The data doesn’t lie. Unfortunately, it also doesn’t pay the electricity bill. #politicalcartoon Nigel Farage is running a “win your energy bills” lottery as a way to help promote Reform UK’s latest policy: a £200 reduction in bills achieved by axing energy levies. As well as generating headlines, by offering to pay for a winner’s street-wide energy costs, the party is on a massive data-capture drive. This strategy is designed to build a robust digital footprint for future fundraising, recruitment, and targeted electoral campaigning. It’s all a bit grubby and potentially illegal from a data gathering perspective. Vote Leave did something similar in the 2016 EU Referendum campaign and claimed the data was very useful, so it’s interesting to see Reform UK try the same trick. Follow the data. Always make the news fit the narrative. Depressing stuff from Labour in the Gorton & Denton by-election. They are guilty of some horribly misleading campaigning. This is as bad as it gets. The Greens and Reform have been intensely guilty of misleading campaigning in this by-election. But Labour have lost any claim to the moral high ground with this awful stuff. To celebrate pancake day the Conservatives have released Flipping U-Turns, a browser-based game designed to convince the press that Keir Starmer has made 15 ‘flips’ since getting into power. It’s a bit of a tortuous pun, but a good effort to piggy back on a moment in culture to make an attack on a salient political issue. Members of Parliament are learning how it feels to be a Gorton and Denton resident today. MPs are learning how it feels to be a Gorton & Denton resident today.  A newspaper packed full of dodgy bar charts and made up data is being delivered to desks in Westminster. The Green Party is attempting to execute The Progressive Squeeze in Gorton & Denton and make it seem like a two-horse race between themselves and Reform UK.
