There is going to be plenty written about this result and what it means but for me the most interesting take-away from the result is that the turn-out was barely different from 2024. With all the hype and resources thrown at this (and I saw claims that on the last day the Greens had 2000 people out on the streets with Labour not far behind), they all still struggled to get people out to vote.
The strength of the old UKIP vote in terms of winning Brexit, was reaching the voter who had not bothered in a long, long time. With this a formula Reform needed to replicate here. And which they clearly failed to do.
The Greens are a flash in the pan. Literally riding on the back of the Muslim vote being pissed off with Labour for sucking on the Zionist tit. And which will ultimately prove its downfall because they simply cannot maintain that charade going forward. And even if they manage to keep the farce going, actually helps us on the Right because the Islamic branding will send more people our way.
Question for Labour now is whether they ditch Starmer now or wait until after May? Because the reality is that if Burnham had stood, they would still have this seat. As simple as that.
