Supplemental voting works. In the Greater Manchester Mayoral election, the first ballot showed that a majority of voters do not support the “Labour” Party, and the second ballot showed that a supermajority of voters prefer “Labour” to “Reform.” Which is accurate.

Nero fiddled while Rome burned. Andy Burn ‘Em drills for oil in the North Sea, knowing it will do nothing to lower prices or create jobs, while Britain burns.

The easiest way Burnham could have shown he was different from Starmer in any way at all would have been to stop arresting peaceful protestors for saying genocide is wrong. Instead, 100s arrested, including Sir Jonathon, the SAME DAY High Court agreed to hear appeal of unconscionable protest ban.

Hannah and Geraldine are so funny and wholesome. I love them so much! Come on Greater Manchester—if Gorton and Denton can do it, we can too!

Only in polling stations this Thursday, 30th July from 7am... 🍿 Geraldine Coggins is your Green mayoral candidate ready to take Greater Manchester back from big money. Vote Green first tomorrow 💚

2 stories on The Guardian: (1) US soldiers rape young Britons with impunity, (2) PM says if young Britons want jobs, they’ll have to work for the military-industrial complex. No wonder young people leave Labour, love Greens. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026... www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Manchester! Polls open soon. Remember to give your first vote to the Green Party’s Geraldine Coggins: for affordable housing, free bus travel for under-22s, and a Greater Manchester that welcomes everyone, not just rich white people. Coggins for Manchester! #VoteGreen

A year ago I fled Trump’s fascist USA for Manchester. I joined the Green Party because they are the only party that welcomes immigrants like me. Manchester is for everyone. Do the right thing tomorrow, my fellow Mancs. Give Geraldine Coggins your first vote for Greater Manchester Mayor. #VoteGreen

Burnham says he wants to fix social care, but won’t invite Green MPs, who have worked extensively on this issue, to his so-called “cross-party talks.” Meanwhile, his Home Secretary wants to deport all the carers. Labour have no interest in fixing Britain’s problems. Greens do. Coggins for Mayor!

Readers added context: Clacton voters don’t think anything about “their MP” because they don’t currently have one. Clacton is not “Nigel Farage’s constituency” because he resigned from Parliament. He is currently fighting a by-election against a bin, and losing. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Burnham: Won’t tax wealth or control rent but will slash welfare. Genocide still on, US still bombing Iran from UK bases, Mahmood still peddling performative cruelty at Home Office. Britain: Well at least he’s not Starmer. Manchester deserves better. Tomorrow, vote for GERALDINE COGGINS. #VoteGreen

Burnham won’t tax wealth or allow rent controls, but WILL raise a tiny pittance of £ on the backs of the most vulnerable by slashing welfare, and somehow the centre-right monstrosity that he leads is still allowed to call itself a “Labour” Party. Manchester deserves better. Vote Coggins for Mayor!

Labour have been consumed by Islamophobia. New PM complicit in genocide, just like old one. Bev Craig didn’t even show up for GM mayoral hustings because it was organised by Muslims. Only the Greens understand that Manchester is for EVERYONE. Give your first vote to Geraldine Coggins on Thursday.

The MOST convincing performance of a young Greek soldier in Nolan’s Odyssey is from Elliot Page: scared & brave, vulnerable & resolute, all at once. What’s the word for performing an identity different from the one that society assigned you? Oh, yeah: ACTING.

My Irish ancestors immigrated to America, and now I have immigrated to England. I joined the Green Party because they are the only English party that welcomes immigrants. Now I’m trying to help an Irish immigrant called Geraldine Coggins become Greater Manchester’s first Green Mayor. #VoteGreen

The kids are alright in Clacton. Asked what they think of Farage, one spoke for many: “He’s a wanker, that’s what he is. He’s done nothing at all.” I hope the adults are listening. Vote for Count Binface! #Binface4Clacton thedailybritain.co.uk/clacton-kids...

Burnham gave Greater Manchester the £2 bus ride, then decided he’d rather be PM. Geraldine Coggins will give under-22s FREE bus rides, build 20k affordable houses, and strengthen GM’s resilience to climate change so our kids can live here. Give her your first vote in Thursday’s by-election!

Burnham gets economic advice from Goldman Sachs, rules out wealth tax. Polanski meets with Thomas Piketty, the preeminent historian of economic inequality. Greens are the only party who will tax wealth to reduce inequality. Greater Manchester, give your first vote to Geraldine Coggins on Thursday.

Zack Polanski@zackpolanski.bsky.social · 2w ago

Brilliant to meet with Thomas Piketty at the Paris School of Economics. We discussed monetary and fiscal policy, bond markets, the climate crisis and global wealth taxes. Also recorded a podcast for @boldpolitics.bsky.social - out soon!

I honestly don’t see how anyone will ever believe that the Democratic Party has the slightest interest in fighting fascism if a Democratic Governor won’t call a special election to fill the Senate seat of the late Mitch McConnell.

Labour: No rent controls or wealth tax, but loads of £ for war & genocide. Reform: fighting a bin in Clacton. Only the Green Party left, fighting for the values that made Manchester great: diversity, inclusion, mutual aid. Give your first vote to Geraldine Coggins on Thursday. #Coggins4Manchester!

People are outraged at Labour’s complicity with genocide. Burnham won’t even admit that it IS genocide, let alone do anything to stop it. But if we elect Geraldine Coggins Mayor next week, she will twin Manchester with Ramallah, capital of Palestine. #VoteGreen www.politicshome.com/news/article...

Burnham talks about “local economic growth,” but what he really means is ramping up the military-industrial complex to turn Britain into a warfare state. First he makes Healey Chancellor. Then he opens “No. 10 North” in Heron House, the NW home of GCHQ spy agency. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

New Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband calls for "an end to the terrible suffering of the people of Gaza and security for the people of Israel.” Gazans are suffering because the state of Israel is committing genocide on the orders of the war criminal Netanyahu. Miliband knows this, but cannot say so.

The genocide continues, Trump can use UK bases to bomb Iran, our immigrant neighbours are scared to leave their homes, trans people can’t use the toilet, there’s loads of money for war and none for NHS or education…but we can ride the bus for £2. Thanks, Wigan Keir. #VoteGreen

So Burnhamism is exactly like Starmerism, but you can ride the bus for two quid. Well in Manchester we can already ride the bus for two quid, because that’s the one useful thing Burnham did before he f’ed off to Downing Street. I reckon we can do better. Give your first vote to Coggins for GM Mayor!

My fellow Mancunians! Andy Burnham has kept the cruel and ineffective Shabana Mahmood as Home Secretary. Labour have betrayed the hardworking immigrants who made Manchester great. We’re better than that. It’s time for a change. Make Geraldine Coggins your first choice for GM Mayor. #VoteGreen

Burnham’s premiership is over on day one. Mahmood will continue to implement the cruel, senseless immigration policies of a “party" who are currently losing a by-election to a bin. Healey will waste billions fighting Trump’s wars. Miliband won’t challenge or even acknowledge Israel’s genocide.

Apparently Rip-Off Britain extends to ripping off Green slogans. PM Wigan Keir says he will “bring back hope.” With Mahmood continuing her reign of performative cruelty at Home Office? With Healey spending £ on bombs instead of the green infrastructure that would actually increase our security?

Number of affordable homes each candidate will build if elected. Bev Craig: 0. Count Binface: 1. Geraldine Coggins: 20,000. Coggins for Manchester! #VoteGreen
