing the media try and trash him and call for us resignation. The bigger news is Manchester rejected far right lunacy, let’s instead shit on Reform please.

It’s a relief that people rejected reform.
Labour were going to get a kicking, but were not far off reform either.
Tories lost their deposit.
Hopefully it signals to Badenoch that chasing the far right is destined to lead to the death of their party.

This is great, in manchester of all places too somewhere you might expect reform to do well, the online bot farms aren’t going to like it but it hopefully shows theyre not as influential as they like to think.
I personally always voted Labour, but even I can’t after they attacked disability as soon as they got in instead of attacking the obvious wealth divide. People may not like to hear it but Starmer really hurt labour and helped the greens.
Green is the only viable left option. All the others low-key want reform to get in to make the changes they’re too scared to make that are against public interest.
It will be a brutal fight to keep out a labour,tory,libdem / reform coalition.

The big news here is that Brits voted tactically to keep Reform away as the Greens got even more votes than the most optimistic poll…which gives me hope that Britain will not embrace Fascism

The UK is becoming more and more divided and radical. Thankfully i am not from the UK, because if i was i would be seeing how to flee that country. Whoever wins is gonna make it worse place to live. The Greens are basically British Peronist, aka no better way to get your economy to be stagnated for decades and Reform are British MAGA. Hell on earth.
The only positive thing is that whoever wins and ends up making a goverment is that their popularity will fall. There is no better way for a party to lose popularity than to govern.

Not exactly embarrassing.. they knew that the minute they stopped Burnham from standing they were going to lose.. the fact it was the greens and not reform is great and reform only just got second (3ish%)
The local elections are going to go a similar way because that’s what happens in local elections the government get a slap

Hannah’s acceptance speech was fantastic. “You work hard and you should be able to enjoy a nice life with holidays and yet too many hard working families are struggling”. I’m glad the Greens have shown that running an authentic local candidate with a positive campaign can win.
Great to see Reform comprehensively beaten. Unsurprising that it wasn’t close, considering Reform ran a non-local, upper class candidate from St Albans in a diverse and largely working class Manchester constituency.

It’s not that bad. It’s better to loose to the greens than it is to reform.
I’ll take an underpowered parter than a cancer anytime

What this means for actual skilled migrants who are doing a job, paying taxes, have no access to benefits and working towards residency: Labour will be further forced to show the reform voters that they are anti-immigrant as much as reform, and make things tougher and tougher and tougher for migrants who are in the UK through legal means and doing things by the book, as they are the easy, unrepresented and powerless target to opress. Depressing but I guess that would make a many people happy.

And now we took a page out of Trumps book as the Reform cheated election posts begin.

Why is the bigger story not that only a 47% voter turn out?
If someone could reach the apathetic 53%, they would stroll into power.

My favourite take so far: „Reform unhappy that a white working class candidate won“.

Reform and their voters found out that bots will only get you so far…… as in X….. you’ll be big on X, so, well, there’s that for them, I guess.

Maybe trying to be Tory lite is not the winning strategy Starmer thinks it is.

Better Green than bloody Reform.
