Who’s staying up for Gorty Dents?

@patrickhadfield I am very familiar with the fun of waking up at 4am, checking your phone, finding out that fascism has won again, then trying to get back to sleep.
@Nickiquote @patrickhadfield ah, so i'm *not* alone in this particular form of self-flagellation!
-
@beecycling In the past few years those results have indeed been very fast as usual, but not exactly uplifting.
@Nickiquote Sadly true. For Sunderland anyway. Newcastle hasn't fallen for the Reform BS yet. They don't even have any councillors never mind MPs.

@Nickiquote The council is nearly always Labour controlled, with occasional flips to the Lib Dems. (There's only one Tory councillor in the whole city right now.) It's currently no overall control, because a bunch of Labour councillors left the party to sit as independents due to some internal party shenanigans, but Labour are still in charge as a minority administration.
All seats up for grabs in May, and new ward boundaries. Should be interesting.

@Nickiquote Anyway, I'm not staying up for the by-election. I bet there will be recounts, given how close the result appears likely to be.

Matt Goodwin’s divorce went through this year. I wonder if it was because his wife realised he’d become a fascist cunt. #gortonanddenton #UKpol #GortyDents
