'The real scandal of the #GortonandDenton by-election was the WILLINGNESS of #Media-organisations to COLLUDE in #NigelFarage's attempt to undermine the result of a free and fair election'
(I'd say the"real scandal"lies with #DemocracyVolunteers who made the allegations)

More importantly, it's time that the"accusers"- ie #DemocracyVolunteers were held to account for their role!
Who are the"observers" who made the claims? Based on what *evidence*? What is their *methodology*? WHY didn't they alert polling staff at the time?🤔🙄😬

Questions must be asked of #DemocracyVolunteers:
- Why didn't they report concerns at the time at voting sites or record descriptors/timings for supposed breaches?
- Why did they wait 11 days to formally report yet deem it appropriate to stoke tensions as soon as polls closed?
'Family Voting' is an insidious term picked up by the far right/Reform for racist purposes. It refers to anyone unnecessarily being accompanied into a voting booth, not just family. Democracy Volunteers need to use a different term #DemocracyVolunteers

@gmpolice.bsky.social have found NO EVIDENCE of #FamilyVoting in #GortonAndDenton by-election
This is extremely concerning considering @reform-uk-official.bsky.social & #DemocracyVolunteers risked undermining a valid, democratic election because of the allegation.

It would seem #DemocracyVolunteers have questions to answer.

#DemocracyVolunteers reported #FamilyVoting at 1% in this constituency in the 2024 GE. Shall we investigate that too?
Now questions need asking about WHO "election observer" group #DemocracyVolunteers are, WHO funds em and WHAT exactly their motives are? HOW did they gather their *evidence* (eavesdropping on conversations, loitering outside polling booths, recording "family members?").
Something don't smell right!
I saw 450 people walk into the same voting booth together with an enormous pencil. #DemocracyVolunteers
I question why #DemocracyVolunteers did not raise the subject with the workers at polling stations. This lack of action brings the whole work of the group into disrepute. I hope leadership questions why they did not.

#DemocracyVolunteers are? Funded by Who? Did @skynewsrss.bsky.social bother to check them out before quoting them. May I remind them of this little Brain Fart by #30pLeeNoch, exposed by a real Journalist. Nigel's Muscle.

Hands up if you are in the Democracy Volunteers ?
Wait, so these #DemocracyVolunteers are claiming that they saw the law being broken, on multiple occasions, but didn't actually bother to tell polling station staff as it was happening?
Sounds a bit suspicious.
#DemocracyVolunteers set up by a right-wing group to ‘observe’ voting 🙄 seems more like a low key test attempt to discredit election results

This is most odd. #DemocracyVolunteers #GortonAndDenton
