I think this really sums up why we have such great news this morning. It's not about Labour or Reform's failures, it's about Green success. Green members getting the message out there in person. The might and power of (often corript) mainstreamand social media, backed by big money, was overcome by real people, who really care, spreading the message of HOPE

RT: @chlveh love how they’re putting more effort into attacking the greens than reform… they are SCAREDDDDDD
In an emotional victory speech, Spencer – who becomes the fifth Green party MP – said people were being “bled dry”.
She said: “Instead of working for a nice life, we’re working to line the pockets of billionaires. We’re being bled dry. And I don’t think it’s extreme or radical to think that working hard should get you a nice life”.
Spencer emphasised community solidarity and said she would call out politicians “who constantly scapegoat and blame our communities for all the problems in society. My Muslim friends and neighbours are just like me – human.”

The lady can deliver a speech, well done Hannah!
"Something exciting is happening, come join the Green Party" she says almost in tears, how rare to see some genuine emotion and hope in British politics!

When will results for Gorton and Denton start to come in? I'm on the edge of my seat.
Please let the clearly anti-fascist Greens win over the severely more pro-fascist Reform! If people aren't going out to vote now, what will it take?

"New polling ahead of the crucial Gorton and Denton byelection this week, while by no means decisive, puts the #Greens first on 22%, followed by #ReformUK (20%), then #Labour (18%), with 31% undecided. But still Keir Starmer falsely claims that “only Labour can beat Reform”. Does he want to see Reform in power?"

Got friends/family who live near Manchester or Stockport?
Remind them to vote! It's TOMORROW (26th)

The polls have the Greens and Reform neck-and-neck on ~30% of the vote (with Green coming out ahead in a the most recent poll*), but with ~30% still undecided.
TALK TO YOUR PEOPLE 🙏
This result is likely going to have major long-term implications for British politics - it will embolden either the Greens or Reform, and that momentum may well ultimately decide who wins the next election.
Boosts hugely appreciated

As a woman working in #retrofit , I am delighted that the #Greens chose Hannah Spencer, a local plumber to be their candidate in the #gortonanddenton byelection.
She gets it in a way other politicians just don’t.
“One in three households in Gorton and Denton live in fuel poverty. Insulating homes would keep people warm in winter, cool in summer and slash bills. We’ve got some of the leakiest homes in Europe – as I know full well from working on hundreds of them.”
George Monbiot saying what most of us here on Mastodon are thinking, that Labour has abandoned the Left and the Greens are ably taking up that banner instead.
Go Greens!

Just saw this on Facebook from Jo Clay, about Canberra’s buses, R2, R3. 🎊🎉There were no further details in the post.
❗BREAKING: Greens secured government commitment to reinstate the R2 and R3 to West Belconnen and Spence by Term 3 this year 🚌.
@treleanor there was an email newsletter from her with a little more detail:
“We moved a vote which will now see the R2 and R3 reinstated out towards Kippax, Spence and Fraser and the R4 and R5 frequencies improved.
We still won't see these changes until around Term 3 this year. That's why we need your help to keep the pressure on Labor and make sure they follow through on the promise they've made today.”

I've had a chance to look at the Omnisis opinion poll for the #GortonAndDenton by-election, and I'm glad to see that it confirms what I would like to be true - that the #Greens are the best chance for beating the Reform fascists.
The sample size is small, but the fieldwork was after the close of nominations (unlike the poll #Labour are relying on) and seems to be sensibly conducted (unlike the stuff the Greens have been publishing)
Not only are more people likely to vote Green, but those Green voters are more motivated to actually show up at the polling station.
I've also asked the local Greens for a stakeboard now I'm confident enough to advise others how to vote.
There is only one political party in #australia that has #firstnation considerations in its #Aipolicy
In fact, it is the only party that has 👉any👈 AI policy, now that ruling #alp (Labor) has entirely abandoned any efforts to #regulateai
That party is #greens
