More Labour lies

The real tactical voting sites said vote Green to beat Reform, so Labour simply invented their own fake tactical voting site to endorse them

Labour are so desperate that they’ve invented their own tactical voting organisation to endorse their candidate in the Gorton and Denton by-election, and shoved this nonsense through people’s letter boxes.

The real tactical voting sites (Tactical.Vote and StopTheTories.Vote) have already recommended people in Gorton and Denton vote Green, because the Greens have the best chance of defeating the Reform candidate.

It’s also fairly clear that Labour have already given up on actually winning the seat, and that their real objective is to split the anti-Reform vote in order to prevent a Green Party by-election win that Starmer’s own people view as an "existential" threat to their bastardised version of the Labour Party.

Someone on Twitter has created a parody account using the name and logo of Labour’s fictional tactical voting site, and posted a Tweet threatening to sue Labour.

Labour can’t try to claim ownership of the parody "Tactical Choice" account, nor argue back against these legal threats, without admitting that they invented "Tactical Choice" themselves as a propaganda disinformation campaign.

It’s yet to be seen whether this dishonest Labour tactic succeeds in convincing enough people to split the anti-Reform vote, and hand the seat to the Faragists, but this attempted deception is likely to come back to bite Labour in the future.

People still haven’t forgotten the Tory dirty trick of misleadingly renaming their CCHQ account as "Fact Check UK" in 2019, to spread biased pro-Tory propaganda, and the Internet is unlikely to forget this attempted con job by Labour either.

The impotent Electoral Commission obviously won’t do anything about this cynical attempt to deceive, but it’s hardly going to help Labour’s already shattered reputation that they’ve been caught red-handed trying to con people into voting Labour like this.
