Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
10 April St Anns Byelection - help oust Labour
Remember to vote or Labour will get in again and it will be the same old story for a few more years.
The Greens nearly won last time and only need a handful more votes to get across the line.
And remember to take ID.

Rebellion: from the council's PR slogan, "The Rebel Borough" … to the rebel Ward in reality.
Unlike her predecessor, the current leader hasn't made any big mistakes, but this isn't good enough.
If the Labour Party ditched Steer Calmer, then their future might look brighter, but there is no sign of this.
In the face of the climate crisis that gradually but inexorably worsens, locally and nationally Labour are doing nothing or doing little and certainly not doing enough. The Greens are likely to strengthen.

Reform won in the byelection up in Manchester last night. The tide is turning.
Revoke the woke
Restore the before
Protect the next!

IN the Rebel Ward yesterday, the tide did not turn to Reform.
Reform finished in fifth-place.

It never will in Haringey/Tottenham. The battle here will only ever be between left wing parties. It's too late for London.

Long long gone are my days of door-knocking, leafleting and all the other largely ceremonial by-election tasks. Especially since the option of postal ballots. But I was delighted to read here that at least one polling station had a queue.
I was also pleased that David Lammy MP had recently honoured his legal training and has spoken out to recognise genocide. (Even if it appeared Starmer may not.) The Green policy on Israel/Palestine/Gaza at least offers voters an option.https://www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2025/04/11/its-time-labour-save...
If people are looking for another alternative to Reeves/Starmer's New Torynomics I strongly suggest you follow Prof Stephen Murphy's latest blog available online for free. Prof Murphy proposes, for example, the aim of reducing Child Poverty.

We are though, witnessing the inevitability and irony of left devouring left.

Beyond St Ann's and Haringey, we are witnessing Reform UK gaining ground.
The splitting of votes on the right is being felt in different ways.
For example, in Newcastle Under Lyme at the last General Election, a former New Labour Haringey councillor is unlikely to have won without Reform dividing Conservative support.
Will Reform devour the Conservatives and is that inevitable?

I don't think it's the splitting of votes on the right but splitting of votes along class and patriotic lines across the political spectrum.
For instance, many traditionally Labour-held seats in working class areas are moving to Reform. Similarly, working class people in traditionally Conservative-held seats are moving to Reform too.
Basically, those who suffer the worst effects of globalisation and mass uncontrolled immigration are voting Reform because noone else is listening to them. This is not just the English, Scottish and Welsh but also the broader British population including the second and third generation Carribeans and Indians who arrived before the 1990s.
The middle classes in the inner cities who have gained from mass immigration (eg. Tax free, cheap cleaners, handymen and junk food deliveries) and who have been insulated from the downsides (eg. Competition for housing, school places, medical services, suburban street crime and anti-social behaviour) are switching from Labour to the LibDems and the Greens.
The Conservatives are done for. The same is happening to Labour. They are splitting between the emergent Blue Labour movement (economically left, socially conservative and anti-globalist) and the.client Muslim vote. The latter I expect will also leave Labour as the emergent Islamic party gets stronger (5 MPs elected in this parliament) and bound to increase given the opposition among many Muslim voters to the Labour Government's position on Israel's response to the Hamas attacks.
