Clearly she ll pick up a few sympathy votes but her selection after such a short time in the party smacks of desperate opportunism.I see someone earlier commenting on candidates being parachuted in with no connection to the area,that doesn’t seem to matter in that part of the world,my son lives down the road from there in Barry Sherman’s constituency & he’s been re-elected for the best part of 40 yrs & apparently sightings of him are rarer than lord lucan.

Labour leaflet going round Muslim postcodes with a picture of Boris and the Indian Prime Minister
With an arrow caption " The risk of voting for anyone but Labour is clear" ffs  | ||||||

It's a drop in the ocean though compared to Galloways campaign which the Electoral commission needs to look at in depth.

Some interesting new markets on exchange regarding voter percentage and turnout.

It's a drop in the ocean though compared to Galloways campaign which the Electoral commission needs to look at in depth. ............................ I cant see much difference myself. Galloway has appealed to the Muslim hatred of homosexuality, Labour are appealing to the Muslim hatred of Indians. | ||||||

Well, Maybe you should have another think about that one

By:
When I lived in Fenham, newcastle
the hatred between the Indian and Pakistani communities was obvious. But the community leaders went to great lengths to dampen it down. Trying to take advantage of, and deepening divides is reprehensible. Of course Johnson photo with indian prime minister should be doing rounds everywhere as its reason we have another surge of covid, with his vanity project failing to lock out Indian variant. | ||||||

By:
Labour price on the drift today again. It's almost impossible to make any sort of a case as to why they might hold this seat.
| ||||||
|
By:
The only case would be why can
we still get 1/5 on tories. Sounds done and dusted I've not had a bet. | ||||||
|
By:
The bit that convinces me tories will win is to ask who is likely to turn up at the polls to vote? White, elderly leavers.
| ||||||

By:
Guardian about the only publication still banging on about the Indian (mainly muslim actually) variant donny. Look around, most people have had enough of operation fear. Surge in covid cases and very few deaths, so what.
| ||||||

By:
This leaflet is shocking even for Labour and shows what a bunch of divisive race bating low life labour have become.

Yeah saddo that's the problem
Look at them Scots footy fan figures. You can close yer eyes, (except when mask spotting in remote locations) stick yer fingers in yer ears, we are all fed up of covid and want to get on with life. Doing it safely, with a little more care will help keep cases down. | ||||||
|
By:
Donny, there's a limit to what 'safety' is worth to the majority. The timorous have had there way for long enough imo.
JC, there will not be many Indians to upset in Batley, but there are some a few hundred yards away in Dewsbury who are massively outnumbered by Muslims. Different seat, Labour not bothered about upsetting them. | ||||||
|
By:
Safety will prevent another lockdown
If that's your aim, don't worry you will get it. Just get on with yer life, let mask wearers save you the bother of having to wear one next winter. It's really simple if you think about it. | ||||||

The timorous vaccine deniers
and mask deniers are where you should be ranting, | ||||||

Ranting eh. And your daily repetitive comments about Boris and the Indian variant are ..........?

long term labour not winning anything in GE TERMS FOR 7/8 YEARS SO DONT SEE HOW pundits say theres another 20/30 seats like this in north ,there isnt 20/30 george galloways he can only sit in one seat,labour say they have no chance so i,d be voting to give galloway the last thing he wants which is victory and keeping tory out is a brucie bonus,this is where the left lose out in elections the right are ruthless and do what needs to be done,
putting the tory in and moaning about galloway is a story no one outside labour is interested in | ||||||

Tory paper running the vote tory

If she gets anywhere near the leadership, Labour will be wiped out in the next election.
| ||||||
|
By:
Starmer looks like being Labour's Hague.
Arguably better than most leaders they have had in some respects but got it at an awful time. I mean if Cameron had become Tory leader 5 years earlier he would have been wiped out in 2001. But he arrived just when he didn't have to face Blair and economic meltdown was on it's way. | ||||||
|
By:
only slightly less strange version of ed miliband if you ask me. he certainly doesn't seem to have much of a vision or empathy with ordinary voters
cameron would in all likelihood have been sunk without trace if brown hadn't bottled calling an election in autumn 2007 before the credit crunch finished his chances. tories don't give leaders a 2nd chance | ||||||

By:
Update from the front line Labour trenches... Labour are chucking everything at this on the phones and on the streets in an effort to get every supporter to that ballot box. They say that the tory campaign team are invisible but have been all through the election. Labour think they are losing but it could be closer than at first thought.

Tory postal votes already in.

I wonder what would happen in this market if Labour were to get 45%-49.99% of the vote ? | ||||||

Lol, ibas!

big shift on the OR

Call me suspicious but when a market moves from 1.18 to 1.5 in next to no time, I suspect someone knows something.

Polling returns, but still early.
Maybe Laura has been looking at the postal votes again! | ||||||

Some drift that
 | ||||||

By:
I looked at the prices first and assumed Tories had a 12+ poll lead but then I saw it was only 47-41
Perhaps Galloway factor been overrated. | ||||||
|
By:
Today, Labour had 180 folks on the phone banks and 600 foot soldiers who went round the doors 5 times to try and get the vote out. Galloway is being squeezed allegedly and the LibDems are taking votes from the tories in the three wards that they won at the recent local elections. Some Labour activists are saying the result is a toss up now.
