Our current first-past-the-post voting system is hugely undemocratic, allowing a political party to secure a massive majority of seats on a minority vote. We need to introduce proportional representation now to ensure every voice is heard and every vote counts.

Congratulations to Hannah Spencer and the Green Party on a historic by-election win in Gorton & Denton, beating Reform and pushing Labour into third. From smears of “sectarianism” and “family voting” to claims her win was down to “a coalition of Islamists and woke progressives”, it was great to see Hannah use her victory speech to stand with the Muslim community.

Been saying this since 2024 – the top 40 seats in which the Greens came second are most urban, multi-ethnic working class, with a decent chunk of downwardly mobile graduates thrown in. With Labour pitching rightwards, there was an open goal for a party going big on housing, cost of living, inequality, and foreign policy.

Good point by @hzeffman on Today prog just now - Hannah Spencer "barely mentioned lower-case G 'green' issues" in victory speech. Greens rapidly repositioning as general left-wing populist party.

Zack Polanski's full interview on BBC News The morning Hannah Spencer won the Gorton and Denton by-election At the end Charlie Stayt asks, "Has Hannah Spencer had a chance to celebrate?" Zack Polanski, "We've just literally come from a party, I think she's still partying there now. I got dragged here. I'm very happy to be here. Dancing sounded a little bit more fun" *Naga Munchetty takes in a big breath*

Zack Polanski on Newsnight slams the behaviour of Reform and Labour in the Gorton and Denton by-election: Newsnight, "Why did you produce a leaflet in Urdu in Manchester?" Zack Polanski, "We want to communicate with people thats peak Urdu, that's quite simple" Newsnight, "Labour are Reform are combined criticising you" Zack Polanski, "Keir Starmer said I want to sell crack to children in playgrounds. I don't think any Labour MP should show their face on live TV when we have one of the highest drug death rates in Europe" "The political smear and attack debases politics" Newsnight, "Is it dirty tactics to introduce a new organisation on a leaflet?" Zack Polanski, "Labour have no response so they create fictitious organisations then push that through letter boxes" "Labour also have a van going around showing my face and Hannah Spencer's face, misrepresenting the Green party position on drugs" "Labour's behaviour is bad for democracy" Newsnight, "Has Reform UK Ltd's leaflet and comments about what is British played out well?" Zack Polanski, "It's really bad for the country" "We are not an island of strangers we are an island of neighbours" "People really value the integration and the mixing of communities"
