Same Tory MPs, same austerity-led ideology, same failure.
“A poster-style political graphic with the large word ‘CONFORM’ at the top. Beneath it, bold text reads ‘Farage is getting the failed band back together’. Nigel Farage is shown prominently in the centre, with several other former Conservative and Reform-linked politicians arranged around him in a collage style. The background is beige and textured, giving a worn, poster-like feel. The Green Party logo appears at the bottom, along with small-print promotional text.”

Bring it on, Reform! 👇

Big thanks to Reform for helping us keep out Reform in Gorton & Denton.

This is how the BBC is reporting Matt Goodwin's selection as Reform's candidate in Gorton and Denton.

He's not an academic. He holds no academic position and hasn't done for quite some time.

It tells you everything you need to know that Reform are parachuting in a rent-an-extremist - this isn't about representing the people of Gorton and Denton, it's about using this place as a platform for their careers.

Manchester will show him the door.

Bizarrely, @dalevince.com is a highly dangerous anti-renewable voice. His misinformation on heat pumps (“a lifestyle choice” 🤡) is fuel for the climate deniers.

OFC it has nothing to do with his ecologically disastrous “green gas” scheme.

How about that debate with @georgemonbiot.bsky.social ?

They are a lifestyle choice for people who can afford to buy their own - and the higher bills they will bring. That £3 billion could install solar on one million homes, almost halving power bills.

Greens launch major push for Gorton and Denton after Burnham blocked The Greens came third in the seat in the general election, nearly 14,000 votes behind Andrew Gwynne, the sitting MP who stepped down last week. But they plan to flood the constituency with activists in the hope of persuading locals they are the party more likely to defeat Reform UK. While it is up to the local Greens to decide a candidate, it is expected that they could field Hannah Spencer, leader of the Green group on Trafford council, who stood against Burnham in the 2024 Greater Manchester mayoral election. One local activist said that while the party was unlikely to confirm a candidate for about a week, Spencer, who works as a plumber, was seen as a likely bet: "She used to live in the constituency and knows it well. Local people would see her as someone who would speak up for them.

What's the outcome that terrifies Labour most in the Gorton by-election?

Reform winning?

Nope. It's the Greens they're most worried about.

They'd prefer Reform to win, rather than the Greens.

NEW: Hannah Spencer has said this to us tonight:

“I lived in the constituency where the by-election is being held, & the years I spent there definitely shaped me in to becoming political. Having a Green MP there would be incredible for residents in Gorton & Denton, & for all of Greater Mancheste”.

There is a lot of intense speculation about who the Green Party’s candidate for the Gorton and Denton by-election might be… We are busy democratically selecting a candidate. (And it’s definitely not me) 💚🗳️

Here are some greyhounds.
