@montie@AllisonPearson I wonder what role Keir Starmer had in the police’s statement that there was no politics involved as he had a phone call with the Chief Constable before the police’s statement. I’m surprised nobody is asking that question.
🚨 UPDATE: The white British man arrested over the suspected murder of Ann Widdecombe has been re-arrested on suspicion of preparing or instigating acts of terrorism
@DPJHodges How has it been hijacked? They’ve created a ‘book’ of condolences, attended a memorial and endeavoured to ensure the safety of leading party figures. The one person hijacking her death is you with your continuous anti-Farage tweets.
@FraserNelson Tories terrified of losing another deposit. Kemi can’t lose four times in a row to Farage in by-elections so she sits it out and pretends to take the higher ground.
@francessmith I think he probably wins Thursday but would there ever have been a PM, assuming he wins the leadership, in such an unsafe seat at the next GE?
@lewis_goodall@AaronBastani I haven’t noticed much response from the centre left when it comes to billionaires like George Soros other than a full embrace. Is it only certain billionaires that bother you?
@JLPartnersPolls@thetimes I don’t know about turkey’s voting for Christmas, some of the comments in this thread are lanyard class ostriches burying their head in the sand.
@francessmith On the other hand, winning here, especially if it’s fairly comfortable is a really good sign for a future GE. It’s a crucial by-election for both Burnham and Labour as well as Reform.
@francessmith It is a bit. It means they can’t win their 12th target seat with AB on the ballot and if he does win, he’ll be on ballot in every seat. I’m a Reform supporter so I want them to win but I do see downside to losing. It also helps demonstrate that a targeted anti-Reform vote works.
