He now knows your name, your random question and your security question.

I would be very happy if you were George Clooney, Pandora.

George is very happily married to a lawyer.

His aunt was Rosemary Clooney one of the sisters in White Christmas.

That is excellent!

10pm. Polls have closed. Let's hope we don't wake up to a Reform victory.

PickAChew · 26/02/2026 23:29

Enjoying the headline generator 😊

Lots of blue lights tonight. I live quite close to Frankland nick. I sense trouble at 'mill.

placemats · 26/02/2026 23:34

I had a wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow blue light two nights ago. It was real. I hadn't fallen asleep rewatching The Wire.

Greens looking like they'll win in Gorton and Denton

PandoraSocks · 27/02/2026 04:28

Yep. Reform is going to whine about voter fraud.

PandoraSocks · 27/02/2026 04:30

Labour third.

PandoraSocks · 27/02/2026 04:31

Goodwin looks sick.

Pointofsingularity · 27/02/2026 04:44

Ouch.

Better luck next time, PoS. Your man Goodwin looked very pained as Spencer was speaking. Ouch indeed.

Goodwin? My man? You’ve got me all wrong PS.

I’ve changed - I am now contemplating getting behind the Greens don’t ya know.

Although, I must confess - I wonder what level of blowback there will be on your man Starmer…

Piggywaspushed · 27/02/2026 05:38

I shall set my stall out and say I have woken up pleased and relived. I like Hannah Spencer and she beat awful Goodwin by a lot. I couldn't even have told you the Lab candidate's name. they ran a very poor campaign. Goodwin's words in defeat about 'Islamists and woke progressives ' are chilling and the Tories are laughable.
This result shows the Labour government now lacks any support in the country and has no mandate for the terrible policies it is pursuing - increasing the benefits bill, raising taxes, weakening our borders and the armed forces.
"Only the Conservatives have the experience, the plans and the team to ensure a stronger economy and a stronger country."

I am not sure Green would have won without Spencer - but Polanski is clearly a far stronger leader than his detractors will admit and has made a huge difference to the Greens.

People do believe in progressive politics . Starmer, take note.
