I'm a software engineer working in cyber security, and an alumnus of the University of Birmingham, Mathematics & Computer Science (in the 1980s). When I'm not programming in C++ under duress, I like messing around with computers, networks, and technology in general. This corner of the Fediverse lives behind my sofa, and it's not Mastodon… I'm a # GoToSocial ist! I'm left of centre, interested in UK/EU/US politics and the # Green agenda. I'm an enthusiastic # EV owner. Pro-Europe, pro-PR. I'll follow back if you have an interesting bio. I love a great landscape photograph and I love thin places, wild nature and especially the Celtic fringe. 🇪🇺 🇺🇦 🇪🇭 🇬🇱

If you live in the #GortonAndDenton constituency and are thinking of voting #Labour (or #LibDem), please consider voting for the #GreenParty instead. It is very unlikely that Labour will win, and either way #KeirStarmer will be deemed to have failed.
The big risk, as always, is that the progressive parties (in which I generously include Labour) will split their vote, allowing the right-wing parties to win with a minority. Any centrist or left-winger shouldn't want #ReformUK to win with their parachuted-in proto-fascist.
Even if you don't care that much about politics, please use your vote and vote for the local #Green candidate #HannahSpencer, a plumber and an experienced councillor, who will properly represent the people of your constituency. It's safe to say she's not the kind of person who will be heading off to the Chagos Islands for a publicity stunt.
