Trope doing rounds in Reform circles that Hannah Spencer is a "fake plumber" because those people can't imagine that a Green politician might be anything other than the sum of their horrid prejudices. If it were a lie she'd have been playing the longest of long games... because here she is in 2013.

Great day out helping North London's Tufnell Park campaign team. Living proof that #Hitchin Hertfordshire isn't that far time wise!

To all my political Labour friends in #Hitchin just to let you know I know you just want Labour to be Labour! I will ignore that statement and carry on cooperating with ANYONE I feel can help us make our community a better place to live. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Two parties we know for certain have broken electoral law in this election both lost. Reform was let off by the courts on Wednesday, despite a clear breach of the rules. Labour have yet to answer for their advertising van near the polling station and their fake tactical vote leaflet.

This letter is so utterly deluded that it's clear that Starmer is not going to learn the lesson he needed to learn. In fact he's going to double down on his islamophobia and right wing dog whistles. Goodbye Labour. You were once great.

What IS it about Labour leadership that they ALWAYS learn the wrong lessons ⁉️ I mean🙄. We didn't ask Galloway to do anything. I certainly wouldn't urge Green voters to endorse any other particular party if we weren't standing. I WOULD and HAVE asked them to carefully consider their vote🤬

Keir Starmer's attempt to paint the Greens as extremists yet again reveals his intolerance of political difference. His instincts are illiberal and authoritarian.

I've seen a little optimism, team work and much rolling up of sleeves turn into Wow we did it!😀👍 Then a conference, overshadowed by a synagogue attack, with a mood of successful, quiet confidence, that we are growing into a strong opposition force. Now this! 🥳. The boost in confidence 📈

Gosh! 😯 After yesterday's amazing result I'm really looking forward to soaking up the positive vibes😍 tomorrow!

What a result!! Huge congratulations to the amazing Hannah Spencer - everyone in Gorton and Denton has just made history. This result shows @greenparty.org.uk can win anywhere, that the politics of hope can win over the politics of hate & there is no longer any such thing as a Labour safe seat 💚

"I really want to encourage more people from backgrounds like mine to get into a system that has always shut us out." Hannah Spencer MP: plumber, plasterer, parliamentarian

"The Gorton and Denton result avoided a split between anti-Reform parties that would let Farage’s party slither into the seat despite overwhelming opposition." 🤔Do I detect a Harry Potter vibe? www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Blue shows odds tightening, red shows odds drifting. Greens hot favourites and coming in, Labour outsiders of three and drifting out. If you want to oppose Reform don't waste your vote on Labour.

Don't vote Labour to get Reform. And more importantly don't vote Labour ever, because they have revealed the filth they really are, lying and cheating to leave voters confused and scared. Voters who are desperately afraid, and Labour has delivered a sequence of fake messages to deceive them.

I saw this and immediately thought of @greenparty.org.uk action days🤣 Off to @londongreenparty.bsky.social territory this weekend to help @islingtongreens.bsky.social

In Akobo, South Sudan I met people newly displaced by violence – children who have lost entire families, persons with disabilities and new mothers. Many fled with nothing, pushing those who couldn’t walk in wheelbarrows for days. Urgent support is needed. We're ready to deliver.

Today and every day the Green Party stands in full solidarity with the Ukrainian people, who have now spent four brutal years defending themselves against Russia’s war of aggression. Read my full statement here: greenparty.org.uk/2026/02/24/f...

No point in electing someone into an already toxic situation. 🤔 Maybe what's needed is a strong independent chair and the introduction of a version of the yellow inclusion card @greenparty.org.uk uses at conferences.

There's gaming of the co-option process going on in Dunstable Town Council 😯 It's all out in the open as they appear to be washing their dirty linen in public! See local FB "Dunstable Chat" & "Louise O'Riordan - Independent - We Are Dunstable & Leighton Buzzard"

Just in time to report in the fallout from the Gorton & Denton by-election.

Journalists now sensing what I was reading after the last Green Party Conference greens ARE the opposition!

Growing up in Norfolk the Gurney name was treated by my mother in the same way as you would that of the traditional Lord in the big house. Woe betide you if you said nasty things about them! I'm sure that was just the way she was brought up. I don't think she ever met one.

🤔I've noticed "freighting" being used by political journalists lately. Just wondering why...

Sinister looking groups of men in black SUV's lurking in our communities are the new bogeyman In the US they are :- 1) Real 2)Traumatising kids Do we REALLY want that in our areas? www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Just spent two days knocking doors in Gorton and Denton. Knocking is just as the polling shows. Lots of Greens, plenty of Reform and many Labour. The self organising of crowds of people from all over the country to help @greenpartyhan.bsky.social to win this was a joy to see. 🧵on the doors…

SOME will say anything for power...

This lie shows how desperate Labour are in the face of growing support for the Green Party Most voters don't understand how vile and abusive Labour can be You have to be on the receiving end to really get it I hope Hannah's win in Gorton and Denton sets the scene for a moral revival inside Labour

🙄

Ah. He claimed to be sending a ‘hospital ship’ to help Greenland because Greenland was literally helping a US submariner. What a hideous fraud he is.

AND I have a blood blister under the 2nd toe of my left foot.😭 I hope it's better before next weekend... I've signed up for an action day in North London. It should be easy for ourselves & North Londoners to help eachother out but 🤬 action network doesn't work that way! 🙄 Another WhatsApp I guess

While the focus is on Gorton & Denton in Manchester there is still a lot of bread and butter campaign work to do. Last week helped our Bedfordshire neighbours with their Dunstable Town Council by-election this week 60s surveys in Royston ahead of their town council in May.

☹️Very few will heed the stark warning this contains. They will go to the World Cup in the US. Some will use this to visit other places and perhaps friends and family there. I worry some will get whisked away to a country they have never ever been to. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

"they need to be “given a go”. Everyone else has fucked-up, and now it’s their turn." 🤔Why doesn't the same logic apply to @thegreenparty? www.theguardian.com/news/ng-inte...

Healthcare in Greenland is publicly funded, free at the point of use, and despite geographical challenges considered very good. Healthcare costs in the USA are extortionate and responsible for 60% of all US bankruptcies. So maybe Denmark should be sending hospital ships the other way.

"How do you counter a narrative that people can’t remember? How do you rebut a vibe?" 😫 People want to "give them a go" that's going to turn out well! Im even more worried about our football supporters planning their world cup trips. I hope our embassy can cope www.theguardian.com/news/ng-inte...

"A black car rolls up alongside a pub or a row of terrace houses; its cargo emerges; photographs are taken; content is captured. By the time it is posted, the candidate has long since been ferried away in his transport," I guess that covers "freighted" 😯 www.theguardian.com/news/ng-inte...

What on EARTH! "freighted with ambiguity". 🙄 Probably a predictive text "correction". Unless @pecksniffsdiary.bsky.social knows better? Struth! I just had knows turned into now's 🤬 www.theguardian.com/news/ng-inte...
