Thank you very much and God bless you.

Wow a list of "heavyweights". A potential leadership challenger for Labour, Reform's chairman Yusuf, "Georgeous" George Galloway and the Green Party leader

Incredible!

Let's wait for final declarations and decisions today!

The left could split the vote three-ways

I hope this happens because Reform will be favored

I forgot to mention Burnham is effectively mayor of that district and popular

Unless the voters swing behind him the vote could be split heavily therefore i’d make Reform slight favorites?

I will check with the betting operators later when the picture is clearer

Let’s GO!

It looks like he’s running for it in the special election, yes..

He’s already got posters up or his supporters have.

His party is the “Workers Party of Great Britain” and would attract disaffected Leftist voters.

Odds of good decision making tanked after their deep state undermined Brexit and installed the Indian.

Last I checked 30 councils have had their elections postponed.

Almost 14 million citizens will be denied a vote.

In councils that likely would have voted Reform.

So much for a special election.

This by-election is either practice or a throw-away.

So what’s the play here? Galloway just to stick to Labour? The voters there might agree. Galloway perennially does this.

The ones who paid off BEFORE the election on Mrs. Bill Clinton becoming president?

A defeated and complicit population, government offices filled with north africans, Farage found wanting, it’s a Brussels playground.

"...the highest profile in modern political history!"

So just how many "special elections" do you reckon they held in ancient political history?
