I was cycling through Gorton on my way home and saw this amazing woman sketching this wonderful mural in support of @greenpartyhan.bsky.social Hannah Spencer for the Gorton & Denton by-election. What an amazing thing to see. @mcrgreenparty.bsky.social @greenparty.org.uk @zackpolanski.bsky.social

Excl: Green candidate for Gorton and Denton Hannah Spencer rejects Reform candidate Matt Goodwin’s call for a 1-1 debate

Spencer says: we literally just debated in the BBC studio and last week at the Manchester Evening News hustings. It's not a game of the best of three. Sounds like you're concerned you didn't come across very well and want another go. I'm not sure anyone wants any more of your hot air

Reform UK now counts as many Tory defectors in its Parliamentary Party as it does original 2024-elected MPs.

Rosindell defecting from the Conservatives to Reform UK means that they have a defector that’s been a minister in Tory governments from Major, Cameron, May, Johnson, Truss and Sunak. Reform UK and Nigel Farage cannot say they are a break from previous politics.

👇 The government's statement on the rail infrastructure set out a commitment to restoring public trust in large infrastructure projects... 🥀 but it seems they can't even point to Manchester on a map!

For clarity, this government has so far: - cancelled HS2 north of Birmingham (previous government hadn't actually done that formally) - cancelled electrification of the Midland Main Line - cancelled West Yorkshire mass transit - cancelled the trans-Pennine high speed line

Welcome to the Green Party, @jamiedriscoll.bsky.social, Former Mayor of the North of Tyne Combined Authority 💚

British politics is a mess. Food, energy, housing are all too expensive. Major parties are all flogging the dead horse of trickle down. So I’m joining the Green Party. Britain needs an economy that works for workers, for small businesses, and future generations. @greenparty.org.uk
