In the Gorton and Denton by election in the U.K. the Greens won comfortably. But if Labour had let Andy Burnham stand he would have also won comfortably. This fact should stop the Greens getting too overexcited about the strength of their victory, but, somehow, I don't think it will. #UKPolitics #GortonAndDenton

As charming as ever, Matt Goodwin of Reform conceded defeat in the Gorton and Denton by election by describing the Green Party victory as "a coalition of Islamists and woke progressives that came together to dominate the constituency”. Whatever, loser. That quote will be on a t shirt in Longsight market by teatime. #GortonAndDenton

The best start to a Friday…#GreenParty ‘s Hannah Spencer wins #GortonAndDenton byelection…and pushes #Labour who had had a comfortable majority there into third place. “Rather than winning narrowly, the [Green party] won 40.7%, enough to put them as much as 12 points ahead of second placed #Reform. It represented as much as a 27.5 point increase on the party’s share in 2024. Labour, who had not hitherto lost an election in the area since 1931, fell into third place.” Professor Sir John Curtice

I won't be drawing any conclusions from the Gorton and Denton by election results because take a look around you. U.K. politics is a bin fire. #UKPolitics #GortonAndDenton

And after spending their entire campaign telling Gorton and Denton to vote tactically for the Green Party, now there will be ZERO mentions from the Green Party that theirs was a tactical victory. Something, something, Green Wave. #UKPolitics #GortonAndDenton

In the Gorton and Denton by election in the U.K., Reform got 10,000 votes, while Green and Labour got 25,000 between them. That means that any way the votes would have fallen between Green and Labour, Reform would still have lost. So the key message of both Greens and Labour's campaign, that theirs was the only party that could keep Reform out, was complete bullshit. #UKPolitics #GortonAndDenton
