Odds Slashed On Greens By-Election Victory After Big Money Bets The party is now heavy odds-on favourites to triumph in Gorton and Denton.

The party is now heavy odds-on favourites to triumph in Gorton and Denton.

YouTube video by Maximilien Robespierre Matt Goodwin: Young Girls Need a "Biological Reality Check" on Fertility Crisis

Matt Goodwin, Reform candidate for Gorton and Denton, favours propaganda for primary school children to encourage more (white) babies… secure housing and better jobs might help if that’s his obsession. But he favours a “biological reality check” for young girls instead. Creepy.

Zack Polanski is someone who doesn’t lie or BS, and that makes him hard to trip up in interviews.

@zackpolanski.bsky.social : "Whenever Farage says jump, [Labour] say how high. You will never appease the right by doing that. They will just get more and more extreme"

Spot on. This is what people mean when they say Labour is ushering in the far right.

Noise, worry, and whispers: the government's SEND changes will arrive any day now Some of what ministers have planned is clear. But a lot isn't. And this much we know: some of the most drastic changes might arrive at the worst possible time

If you missed it - here's this weeks @boldpolitics.bsky.social with Green Party candidate for Gorton & Denton, Hannah Spencer!

Do you want to help Hannah beat Reform in Gorton and Denton, but just can't make it in person?

Then join me tomorrow at 6:30pm for some phonebanking! Link is in the thread. 💚

When I lived in Japan, far-right parties used to drive around blaring out propaganda from loudspeaker vans. People saw them as public nuisances at best, dangerous nutters at worst. Interesting to see Matt Goodwin adopt the same strategy.

I don’t live in Gorton & Denton, but I care about what happens there this week. The outcome for this election will really set the tone for UK politics in the coming years - Either division and hate, or community, hope and inclusion.

This isn’t a safe Labour seat anymore. It’s a real three-way race.

If you’re someone who feels let down, or like your vote doesn’t matter, this is one of those rare elections where it actually does.

A few hundred votes could decide it.

If any followers live in Gorton & Denton and you’re thinking about voting Green, please do. And please turn up on 26 Feb.

It's quite obvious that criminal damage and terrorist activity are entirely different things.

It's yet another move of this increasingly authoritarian Labour Government to try and conflate the two.

Wild to see wealthy Reform politician "explaining" to poor people they don't understand their own experience.

Let's make sure every single person in Gorton & Denton (and the country!) knows exactly that Reform is bankrolled by dodgy donors. Mask is off.

Channel 4 News is head and shoulders above the rest of the main stream media news outlets. They employ real investigative journalists to do a proper job

Zack Polanski is so very good at this just by being honest.

Wow! This is some top-notch investigative journalism. The report claims the 3 million Epstein files released are only 2% of the total.

The massive scale of what’s still missing is hard to comprehend.

Reform have totally let the cat out of the bag about who they are.

Zia Yusuf lecturing that poverty and peoples everyday struggles with rising bills and rent is exaggerated.

A party of the failed status quo, funded and representing big corporate interests.

Trust in politics is so low at the moment, so to find someone who actually answers the questions AND is honest in his answers - well, it's like political kryptonite!

Honesty is @zackpolanski.bsky.social's superpower✊💚

I am really looking forward to the General Election TV debates because I hope Zack Polanski is going to have a Nicola Sturgeon moment where everyone suddenly goes "oh, he's quite good isn't he?" and cleans up the election map. He is just so good at this.
