This is the moment. The Gorton and Denton by-election is a battle for the soul of our country — community power versus billionaire backers, hate versus hope.
If the Greens defeat Reform in Gorton and Denton, it will change politics in this country forever.
I think that's worth donating a few quid to - don't you?

Sometimes something shifts from the norm, and someone comes along who truly cares about what happens to the ordinary person in the street, someone who has no vested interest.
I’ll stand or fall by my backing of @ZackPolanski
Join the Green Party. 🙌
Do it right now!
Creasy is my MP. She's not notably green, not progressive (she is right of centre, albeit she makes left-sounding noises), and I see no basis on which she might be deemed 'effective.' She's a straight-down-the-line Labour careerist. This is Mason begging for a safe seat. Again.
The implication is @ZackPolanski has no right to formulate an argument after been called unhinged, because that’s abuse or sexist. The three points Zack made below are spot on. Call someone unhinged, turn off replies, and call it abuse when they pushback
GREEN GAIN FROM REFORM 🎉🎉🎉
First ever Green gain from Reform - Horsley in Derbyshire

Who could have expected Mark Carney, a liberal establishment figure if there ever was one, to be the flag-bearer for the end of the US-led order? And from a podium at Davos, of all places?
The more you think about it, though, the more it makes sense.
Carney is, at heart, a central banker. As such he understands the power of words and beliefs better than anyone: when you strip things down to their core, a world order - like trust in a currency or a financial system - fundamentally relies on the maintenance of belief. Systems of power exist because participants act as if they exist. That's pretty much it: perception is reality.
Once participants acknowledge the fiction as Carney just did (he literally started his speech announcing he'd "end the pleasant fiction" of the US-led order), the system itself unravels. This is incidentally a formal concept in game theory: the shift from private knowledge to common knowledge is what triggers cascades.
Carney, with his background, ought to have known this was his most potent weapon facing Trump's America: "Trump has the economic and military might. But I have something his power rests upon: I can shatter the collective belief that sustains it."
He's even explicit about this being his thinking: his entire speech revolves around Vaclav Havel’s famous shopkeeper analogy and the fact that the power of the Soviet Union rested on "everyone’s willingness to perform as if it were true," on "living within a lie."
As Carney puts it, "when even one person stops performing, the illusion begins to crack" and the entire "system’s power" starts to crumble.
Today, that "one person" was him.
Make no mistake, Carney’s speech at Davos may prove to be one of THE most important speeches made by any global leader over the past 30 years. This is genuinely epochal stuff.
More than anything, what it means is that, to the extent it even existed at all, the West irremediably lost the Second Cold War: a Cold War requires two competing systems. Carney just announced that one of them simply no longer exists.
This is the topic of my latest article: an in-depth analysis of Carney's speech and its immensely consequential implications for what comes next.

When Zack Polanski talked about removing US bases from the UK, establishment media and Labour went into a giggling meltdown. Now it turns the UK public agree with Zack. Won't be the first thing or last thing that the public agree with Zack on.
🟢The Green Party are holding two "candidate outreach" days for members who are interested in standing to become an MP at the next general election. They're in Sheffield on Sun 8 February, and London on Sat 21 February: https://t.co/au0B1vHQ2D

Stella calls @ZackPolanski “unhinged” for having the guts to callout genocide & turns off replies. Zack has callout genocide, Trump and billionaires. If you feel calling out genocide is unhinged Labour is for you. Otherwise join the Green Party & let’s break the status quo
We are beginning to witness the death of the Labour Party as we know it.
Polanski is already Starmer’s biggest headache for 2026

You're projecting an awful lot. In case you can't read the room, there's an awful lot who agree with Zack and that's why you slid down the polls and your voters moved to the Greens. Not only have you lost your voter base but you've lost the trust of practically everyone.
