Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!

Yesterday I heard the news, Oh Boy. Keir Starmer said he's fighting on

And though that news was rather sad.
Well I just had to laugh. I saw the photograph.
Keir noticed that the votes had changed.
A crowd of commentators stared.
They'd seen his face before.
Up in Denton knocking at a door.

Don't know how I'll vote in May.
At the local election here in Haringey
So I looked up Labour's website
Just to know what my choice of candidates will show.
It had faces from four years ago.

James H, Please forget my bad doggerel. I you want to explore this result a little further with a smile, My choice is The Guardian's Marina Hyde: Labour "Having romped home in third place.

Plus, if HoL members haven't seen it, I much enjoyed Aaron Bastani of Novara Media explaining why the Reform candidate for Denton and Gorton had come across as, cross. And a grump and a complainer. Not a good winner after all.
