In the 2010 General Election, this #Levenshulme #Manchester estate agent shop was the election office for #LibDems candidate Qassim Afzal.
Now it seems to be the election office for #WorkersPartyGB, the ego trip party of all round horrible person George Galloway. Weird how things change over time.

It was so great to meet Hannah Spencer today in Denton and talk about both of our Bye-Election campaigns. Hannah has proved that a message of hope in the face of hate, and positivity can really resonate with people. That doesn’t mean ignoring serious issues or abandoning your values, but bringing solutions instead of just negativity.

The Epstein Class think we're all just as depraved and racist as they are. But we are not.

Lol, Reform are sore, racist losers.
What there was evidence of from that byelection is that the Working class is not as racist and petty as Westminster likes to think it is.

Perhaps there is something wrong with the Polls?

Nice little article quoting Nottingham people who contributed to the Green Party win in Gorton & Denton. Some visited and did door-knocking, some did phone calls.

The Far Right are the same the world over when they lose.
Ugly, loveless people who repel the voters, and then shriek 'victim' when they lose. Aren't we all so fucking sick of these people now?

Reform fury as someone else wins.

Clearly, the stupid Labour party has learned nothing from the #GortonandDenton by-election and has decided to carry on in the same trajectory, inexorably toward further failure.

RE: https://hachyderm.io/@katemorley/116164581027674779
Note that for the last 6 months, #YouGov has consistently reported lower numbers for the Greens #GPEW than reported by other pollsters.
So the 5-point Green lead over the so-called "#LabourParty" is likely to be an underestimate of the post-#GortonAndDenton Green surge.

On #HannahSpencer victory for #GreenParty in key UK by-election
"Our politics had become too poll-driven, too cautious, and too obsessed with respectability to allow community to break through.
This by-election shattered that assumption"

@wavesculptor No you didn't read it right.
1/ The apparent hairs breadth split was between Green and Labour, both progressive to some degree.
2/ The Greens have been around for fifty years, but were marginal until recently, and ignored in every one of the 87 by-elections they had contsted. Their highest vote share in any previous by-election was 10.2%. They got four times that in #GortonAndDenton

James Butler's article on #GortonAndDenton in #LRB is astute, especially about the strategic folly of the so-called "#LabourParty". A fine read: https://www.lrb.co.uk/blog/2026/february/just-voting / https://archive.is/xgwDa
But I was very struck by Butler's comments on the divide in #ReformUK. I assume that the billionaire media which fuels Reform will drive the #cultureWar as far as it can go without splitting Reform until Reform has had power to do phase 1 damage. Then they back the ultras.
Any other thoughts?

Ooh I just found out yet another delightful thing about #GortonAndDenton:
> in an embarrassing loss for the Conservatives [...] the party’s vote share was so decimated that it lost its deposit for the first time in 40 years, attracting less than 2% of the vote.

The #ScottishLabourParty has — to put it mildly —;not adapted & prospered under devolution. In the weekend after its annual conference & #GortonAndDenton does it have any future? Could it finally become #ScottishLabour?
#GerryHassan's essay in the #SundayNational is not optimistic.

"On Thursday morning, when most pundits were still calling the #GortonAndDenton byelection a three-way fight that was impossible to call, the #GreenParty sent a note to journalists. Come to the first press conference of Hannah Spencer MP tomorrow. And while you’re about it, stay on to join her for her first constituency surgery. What could possibly go wrong? As it happens … absolutely nothing."

"We will continue to warn of the risk the Greens pose", says man who lied his way to power. 🙄
His party's lies helped them lose the #byelection.
Quotation from Keir #Starmer's 27 February 2026 letter to MPs, at https://leftfootforward.org/2026/02/read-keir-starmers-letter-to-labour-mps-in-full-after-gorton-and-denton-by-election-defeat/ / https://archive.is/nKb0B
The so-called "#LabourParty" fought a very dirty campaign in #GortonAndDenton. They lost heavily, but they haven't cleaned up their act.
