#GreenParty announces new #Makerfield #byelection candidate, #SarahWakefield bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Meet Sarah Wakefield. Manchester City councillor, mum of two, sustainable food campaigner - and your Green MP candidate for Makerfield.

Keeping hens confined in cages is outdated and cruel. The Government promised action in its Animal Welfare Strategy. Now it must deliver on its promises. Thanks to @humaneleagueuk for inviting me to the #UnlockTheCageAge protest.

@RobertJenrick @RobKenyonReform You've used so much Wegovy you've melted away. Soon you'll just be a puddle of Tory dregs.

It’s hotting up in Makerfield. Incredible support for this man. Let’s make @RobKenyonReform Reform’s next MP 🚀 🇬🇧

@RobKenyonReform Pretending to be a plumber to serve his millionaire masters. What a shower 🚿

Knocking on doors today and all we're hearing is that this by-election is Labour v Reform. No one else is even close. Only Reform can stop Labour in Makerfield.

@RobKenyonReform Because they don't know what a vicious little racist you are.

I’m honoured by the support from people right across Makerfield. Thank you 🙏

LATEST @EllieChowns insisted the party will still stand in the #Makerfield by-election, despite calls from former leaders to step aside. The Westminster leader of the #GreenParty, said she thinks it’s “really important” they contest the crucial election. independent.co.uk/news/uk/politi…

@UnionJacked__ @doctoriaindarcy You put the M into Moron. You don't know where you stand.

@VoteGreen29 @doctoriaindarcy My politics is all about reducing inequality. That’s why I campaigned for Corbyn, and joined the Greens to vote for Polanski. But the time has come to change Labour and get Burnham in. Greens can go back to litter picking and caring for the badgers when he’s in.

They must stand aside

@UnionJacked__ @doctoriaindarcy when it comes to jerks like you the gentlemanly thing is to be intolerant and point out your errant nonsense. Who said we were tolerant? No-one ever. We don't tolerate inequality.

@VoteGreen29 @doctoriaindarcy The tolerant left?

@davidrmarsh 🤣🤣🤣

Reassuring to see the mastermind behind Labour’s brilliant Gorton & Denton campaign is running this one too.

The first duty of any Government is to keep the public safe. That means recognising that national security is changing. Alongside traditional threats, we need resilience against flooding, extreme heat, and food, water and energy insecurity.

@UnionJacked__ @doctoriaindarcy Dickhead of the week award for that one.

@doctoriaindarcy Caroline will insist. You simply won’t be allowed. I’ll make sure of it

@AllyFogg @RupaHuq Come along. Candidate announcement tonight!

@RupaHuq Green Party member here. I’ve been arguing that we shouldn’t waste undue effort & resources on someone else’s dogfight that doesn’t concern us, but Labour figures saying stuff like this makes me want to go to Wigan & knock on 10,000 doors myself, you supercilious, entitled gits.

Given first proper polling shows this is a straight Labour v Reform fight unlike Gorton and Denton and that Greens have no actual candidate after last one stepped down, there is a strong case for Green Party sitting this out out to stop Reform winning. Precedent exists in 2017

@RupaHuq Do you have any idea of the disgusting behaviour of @LucyMPowell during Gorton & Denton? And the way @AndyBurnhamGM smeared @GreenPartyHan during Manchester mayoral elections? I thought not. You live in a Southern bubble. @UKLabour libels us every day. So gen up.

@GreenRupertRead @GreenJennyJones The same Andy Burnham who smeared @GreenPartyHan on his Manchester radio show during the mayoral elections here in Manchester? That one? How trustworthy is he? How many signatories do you have from Manchester/North-West?

@GreenJennyJones In case anyone here has been misled by the TIMES story today: HERE is who we are and what we said. Nothing about standing down: compassonline.org.uk/makerfield-gre…

There are lots of 'ifs' about the return of Andy Burnham to the HoC and people saying we Greens should stand aside and let him take the seat. Personally, I'll support whatever the local party decides to do, but my instinct is *always* to stand so that voters have a proper choice.

@LeftieStats @YouChampoReds To suggest that no-one had heard of the Green Party until Zack is bullshit. He revolutionised the party by making people believe their vote counts. Ignoring the past 40 years is idiocy. We, London Greens, voted Zack into London Assembly and he's gone from strength to strength

@VoteGreen29 @YouChampoReds christ alive move on that was 40 fucking years ago

Under the leadership of these "senior" Greens, the party endured flop after flop. With Polanski, Greens are on 16%, won 6 council majorities + 2 elected Mayors, won new MP, hit 1,300 councillors and have 220,000 members. These losers should shut up and let him get on with it.

@YouChampoReds @LeftieStats Not only had millions of people heard of them, at one point 2 million people voted. It wasn't a lack of knowledge. Majority were voting tactically up to and including 2024.

@VoteGreen29 @LeftieStats this does kind of support my point about senior figures before zack polanski though. having said that i wasnt alive back then

@YouChampoReds @LeftieStats 'This election saw the best performance ever by the Green Party collecting over 2 million votes and 15% of the vote share." When was that? 1989 European Parliament election in the United Kingdom I was a member of the party and voted Green. Learn some history.

@LeftieStats the greens were polling at around 2% in 2007 (when Lucas took over) and nobody had heard of them. you cant compare G+D to the position the greens were when Lucas took over
