@SamCoatesSky Maybe you shouldn’t have echoed those unsubstantiated lies from reform all over sky news as if they were fact 🤷🏼

Greater Manchester Police say they have no evidence of family voting after an extensive investigation, including speaking to Democracy Volunteers and seizing CCTV: We’ve concluded our investigation into alleged ‘family voting’ at last month’s Gorton and Denton by-election, finding no evidence of any intent to influence or refrain any person from voting. Our investigation into alleged influencing of voters at a polling booth (under Section 62C Representation of the People Act 1983 (Ballot Secrecy Act 2023)) began after a criminal report from the Reform UK party following a public statement made by independent electoral observers at Democracy Volunteers. We have spoken to the four Democracy Volunteers observers present at polling stations on the day of the by-election (26 February) who have shared with us their eyewitness account. This includes some instances of more than one voter going into a booth at the same time, and instances of people looking over the shoulder of voters. The information they have provided to us estimates this may have happened on 32 occasions across 15 polling stations. The observers do not allege any verbal instruction or physical conduct that indicated one person was directing or coercing another regarding how to vote. This is a crucial part of the legislation to prove such an offence was committed. Our investigation team, led by an experienced senior investigating officer, spoke to all four volunteers from Democracy Volunteers as part of our enquiries – obtaining a copy of their observations. We also spoke to the Presiding Officers at 15 stations as well as the Acting Returning Officer, none of whom received any reports other than from Democracy Volunteers. We have received no further criminal reports. For us to investigate allegations, we require an understanding of who the potential suspects may be, and evidence that may corroborate eyewitness accounts. For an investigation to meet the criminal threshold for prosecution, we require admissible evidence of intent or action aimed at influencing the vote. We have asked Democracy Volunteers for descriptions of those alleged to be involved, and timings on when these are believed to have occurred. These details were not documented by observers or the complainant, and we have not been provided with any identities or descriptions to pursue. The absence of this information means there is no remaining reasonable line of enquiry. This also includes limitations with CCTV as an absence of descriptions, and votes not being time-stamped, meaning we are not able to identify individuals from footage. We have approached all 45 polling stations in the Gorton and Denton constituency to ask for CCTV from the day. Forty-one of those polling stations told us they did not have CCTV activated in the building as it would have compromised the secrecy of the vote during polling day, in line with advice given. We have seized and viewed CCTV from three of the remaining four polling stations. These are three polling station that Democracy Volunteers visited. We have spoken to the Presiding Officer from each one. However, these stations do not show any evidence of anyone directing or coercing another regarding how to vote – the crucial part of the legislation to prove such an offence was committed. There is no evidence to suggest any intent to influence or refrain a person from voting as stated in the Ballot Secrecy Act 2023. We have been liaising with the Electoral Commission, who we have shared our findings with. We have also shared our findings with the Returning Officer. We have updated the complainant about the work of our investigation and the conclusion we have reached.

@chug3345 @FrankJo85581815 @OWS1892 Please research the Dublin agreement, there were next to no small boats pre Brexit as anyone who travelled here from another EU country eg. France could immediately be returned under the Dublin agreement, when we left the EU we no longer have that right

@FrankJo85581815 @OWS1892 Really? So had Brexit not happened, we’d have ships patrolling the channel blocking the dinghy’s? That’s what you’re saying?

@drewrhyde @Absolution_90 was this you

someone sent me their album on grindr and it's just pics of his cat 😭

@MrBrum43 He’s got 2 assists in the last 3 games (stoke & Shef Wednesday) yes he hasn’t scored in a while but he’s still contributing

It’s obvious to anyone with an ounce of football knowledge that Jay Stansfield has struggled in recent weeks. Despite his never ending work rate & desire, no goals, no assists for what feels like eternity. Silly fouls & bookings being more common of late. How do we fix him? #bcfc

@Kevsie @victoriabeckham @alastairs31 we must get VB the number 1 she deserves

@charlie_moss07 @secondtierpod He wasn’t looking at the player was jumping for the ball, no intent

@SongSingerSal @euromove They aren’t in Europe.

@euromove The USA, Australia, Japan Ain't in it either 😁😁😁

@thaisilver60 @euromove The clue is in the title, European. It is for European countries

@euromove If the ECHR is such a bastion of Human Rights, why haven't all the other countries in the world joined it? Oh yeah, because most of them have their own systems in place, like the UK did prior to 1959.

@SianThymes @BassLake0405

why are tv shows and films so dark these days

@alexedicken @KeepRightOnPod @briandick Or a 3-4-3 formation I think would suit better

@alexedicken @KeepRightOnPod @briandick Do you think our current squad would suit a change in formation? Maybe a 3-5-2 with Neumann Klarer Cashin (or Robinson) and BOS & Laird bombing down the wings with 2 upfront…think something needs to change but can’t see Davies changing it

Recording a @KeepRightOnPod with @briandick today. Plenty to talk about. 🎙️ Please send over any questions and takes for us...
