Lots of conservative Muslims who voted Inexperienced in Gorton and Denton will little doubt have woken up saying, ‘grasp on… she needs to legalise medicine? And prostitution?’

What a horrid and divided nation we have gotten. Because the mom of all Parliaments will get able to welcome its third member for Gaza South, Starmer’s “nation of strangers” is beginning to appear like a smooth choice. What we are literally turning into is a nation of adversaries. Be trustworthy, you’d slightly Labour had received in Gorton and Denton on Thursday wouldn’t you?
Particularly in case you are an precise Inexperienced. I imply a poor previous correct Inexperienced voter, the kind to fret about windmills and nuclear energy; as a result of their get together has been hijacked by reactionary sectariansists. Little mini-fascists actually.

Hannah Spencer would possibly come throughout as a little bit bit dim. However her marketing campaign had the cynicism, the division and the championing of causes so international to this land it made your jaw drop, to begin with there was her secrecy.
By no means in 30-odd years of masking politics have I come throughout a potential MP whose background was left as intentionally and as dangerously opaque as Hannah’s. What was she hiding? Effectively, there’s her £1.2million property portfolio in super-posh Cheshire – or WAG-central because it’s recognized – for a begin.
She likes to come back throughout all ‘relatable woman-of-the-people’ and “I’m only a ‘fik plumber me” – however her accomplice is Affiliate Principal Scientist at AstraZeneca. Or at the least he was in 2023 when she crammed within the register of members pursuits at Trafford Council. So, 34-years-old and in possession of a property portfolio value £1.2million and a accomplice incomes effectively in extra of six figures.
Yep, identical to the common couple in each Levenshulme terraced home. Oh, and I assume you thought the Greens manifesto was towards the scourge of greedy second-home homeowners and the loathed Huge Pharma didn’t you?
Not our Hannah, she’s well-up for each! I imply half of me thinks “effectively finished love” and the opposite half thinks “you loathsome dishonest hypocrite”. I suppose you can also make your personal minds up.
However naughty Hannah slightly hid one or two different issues too whereas she was utilizing Gaza as a smokescreen… and a number of conservative Muslims (one thing of a tautology) who voted Inexperienced in Gorton will little doubt have woken up this morning saying “grasp on… she needs to legalise medicine? And prostitution? And increase trans-rights? And assisted dying and abortion… I didn’t vote for that!”
Er, sure you probably did. Bit late for patrons’ regret now. Simply wait ‘until they discover out Zak Polanski’s Jewish! What’s evidenced right here, vulnerable to beginning the bleedin’ apparent, is that the left moving into mattress with the non secular proper in our Muslim communities is a pact with the satan.
Neither trusts the opposite aspect however each have one thing to realize. It’s basic sleeping with the enemy. Nevertheless it appears with the ability to maintain two polar reverse views concurrently is the important thing to success in Zak Polanski’s Inexperienced Celebration.
It’s how Hannah can declare to assist ladies’s rights then get into mattress with essentially the most reactionary faith on the planet whose sexual politics are notoriously mediaeval. (She celebrated her look at a Mosque claiming to champion ladies whereas on the similar time obsequiously sporting the male-dictated scarf et al. Woman Energy!)
I’ve a horrible worry that Hannah Spencer is just too thick to see what she has finished, weaponising the politics of division. However I feel Zak Polanski is intelligent sufficient to see precisely what he has finished.
Does anybody actually suppose it was Hannah’s concept to make a propaganda video in Urdu stating: “The Reforms (sic) need to break up our communities. They need to deport households who’ve lived right here for years, they usually need to tax individuals born overseas much more. They provide air to Islamophobia, they usually put our security and dignity in danger. However there may be one other approach…”
And the much more jaw-droppingly missing in self-awareness “We hit all 14 mosques this Friday – 14/14! Thanks, everybody…
“Our Ramadan playing cards went down a deal with.”

“Do you attend night Taraweeh at any of those mosques? If that’s the case, are you able to assist with leaflets and conversations after prayers?”
Nah, that was Zak, And if that isn’t blatant, cynical, patronising, harmful sectarianism I don’t know what’s.
