Northern Indepence Party - Hartlepool by-election

[Redwurzel]

Betfair have Labour and Conservatives equally matched @ 2.02 - quite amazing for a former top 20 Labour seat.

I think its probably a labour easy victory, but it has a chance of being interesting. I dont know about it being a twitter gimmick, but it's certainly gained a lot of traction over the past 48 hours through twitter.

Labour will struggle

Hartlepool is a town that once elected a monkey as Mayor. Anything can happen!

That was an olive branch to the species.

Oversight or message – or prank by co-workers?​

Dr Paul Williams, Labour’s new and controversially-selected candidate in the Hartlepool by-election, apologised this week for an old tweet discussing preferences about Tory ‘MILFs’ – an acronym for ‘mothers I’d like to f***’.
But last night, Williams tweeted a picture of himself working in a COVID clinic – one that appeared to have a word spelled out in push-pins on a notice board behind him:

The pins appear – the last letter is less clear but they have certainly been taken by readers to do so – to spell out the same acronym for which Williams has just apologised, with three of the letters each done in separate colours to make them stand out:

Ill-advised joke by Williams, or a prank by co-workers that happened to be caught on camera and was missed before tweeting? Either way it’s not a great look.
