Labour lost a byelection last night in Manchester. Maybe no surprise for the unpopular party of government, but the real point of interest was in who else lost and who won. The seat was taken by the Greens, well ahead of Reform and with Labour in third. Those in the press who have been pushing Reform with all they have must be so disappointed. Gives hope that maybe, just maybe, people can see through Reform's racism and that Nigel Farage will never become Prime Minister.
