I predict a Green wave in the local elections. Anyone who thinks our byelection win was an outlier is mistaken | Zack Polanski Since the Gorton and Denton victory, I have travelled the UK and seen the energy that result unleashed. More will follow, says Zack Polanski, leader of the Green party

"We saw that change in Gorton and Denton – and that result unlocked a new level of confidence for potential Green voters that they can truly vote for what they want and get it."

Greens deputy leader calls for apology from Starmer over false claims that led to death threats Mothin Ali fears for his life after anti-war protest was wrongly described as being in support of Iranian regime

Solidarity and love to @mothinali.bsky.social and I’m hoping that this will give people pause before sharing false allegations www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

"today we’ve seen a Labour Home Secretary rehash an old BNP policy of paying people to leave the country. We’ve seen rights becoming conditional on those with language skills. Policies that risk leaving people on the streets ..." @rachelmillward.bsky.social greenparty.org.uk/2026/03/05/r...

The Greens aren’t ‘extreme’, prime minister: they’re just behaving like Labour should After a heavy byelection defeat, Starmer only sounded absurd by implying that the winner – popular local councillor Hannah Spencer – was ready to ‘tear the country apart’, writes Sangita Myska

Our Victory in Gorton and Denton Is Only The Beginning The Green Party has proven it can remake our broken politics. Its message is resonating with working-class people across the country.

"Gorton and Denton were supposed to be one of Labour’s safest seats. If we can win there, then nowhere is off limits. A Green tidal wave is heading for parliament." tribunemag.co.uk/2026/03/our-... Hannah Spencer MP writing for @tribunemagazine.bsky.social

3 nationals polls published since the Gorton and Denton by-election. All good news for Greens:

YouGov: 21% (+4 and highest ever, 2nd place just behind Reform)
Freshwater Strategy: 15% (+1 and highest ever)
More in Common: 14% (+3 highest ever).

Greens polling average is close to 15% and rising.

Greens close gap with Labour in polls after historic by-election win The Labour Party remained ahead of the Green Party by just three points as the hard-left insurgents celebrate their recent victory

The YouGov poll (Greens on 21% second only to Reform and 5 points clear of Labour) is rightly making headlines. But Freshwater Strategy poll also has Greens on highest ever polling www.cityam.com/greens-close...

Don't vote Labour.

Vote Green.

Blimey. Sky News reporting YouGov / Sky News / Times voting intention

*Greens leapfrog Labour into second place*

RefUK 23% (-1)
GRN 21% (+4)
LAB 16%(-2)
CON 16%(-2)
LDEM 14%(nc),

Pollster note: This is the highest we've had the Greens, the first time we've had them in second

Greens overtake Labour in sensational poll The Greens have polled higher than Labour in the latest poll by YouGov, which puts them only two points off Reform UK and five ahead of the governing party.

Greens are now the progressive alternative in British politics. Next up, to overtake Reform and show that hope can (no must!) beat hate.

Last year from January to June 471 people were killed or seriously injured on the roads in Birmingham, UK- and that was celebrated as an 18% reduction on the year before. Population is bigger than Brussels (9 deaths) but smaller than Berlin (55 deaths). We have so much further to go.

People power led the Greens to victory in Gorton and Denton The party’s historic byelection win was earned by listening to voters, not ignoring them, as Labour has done

The Green Party's by-election victory was about inclusion - not sectarianism Last night, we let people feel hope again. You can’t put a price on that - even as the sore losers in Labour and Reform try.
