Dear Colleagues,

The result in Gorton and Denton is deeply disappointing.

Instead of a Labour MP who can be a local champion delivering for Gorton and Denton alongside a Labour Government and a Labour mayor, the people of Gorton and Denton now have a representative who is more interested in dividing people than uniting them. .....

He does not understand and has learnt nothing from this drubbing

@Geri

Starmer is hopefully the last Prime Minister Reform UK will ever elect.

(Yes that's an insult. Just to be glaringly clear.)

@Geri Likud did not elect Starmer. Rather, the Tories took aim at both their feet with a shotgun and the shrapnel missed Starmer.

@cstross we could be here for some time with this deepening point, Charlie

If Starmer IS his 'own man' that's seriously quite a whole heep of vapidity, if not, failure

@Geri Not merely vapid: he's a malignant careerist authoritarian who picked Labour under Blair but would have been equally at home as a Tory, and who climbed into the leadership position by backstabbing Corbyn (who TBF was no more leadership material than Michael Foot, but was at least not a vile right-wing hypocrite).

Balsa Wood

The wood of the living tree has large cells that are filled with water. This gives the wood a spongy texture. It also makes the wood of the living tree not much lighter than water and barely able to float. For commercial production, the wood is kiln-dried for about two weeks, leaving the cells hollow and empty.

@Geri Yeah, that fits.
