Back to the actual by-election (Hillrise, Islington) do we know what prompted Ollie Steadman to resign given he was only elected (at a by-election himself) on 2nd May?

You're a musician, not a doctor. How am I not well then? look, if you are absolutely fine, I happily take back what I said. It is true that I am not a medical professional, and sadly don't have a doctorate of any other kind either. If I may I will leave it at that for now. I wish you well even though I strongly disagree with you on quite a few things, and even though I do not hope that you win this by-election. Senator, you are no Sigmund Freud! |

The Islington Gazette and the Evening Standard offered nothing when they reported the resignation saying everybody was giving 'no comment' replies. |

I don't think they can investigate. We are using this resignation massively. Potentially expensive by-election in Islington. I'm not spending much on leaflets. The homemade literature is about frugality. I'd ideally expense nothing here, honestly. Labour could utterly bomb in this. Recall the last one was May. It was alongside the Mayoral vote. Khan's coattails were long back then. I think Labour drops a lot. Who benefits? Possibly yours truly wins (with c25%). The new kid on the block. Labour are the establishment in Islington. Am targeting Greens and Lib Dems. I want to win this Inshallah.
Steadman looks like stuff of nightmares.
Quick question, what is a 'photocopier'?

You, sir, are certainly not going to get 25% if you spend every waking hour on this forum.

We are using this resignation massively. Who’s “we” and how are you “using” the resignation? Two genuine questions FWIW. |

If someone decides they want to vote for an independent, why would they pick you over Alison Stoeker, who is running a much more professional campaign.

I have delivered around 1,000 leaflets now. She's N4 based. I live in N6 where turnout will likely be higher. If I saw her, I'd cross the street. She just looks like someone who may well use the council seat as a platform for non-local issues. I can beat her, I think. Hornsey Road where she's based - I've extensively carpet bombed it with leaflets plus I can tap into the muslim vote (around 16% in Hillrise, IIRC) and I don't think she can. I have a shalwar kameez I can wear on campaign. Professional politicians and campaigns are overrated. Source: British politics since 2015. |

Third time asking. Who’s “we”? |

I think you’re putting words into my mouth a little bit (lot?) there. The vast majority of people of higher qualifications and none, of low to exceptional academic ability, would be absolutely bemused at receiving that rushed scrawl on the doormat. I have many autistic friends involved in elections who would never dream of putting such tatty bits of paper through perspective voter’s letterboxes. Handwriting indicates greater effort than typing. & also indicates a distinct lack of competence I'm afraid. |

Professional leaflets cost money and may well be expensed be expensed to the taxpayer. Given that there was already a by-election here in May, I cannot in good conscience spend any more taxpayers' money than is absolutely necessary on this contest. 'Competence' and 'professionalism' obsessives be damned. |

If you know of any election leaflets that are funded by the taxpayer then you should immediately inform the police - along, of course, with evidence. In what way do your campaign techniques lessen public funds being used? |

There is no cost to the taxpayer. I know you are clueless, but remember the maxim from Twain "It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt.” |

I may have misspoke but there are expenses form return deadlines, and I don't want to expense anything unless I have to do so. |

That is absolutely glorious. Please spend as much as you want up to the limit then put your expense claim in. Good luck with that. |
