Lee Anderson. Love him or hate him, you know that the guy is thick as mince, and this latest fiasco has only added to the impression:
Lee, oh 30p Lee, Lee Anderson by-election campaigning in the wrong constituency

Wrong place, wrong time, wrong guy
Here’s what Angela Rayner told the Mirror:
Farage’s Reform can’t even find the Gorton and Denton constituency on a map. Perhaps it’s because they’re too busy filling their party full of former Tories who failed the country.
Local residents in Gorton and Denton deserve a local MP who is focussed on delivering on local residents’ priorities like tackling the cost of living. That’s what Labour will be speaking to voters about every day on streets across Gorton and Denton while Farage gets round to finally learning how to use Google maps and actually work out where they live.
Absolute rubbish.
Over 100 volunteers turned up to campaign in the constituency. A Labour constituency that has had no representation in Parliament for nearly a year. Our volunteers came from far and wide and a location with a big enough car park to accommodate our volunteers was chosen just outside the constituency. All volunteers then left to campaign in the constituency. There is nothing to see here other than desperation from a desperate party.
Angela doesn’t even know which house she lives in.
Okay, but it’s not “absolute rubbish”, is it, Lee? You staged your big photoshoot in the wrong constituency. You made yourself look like a clown, Lee. No one forced you to do that.
If we were doing a high profile boots-on-the-ground campaign, we’d probably ensure all the photos we took were in the correct area. That’s just us, though; please don’t feel like you have to take our advice, because it’s so much funnier when you don’t.
Alternative?
All that aside, we don’t disagree with the Labour bashing; we just don’t think Reform are a suitable replacement. Especially because this is the Reform candidate:

In the video, Goodwin says:
I was lucky enough, or unfortunate enough, to be in Manchester a few days ago, and the energy in this room is 10 times what it was in Manchester.
Matt Goodwin, if you’re reading this, get used to hearing this clip, because it’s going to be played at you ten thousand times between now and the election. At the same time, well done for at least identifying which city you were unfortunate enough to be in; Lee Anderson couldn’t even get that right.
