| 0:00.0 | This is so insane, such an insane lie from the Labour Pie that I was momentarily lost for words |
| 0:06.9 | when I found out about it. Yeah, I know, it must be bad. This episode, Standall, exposes just how |
| 0:13.3 | desperate and deceitful and rotten the Labour Party has become because they have no principles |
| 0:18.9 | or more compass anymore. And this is what fills the vacuum. |
| 0:23.1 | Now, as I speak, the good people of Gorton and Denton are braving Mancunian reign to vote in a |
| 0:28.3 | by-election in a three-way battle between Labour, Reform and the Green Party. |
| 0:32.7 | And on the eve of polling, a leaflet was delivered through local voters' doors. |
| 0:36.7 | It bears the logo of an organisation |

| 1:22.4 | and Denton into voting for them. How can this be legal? Where's the Electro Commission? We'll talk more about |
| 1:30.1 | this because it gets worse. The truth is based on the polling. Two real existing tactical voting |
| 1:35.5 | organisations urged people to vote for the Green Party to stop reform from winning. That's tactical |
| 1:40.2 | vote and stop the Tories. That's based on the polling. A polling by Omnisys |
| 1:44.6 | last week found that 22% intended to vote for the Greens, 20% for reform and 18% for Labour, |
| 1:50.2 | with 27% undecided. If you took out undecided voters, that means 33% for the Greens, |
