A headline from GB News stating: Motorists switch to using public transport to avoid paying ยฃ5 daily congestion charge
In shock news, motorists have switched to public transport to avoid paying the Oxford Congestion Charge.
A spokesperson* said: "This is exactly what was meant to happen, and it did."
OK, the Gorton and Denton by-election, I have some thoughts!
Let's take a look at some of the FACTS and burst a few of the more ridiculous takes doing the rounds
But first up, can we acknowledge just what bad losers Reform are?!๐คฃ
Right, let's get started...

Be the guy that runs to help. Not the guy that stands there and films it.
Reacting to Labour's devastating loss to the Green Party in Gorton and Denton, Keir Starmer claims that only Labour can unite communities. I agree. He convinced Muslims to vote for a white working class woman representing a party led by a gay Jewish man.
This is terrible from Starmer. Just absolute trash. And any normal voter looking at the new MP and then reading this description will think him mad.
good to see you today, it was a inspiring workshop

These people are poison. They will unleash racist thugs on the streets of this country and call it security. They will subjugate us to the US and call it patriotism. They must be stopped. There is no more important task in politics.

I am shocked, shocked, to learn that people who invested money in a company famously run by a pair of dickheads may lose it all.
A political party that spent years yelling "Britain Is Full!" suddenly declaring that UK women should be forced to be broodmares by the state, I'd say 'lacks a coherent ideology', so is presumably run by a bunch of vile reactionary chancers who are easily bought. But then, I'm cynical like that.
It is as wonderful as you would hope
Billionaires are money hoarders. No one can spend $1 billion, let alone $100bn, on things they & their families need, or even really want. If they gave away 99% of their loot, this lot would still be absurdly, obscenely rich. Their wealth is socially useless, kept out of circulation for status alone

This duet cover of Radiohead's "Creep", between a son and his Shastriya Sangeet classically trained mother, is the mash-up I didn't know how much I needed in my life. Totally spontaneous sobbing may have taken place.
