Anyone any idea about the massive amounts matched on the absolute no-hopers at 1000.0 ??
Workers Party of Britain for example. £471.54 traded at 1000
Rejoin Uk. £190.88 at 1000

greening up in case people see through the freaky greens and go anywhere else....and a low turn out. Lord Sutch would've stood in chance in that seat.
oh yeah.... bots.
oh yeah.... bots.
Workers Party is George Galloway who was thinking about standing. If he had, then 1000 would be a good price.
But yeah, bots.
But yeah, bots.
The betting is probably wrong but...
It is near-impossible to call because the seat is a relatively new one created by smashing together two areas that have nothing in common.
There's been next to no polling.
The parties have nothing to judge this month's canvass return against: the new parties are too new and Labour never bothered in the past because they weighed the vote rather than counted it. And some say the Greens are not even bothering knocking on doors.
Stand by for massive aftertiming around 3am.

Constituency polling is typically tiny samples and conducted in English. I suppose it can provide a very general guide, but 10% errors quite possible.
WPB came 4 th in the general election not far behind reform , and greens,
Indeed, but they aren't on the ballot! One of the variables that was positive for the greens.
Personally I feel any of the three could win, and the market order is how I would have it. I'm happy to have traded a win whatever the result.

My mistake. Sir Oink A-Lot is standing for the MRL Party. I hope he wins.
Is this the first time you've ever been green, Cider? You mention it 100 times a day.

No it's not, but I didn't even say I was green today, and why it should trigger you if I had is anyone's guess.
What is your position?

Not surprisingly omits Gorton's most infamous residents (Brady and Hindley)
Steve Molloy I knew as a young lad growing up his dad John local landlord and great character,but it’s not the answer
After cheating some more I can't find anything especially interesting!
Apparently Man City has roots in Gorton. And Bouncing Billy Barker aka Springheel Jack
Bouncing Billy Barker, (aka Springheel Jack, aka The Man With Springboard muscles) was famed for his ability to jump onto a tray of eggs and out again without breaking them and being able to jump onto a man who was holding a lit candle in his mouth, snuff it out with no harm to the man. His feats of jumping over Openshaw Canal using momentum weights were indeed famous and quite true.

Gorton is and always has been one of the few areas in Manchester that is blue,but your cheating hasn’t done you any good as it’s not the answer,as for billy barker I have to say I wasn’t aware of him.
Denton incidentally has a superb Portuguese tapas restaurant can’t think of anything else it’s famous for
What a coincidence cider I’m writing this whilst having a coffee in hollinwood which gets a mention in that article
Sadly I've only been to the general area once. And that was an away game to Old Trafford, so literally car to pub, pub to ground, ground back to car. It could have been anywhere. I would love to take in more of the 'north', and possibly live there. When I've jacked in work.
The Electoral Commission give Democracy Volunteers access to polling stations at election time. Only they and the police can go inside. They’ve just issued this report about “family voting” in Gorton and Denton:
Democracy Volunteers deployed four accredited election observers across the Gorton and Denton Westminster Parliamentary By-election today. The team attended 22 of the 45 polling stations in the constituency, spending between 30 and 45 minutes in each.
The observers worked in pairs using the international standard for election observation - the four eyes principle. Each team assessed several aspects of the polling process, from accessibility to issues around the integrity of the vote.
Staff were welcoming to the team and we would like to thank them for their time in accommodating our work.
The team assessed two significant aspects of electoral integrity - family voting (where two voters either confer, collude or direct each other on voting) which breaches the secret ballot. The team also assessed the impact of the requirement for voters to show ID before they are issued with a ballot paper.
2023 saw the enactment of the Ballot Secrecy Act, which made the practice of family voting more clearly a breach of the secret ballot, making it more enforceable by staff in polling stations. Signage is now available to discourage the practice. Signage was only seen in 45% of the polling stations observed.
The observer team saw family voting in 15 of the 22 polling stations observed, some 32 cases in total, nine cases in one polling station alone. The team observed a sample of 545 voters casting their votes - meaning 12% of those voters observed either caused or were affected by family voting.
Commenting John Ault, Director of Democracy Volunteers said;
‘Today we have seen concerningly high levels of family voting in Gorton and Denton. Based on our assessment of today’s observations, we have seen the highest levels of family voting at any election in our 10 year history of observing elections in the UK.’
‘We rarely issue a report on the night of an election, but the data we have collected today on family voting, when compared to other recent by-elections, is extremely high.’
‘In the other recent Westminster parliamentary by-election in Runcorn and Helsby we saw family voting in 12% of polling stations, affecting 1% of voters. In Gorton and Denton, we observed family voting in 68% of polling stations, affecting 12% of those voters observed.’
The team also observed cases of voters being turned away, however, in each case this was due to them not being a registered voter for Westminster elections, such as having EU citizenship, and only being allowed to vote in local elections.
The team also saw a number of voters taking photographs of their ballot papers and one voter being authorised to vote despite them already having been marked as voted earlier in the day.
Democracy Volunteers has informed elections staff at Manchester City Council about our findings today.

Good morning cider
There’s some great places in the north there both very different but great places to visit Harrogate and Newcastle,despite the rivalry between Liverpool and Manchester I always enjoy going to Liverpool just a fun place with plenty of character about it ,further north Edinburgh is very much worth a visit ,from a racing point of view Hexham and Kelso are impossible not to like and you would get a very pleasant surprise at Hamilton.who was you watching on your visit to old Trafford ?

The Labour cabinet minister Heidi Alexander just been on the BBC, and put a great spin on the result...
When asked about Labour going from a big majority to 3rd place behind Greens and Reform, she replied that if you add Labour and Green votes together it shows the public uniting behind 2 progressive parties to keep out Reform ...!!!
...And then refused to speculate on " what if" Labour had allowed Andy Burnham to stand

Had the green leader on the wireless this morning banging on about there new mp stating she owns 3 retired greyhounds and is well aware of how badly greyhounds are treated and how bad gambling is so will be straight on the case.

Not really a green result tbh,more an M vote,they’ll disappear soon,no one of sound mind could vote for this mob imv….
Problem is form there’s more than you think that are not of sound mind.
Morning Jimnast
So another one that thinks all gambling is bad
I've no idea of the figures, but would guess it's substantial, but the money the National Lottery raises for good causes would have to be found elsewhere (taxes) ...Or would this not count as gambling which these lefties detest
Btw, "wireless " ...I still use that word myself, youngsters give you a blank stare

Thanks. I'd be slightly nervy about going to Liverpool as a southern softie 
But it should be done. And probably even less of a welcome in sunny Scotland. It's quite bad that I have never been to Scotland though.
Old Trafford was more years ago than I'd care to remember. It was to watch my team Spurs, Beckham played for Man U and it finished 0-0! And a snowstorm on the M1 on the way home lol.
I went to Old Trafford a couple of years ago. I was shocked at what a dump the whole area was, including the stadium, for the 'greatest' club in the world.
blimey. didnt know this was on the cards
theyve got the wrong colour. should be red. polanski(not his real name) is crackers but persuasive if you are a bit fick, as many are. and he gets more favourable meeja coverage because hes on the left of sensible, in stark contrast with reform who are traduced at every turn
this is despite me being 1.02 the greenest forumite, recycling everything (including jokes) long before it became trendy, never had a car, only a bike

This mob are a million to get a sniff in May tbh..
the old trafford stadium is fine. mind you i was in the poshest bit witlh the top jollies and didnt mix with the lower orders. and it was rl gf, not football
wearing a whistle in lpool is riskier than where you are from. sounds nuts but i know 3 geezers who were attacked for that sole reason

For me the worst area was Leeds, the worst stadium was Blackburn. Blackburn was the coldest I had been in my entire life, before or since. They put the away fans near a gap in the stands that welcomes a gale in directly from the arctic. It must have been developed since those days!
Kaiserslautern the most interesting away game, when you go in the stadium you each get handed a pad to sit on. So no standing but no seats either! And we got beat by a last minute goal to put us out of the tourny.
I don't follow footy at all these days, national or international. For my sins yes I was a Spurs fan. Gazza, Ginola, King, Bale that type of era. Some of the best players that ever lived, so not all bad :)
i saw gazza play when he was 17 or 18, fat kid got mocked before the start, an early game for newc in league cup i think, no one was laughing at the end
moenchengladbach a good one. its invisible as its a big hole in the ground. and great beer and frankfurters all over the gaff. and no bother
polish grounds are quite something. all falling to bits and covered in barbed wire

It’s by the docks to be fair just over the river now where the bbc and itv along with the war museum plus bars and restaurants are it’s quite nice but yes the ground has seen better days.
The area city play is much worse.

The Scot’s who live in Scotland are fine it’s those that live in England you need to watch.
On the historical question on Gorton I’m really surprised nobody got it .
The first ever greyhound meeting took place there

jimnast, maybe we approached the stadium via a bad route, lots of it run down, empty buildings etc, but same as every city now I guess. The stadium, bar the pitch view, was a big disappointment, water pouring off the roof, one bar between hundreds of fans. We did spend a night out in a much nicer bit, think it was more Salford, good bars and tram links.
How times change swifty
when I grew up Salford was the poor area of Manchester and everyone supported United now it’s much nicer but still everyone supports United

Good to see you are not in to lazy stereotyping aberdonia 
A sharp decline in quality of life and living standards in Britain over the last 25 years. The population has increased by 12 million during that period.
A direct correlation or pure coincidence, now let's have a think?
Green Party's immigration policy - open door.
