Labour is getting desperate in Gorton & Denton (where a by-election takes place in less than month), with Lucy Powell (Labour's Deputy Leader) writing to Zack Polanski to tell him the Green Party of England & Wales is being 'played' by Reform to split the Left vote.

Well, if any party is being played by Reform its more likely Labour who have shifted their policy stance in response to Reform's political declarations.

Given Labour's repellent cosplaying of Reform in an effort to woo voters that would prefer a poison pill to voting Labour one really has to wonder who's been being played this past couple of years. It sounds like Labour's soiling its underwear at the realisation that the Greens have become a consolidating point for all the disaffected voters that used to be Labour's natural constituency. Turns out the party can't piss on its chips and eat them too.

Less than a week into the Gorton & Denton buy-election campaign & Reform UIK Ltd (the business masquerading as a political party) are being investigated by the police for failing to disclose that a letter sent to voters was paid for by Reform.

As usual Reform are trying to blame others (this time claiming it was their printer who failed to include the legally required notice of funding), but we can be confident there's dodginess more to come.

Today residents in Gorton and Denton received a letter from a concerned elderly local resident, urging them to vote Reform.

It seems the letter didn't come from a concerned elderly local resident at all, but from Reform themselves. It's a clear breach of electoral law, and just so snidey.
