I think she’s going to be a great MP. I’d be very happy for her to be mine.

Yet the focus in the media is all about Polanski.

For shame.

Probably just as well. I doubt they’d be saying anything positive.

I hope this shuts Polanski up for a bit. Can’t stand him.

I can't believe he didn't even attend his own party's conference, to vote on the Zionism stuff, because he was focused on the by-election.

I think Caroline Lucas must be livid right now.

I couldn’t agree with you more.

Call me a conspiracy theorist, but I think he didn’t attend (even virtually) for this vote because he wanted it as policy but wanted to be able to distance himself from it too.

Why is everyone being deleted again?

I have a lot of time for Caroline Lucas, but I wish she would accept that the Green party now is not what it once was, and properly distance herself from it.

I didn't see anything dodgy at all in the earlier deleted posts 😯

That would definitely be advisable for her under the circumstances. The Green MPs would support her, they’re very unhappy with that vote by the membership.

Why are those posts deleted?

What’s with the deleted posts @MNHQ?

Bizarre 🤔

Obviously someone has reported it.

Must remember to put twiglets on my shopping list.

We aren't allowed to mention anything about the turn out?

@MNHQ can we have an exlanation?

The last two deletions are bizzare. Unfortunately "at" MNHQ doesn't tag anyone.

The turnout for Gorton and Denton was 47.5% amidst a flurry of media attention.

The turnout for St Pancras and Holborn was 39% in radio media silence.

According to a BBC report, it was the court who cocked up by issuing the search warrant under the incorrect section. If that is the case then it is the courts who have messed up, not the police. Not that will stop some people saying the latter.

Well writing a post about how those on the right of politics should take note of today's by election results and the results of previous by elections where Reform and Restore have been trounced and stop saying the whole country wants that is against talk guidelines now.

Albeit I wasn't quite this polite, but mumsnet isn't exactly known for polite observation. Are they banning swearing next?

The Reform and Restore fracture is behind the bounce in the Conservative vote. Reform would certainly have come third (if wasn't for those pesky Restore vote) in the St Pancras and Holborn win for Labour and Sagal Abdi-Wali.

I know the explanation for my deletion.

Reform have decided to spend some of that £72,000,000 on hiring resources to scan social media for adverse mentions of their name.

That money won't last long then 😂

In other news, it seems AI has feelings too.

Along with Trumps edict of the death penalty for people who call Artificial Intelligence Artificial Intelligence, it seems our robot overlords are already getting their feet under the table.
