Polling expert John Curtice has reacted to the Green Party’s “seismic” by-election win in Gorton and Denton. And he suggests it could be a further step towards putting both Labour and the Conservatives in the “dustbin of history“.

Speaking to the media on 27 February, Curtice:

Greens replace Labour: A working-class woman enters ‘the history books’

Curtice challenged the historic conception that Labour is the “party of working people”. And he suggested the Greens had produced a real masterstroke by putting forward:

a very articulate working-class woman, sounding much more… authentically working class than the vast bulk of Labour MPs

Curtice has long insisted that Starmer’s mimicry of far-right Reform UK is a doomed strategy. He previously highlighted that a right-wing Labour was losing far more voters to the Green Party and Liberal Democrats than it was to Reform. And he suggested actually improving the NHS and the economy would be the real vote winner.

At the same time, a monumental rise in the popularity of the Green Party under Zack Polanski’s leadership has bitten a massive chunk out of Labour’s voter base. And Curtice believes more and more people are becoming aware that Starmer is thoroughly unable to stop Labour’s decline:

Gorton and Denton isn’t an outlier, Curtice insists. Instead, it’s part of a growing trend of the Tory-Labour duopoly tanking and the Greens rising:

The long Tory-Labour march into the “dustbin of history”

As an election for “the history books”, Curtice said:

• The Greens have got their “first ever” parliamentary by-election win.
• The Tories got “their worst ever by-election result”.
• It’s the “first time”, except for “when Labour disowned their candidate” in Rochdale in 2024, that “neither Labour nor the Conservatives have been one of the top two parties in a by-election contest”.
• Labour had its “13th biggest ever fall” in by-election support.

Gorton and Denton didn’t just show that the Tories have little chance of stopping a Reform that’s given the right a fascist face-lift. It also showed that the Greens can defeat Labour by proudly representing hope and compassion.

The seismic shift in British politics is leaving the old establishment parties flailing. And the Tory-Labour duopoly is looking increasingly powerless to prevent their fall into the “dustbin of history”:

‘It’s not clear that Labour or the Conservatives will be able to fend off these challenges anymore…’

The Labour Party had represented the Manchester Gorton area in Parliament since the days of Ramsay MacDonald.

Today, Keir Starmer’s party is reeling after its vote collapsed in the Gorton and Denton by-election, forcing the party into third place behind the Greens and Reform UK.

A by-election defeat of this kind – falling into third place in a Labour-held seat – has not happened since 1982. Green candidate Hannah Spencer, who won around 40 per cent of the vote, has clearly demonstrated the threat that Zack Polanski’s “eco-populist” party poses to Labour’s left flank.

Green insiders believe the party’s victory in Gorton and Denton came down to three crucial factors.

Burnham’s blocking

The first was the decision by Labour’s National Executive Committee (NEC) officers to block Andy Burnham from standing as the party’s candidate. Allowing Burnham to run as a parliamentary candidate would have triggered an expensive and risky contest for the Manchester mayoralty. He is also widely seen as a potential challenger to Starmer.

“When there was an announcement that he wasn’t going to stand, that just increased our confidence further,” a senior Green Party source told PoliticsHome.

Labour instead selected Angeliki Stogia, a local councillor who has lived in Whalley Range since 2004 and has strong links to the constituency but little media profile.

PoliticsHome also understands that the Muslim Vote – an organisation that encourages politicians to put Muslim issues, such as being pro-Gaza, at the forefront – was contemplating endorsing Labour if it had selected Burnham. Instead, it threw its weight behind the Greens after the news Burnham was blocked, even before Polanski’s party had selected a candidate. 

The endorsement was instrumental in persuading George Galloway’s Workers Party of Britain to stand aside, which potentially freed up almost 4,000 votes on the left according to the party’s 2024 vote share. Jeremy Corbyn, whose slate won the Your Party elections this week, also backed the Greens in the by-election.

“People were also looking at who’s the best-placed [to defeat Reform]. Many people did believe that was the Green Party,” a senior Green campaign source told PoliticsHome.

“The Labour Party did try to muddy the waters hugely, making a fake tactical voting website, creating a bar chart where Labour were in first place, but just missing the Green bar entirely to look like it was only Reform and Labour… which was hilarious. But people didn’t buy that.”

The Green campaign

The Greens also won thanks to their industrious campaigning operation.

Miles Thorpe, who managed the party’s campaign, had been responsible for the successful election of Carla Denyer in Bristol Central, who beat Labour in 2024 with a 10,000 majority. Each week, Thorpe was spotted with hundreds of activists gathered around him in parks and car parks, instructing activists on canvassing strategy.

“He is very focused, good at prioritising, great at recruiting and motivating volunteers and creating a fun team spirit,” said a Green Party source who knows Thorpe well.

Thorpe was undoubtedly helped by thousands of activists who specifically targeted Burnage, Levenshulme and Longsight – three areas with young and diverse populations, broadly sympathetic to the Greens electorally.

On polling day, the party had 2,000 volunteers across the constituency to get the vote out. Labour MPs were resigned to the fact that they had even lost the “poster board” war across the constituency.

“We were by far the most active campaign,” Ellie Chowns, Green MP for North Herefordshire, told PoliticsHome. “We had huge numbers of people. We had so many volunteers… The scale and the scope of the campaign, I think, in and of itself helped persuade people.”

Green Party organisers urged activists to use Ecanvasser, an app that helps parties to record voter profiles and political tendencies. “We could see that during the campaign things were progressing well,” said a Green Party source. They were increasingly confused by Labour briefings that the seat was winnable for Starmer’s party.

Labour sources, meanwhile, have been confused by the result. A Labour MP said: “Were our 9,000 votes primarily Pakistani Muslims – or did they put Labour stakes in their gardens and then vote Green?” They added that the Greens “won the bar chart war” in the style of the Liberal Democrats.

“On the Gorton side, ordinary voters would clearly think the Greens were the ones to stop Reform because it was shown in people’s windows,” the MP concluded, referring to voters displaying Green posters. They attributed the Greens’ win to the party’s early success in ensuring support was clearly on display.

The Muslim vote

The third and perhaps most controversial reason for the Greens’ success was their ability to galvanise the Muslim vote. 

Muslim voters have represented the backbone of Labour’s electoral base for decades. The UK constituencies with the largest Muslim populations have tended to return Labour MPs – until the notable exception of George Galloway’s 2024 Rochdale by-election win and Jonathan Ashworth’s Leicester South defeat at the general election. Since the 2023 Gaza war and Labour’s response to it, Muslim voters have felt increasingly apathetic towards the party.

Meanwhile, the Greens have become popular with Pakistani and Bangladeshi voters – who, according to the most recent data, are the predominant Muslim group in Gorton and Denton. A YouGov survey conducted in October found that more than half of this cohort (58 per cent) felt positive about the Greens, compared with 31 per cent who felt positive about Labour.

The Greens managed to lean on networks such as the Muslim Vote, who took Muslims from Madina Mosque in the constituency to go out and vote.

The party was also criticised for printing leaflets in Urdu, with literature claiming that Polanski’s party was the only outfit to stop Islamophobia and offer a strong voice for Muslims.

But Abubakr Nanabawa, head of media at the Muslim Vote, told PoliticsHome he believed it showed the Greens’ willingness to communicate with minority populations. 

“It showed the Greens wanted to communicate with us,” he explained, referring to Muslim voters. “It showed that they want to represent us as well. It was a sign of respect. I don’t think it was the reading of the Urdu, it was just the existence of the Urdu.”

Ultimately the Greens believed their message of “hope” resonated with Muslims and that they represented the three key priorities of Muslim voters – the NHS, the cost of living and Gaza. 

Additional reporting by Sienna Rodgers

The government was shamed in the House of Lords on Monday 23 February 2026 for only publishing its explosive nature and national security assessment after being forced to via a Freedom of Information (FOI) Act request, and urged by peers to release the unabridged version.

The assessment, titled Nature security assessment on global biodiversity loss, ecosystem collapse and national security, was published in January 2026 following an FOI request from the Green Alliance think tank.

It was originally scheduled for publication in Autumn 2025. The Times newspaper reported that publication of the report was stalled by 10 Downing Street because of fears that it was too negative. The paper said the full version “warned of mass migration and nuclear war”.

Labour asked to work with allies to address findings of assessment

Starting the debate, Liberal Democrat energy security and net zero spokesperson John Russell said:

A nature security assessment was initially withheld and then only partially released following an FOI (Freedom of Information) request.

Given the gravity of its findings for biodiversity loss, ecosystem collapse and our future national security, will the Government now publish the report in full? What policy responses are being developed as a result?

Will Ministers engage in open dialogue, both at home and with allies, that recognises the interlinked climate and nature emergencies as essential to our natural security strategy and future prosperity?

Responding, Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) parliamentary under-secretary of state Sue Hayman implied that a longer version of the assessment was indeed withheld. She said:

It is important to note that this is a strategic tool and not a prediction of future possibilities. The idea behind it is to help government plan for future shocks that are credible enough to warrant preparation. The way it has been managed reflects standard national security planning for preparedness.

On policies, we are taking comprehensive action to strengthen resilience to environmental risks, both at home and aboard, through various ways. Tree planting in England is at its highest rate, and we are restoring peatlands, improving water quality and protecting pollinators. We have introduced landmark legislation to protect our oceans.

We are supporting food security with new technology and farming schemes that reward sustainable production, and we are also committed to providing international climate finance—I could go on.

Labour failing to meet its own environmental targets

Later in the debate, Green Party peer Jenny Jones said:

The government sound very good on all these policies, but, in fact, they are not meeting their targets. They are not meeting their targets on tree-planting, marine protected areas or flooding.

It is going to be a contest between which comes first – world war three or climate collapse. Do the government agree?

In response to Jones, Hayman said:

At least the noble Baroness thinks I sound good. The revised environmental improvement plan is designed to deliver everything the noble Baroness talked about. We are working very hard in Defra to ensure that it does.

Peer urges government to publish full report

Reflecting on the debate, Jones later told the Canary:

This government report explains how climate change is a threat to national security because of the disruption and scarcity it brings, so I don’t understand why the government themselves are playing it down.

Wars often begin with fights over resources, with access to food and water being two of the basics and disruption of established trading systems being another. We clearly need a plan to grow more of our own food and become more self reliant by taking care of our farmers.

War in an era of nuclear weapons always carries greater risk, so it’s a priority for the government to publish the full report, including a plan to deal with the consequences of climate changes and to keep our food supply safe.

The world is a far less stable place than it was before Trump and Russia failed to renew their landmark nuclear warhead limitation treaty. This is a bad sign ahead of the latest assessment of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, which will indicate whether the world is going forwards or backwards on the potential for nuclear destruction.

Earlier in February 2026, the treaty to reduce strategic nuclear weapons stockpiles and build trust between the US and Russia – New START – expired.

Reacting soon after the treaty expired, the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament told the Canary that:

Rather than sitting on the sidelines, the government could show leadership and use its diplomatic influence to push for the US and Russia to extend New START.

Politicians need to ‘face up to reality of environmental insecurity’ – conservation expert and
Wildlife and Countryside Link chief executive Richard Benwell told the Canary:

Any politician who thinks that environmental decline isn’t a security issue has their head in the recently-desertified sand. Conflict over resources is an age-old issue and we haven’t outgrown it.

Climate change is causing security headaches in the Arctic, pollinator decline, and water shortages. It threatens food security, as well as putting homes at risk from flood and fire. It’s time for all political parties to face up to the reality of environmental insecurity and restore nature.

Policymakers told to address drivers of biodiversity loss, not its consequences

Conflict and Environment Observatory director Doug Weir told the Canary:

Policymakers must avoid the mistakes made with climate security, where security risks were presented as inevitable and a justification for militarised responses rather than tackling emissions, adaptation and finance.

Address the drivers of biodiversity loss, not its consequences, and make sure that global biodiversity goals address the relationship between nature, peace and security, because right now they don’t.

Former intelligence official criticises ‘bungled rollout’ of assessment

Analysis from the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists – the organisation which publishes the high-profile Doomsday Clock – also weighed in to criticise the UK government’s handling of the assessment’s publication.

The Bulletin published an article on 23 February 2026, written by the US National Security Archive’s Climate Change Transparency Project director Rachel Santarsiero, where she quoted former US intelligence official at the State Department’s Bureau of Intelligence and Research, Rod Schoonover.

Schoonover said:

The rigour of the Defra assessment doesn’t negate its bungled rollout, nor the public backlash that ensued. Any pull back from transparency is a mistake from any government.

He added:

I suspect that the intelligence community did not make the determination that this [report] should not go forward. It feels like [it came from] someone higher up.

Matt Goodwin was Reform UK’s candidate in the Gorton & Denton. As we reported, he ran a campaign which was openly antagonistic towards the Muslim community in the constituency. This wasn’t surprising, of course, as his campaign team was stacked full of racists.

Now that Goodwin has lost, he’s blaming the Muslim voters he repeatedly attacked for refusing to vote for him. And as comedian Tez Ilyas points out:

Lost to a blonde woman whose party leader is a gay Jew.

Those darn Muslims 😤 https://t.co/QXE4SJMJzJ

Matt Goodwin: that’s politics

We’re sorry, but have Reform completely forgotten how politics works?

You have to offer voters something besides open disgust.

Forgetting about the Muslims who didn’t vote Reform, why did Goodwin think a majority of Manchester residents would respond positively to his message? Manchester is one of the most multicultural and progressive cities in the country; of course they wouldn’t warm to this robotic, dead-eyed Islamophobe.

This is Goodwin’s message in full:

Statement:

“We are losing our country. A dangerous Muslim sectarianism has emerged. We have only one general election left to save Britain. Vote Reform every chance you get. I will continue the fight. I will always fight for you. I will stand at the next general election. Matt.” pic.twitter.com/2jLMNv0ap6

— Matt Goodwin (@GoodwinMJ) February 27, 2026

For whatever reason, Goodwin chose to include an image of him looking at his phone. Maybe if he’d spent more time listening to local voters and less time hate-tweeting, things could have gone differently!

As Tez points out at the top, Goodwin’s message really exemplifies the hypocrisy of the right.

On the one hand, they want you to believe that Muslims are a hardline, antisemitic monolith who have failed to integrate; on the other, they want you to ignore that a considerable percentage of British Muslims just voted for an openly gay Jewish man.

So Farage wants us to believe that Muslim women were desperate to vote for Matt Goodwin but were coerced by their husbands into voting for a party led by a gay Jew instead?
Fucking hilarious.

— Sarah (@kokeshimum) February 27, 2026

It’s not just Goodwin who’s crying today; his would-have-been-boss Farage is also having a moan.

this is straight out of the trump playbook. never been clearer how important it is for us to unite and reject reform and their hate. tonight clearly shows it’s greens that are in the position to do it. https://t.co/g7ck6TY65w

To be fair to Goodwin and Farage, neither is quite as extreme as Telegraph contributor Jake Wallis Simons:

We’ve reached ‘the Greens winning Gorton and Denton is the 1979 Iranian Revolution’ levels of hysteria https://t.co/ATOWvJn0e0

— Shabbir Lakha (@ShabbirLakha) February 27, 2026

A positive sign

The truth about politics is that most people don’t choose a candidate because they think that person is wholly in line with them. For most, they think about their own self interests first and foremost, and they vote for the politician who most closely aligns with them.

In Gorton & Denton, the Greens convinced more voters than any other party that they best represented their interests. And they did so with a message that society can be about more than pure individualism.

That’s a positive sign for the future, and for what this country can become.

Tatiana Maslany has taken to her Instagram to urge her followers to ‘boycott Scream 7’. This call to action from the ‘Orphan Black’ star comes as a reminder that Melissa Barrera had been fired from Scream 7 due to her advocacy for Palestine. Since Israel began its genocide against Palestinians after October 7th, 2023, many activists and concerned citizens have faced repression from employers or public officials to deter solidarity with Palestinians.

Once again, speaking up against the mass murder of Palestinians has resulted in attempts by powerful people to destroy a woman’s career. Maslany in response has Barrera’s back and reminds people that as consumers, we have power.

🚨 Tatiana Maslany, known for her role in She-Hulk says that fans must boycott Scream 7, sharing a “Boycott Scream 7” message recently on her IG story.

Scream 7 and repression tactics against Palestine solidarity

The recent ‘Scream 7’ premiere on 26th February in Los Angeles faced interruption from protesters. They were unhappy about the production company, Spyglass Media Group, sacking Barrera for sticking up for Palestinians. The Independent reported on the protest. It commented that Barrera addressed them on her socials saying ‘I see you’ to those who turned up to defend her rights.

‘She-Hulk’ star Maslany hit the nail on the head with her stories when she urged a boycott of those responsible for Barrera’s sacking. After all, the law protects political beliefs. And those who oppose what they describe as genocide and mass murder place themselves on the right side of history. Maslany and Barrera deserve to be deeply proud of their principled, courageous and compassionate stance taken. Reminding her fans of our innate power as consumers by using her public platform is exactly the right thing to do.

Spyglass Media Group fired Barrera in 2023 after the company deemed her posts antisemitic and labeled them ‘hate speech.’ This isn’t the first time powerful people have persecuted others for daring to oppose what they describe as the mass murder of Palestinian men, women, and children — and it likely won’t be the last.

In 2023, Melissa Barrera was fired from Scream 7 for making peace posts.

Her close friend Jenna Ortega stepped away in solidarity.

‘We Are Dismayed’

Maslany recently joined over 80 famous film stars in an open letter titled “We Are Dismayed” to challenge Berlinale’s silence in the face of Israel’s brutal and illegal brutality on Palestine. On the joint letter, we wrote:

Hollywood actors Tilda Swinton, Javier Bardem and Brian Cox are among more than 80 leading film industry figures to sign an open letter, titled “We Are Dismayed”, condemning the silence of the Berlin Film Festival (Berlinale) on Israel’s genocide in Gaza and its censoring of artists who speak out.

The letter comes on the same day as Booker Prize winning author Arundhati Roy announced her withdrawal from the festival over the same issue amidst comments by German director Wim Wenders against artists bringing up Gaza.

The letter was a clear ‘fuck you’ to Berlinale organisers. It showed a clear red line when it comes to the blatant attempts to censor creative and public people. Towards the end, they said:

We fervently disagree with the statement made by Berlinale 2026 jury president Wim Wenders that filmmaking is “the opposite of politics”. You cannot separate one from the other. We are deeply concerned that the German state-funded Berlinale is helping put into practice what Irene Khan, the UN Special Rapporteur on Freedom of Expression and Opinion recently condemned as Germany’s misuse of draconian legislation “to restrict advocacy for Palestinian rights, chilling public participation and shrinking discourse in academia and the arts”. This is also what Ai Weiwei recently described as Germany “doing what they did in the 1930s” (agreeing with his interviewer who suggested to him that “it’s the same fascist impulse, just a different target”).

All of this at a time when we are learning horrifying new details about the 2,842 Palestinians “evaporated” by Israeli forces using internationally prohibited, U.S.-made thermal and thermobaric weapons. Despite abundant evidence of Israel’s genocidal intent, systematic atrocity crimes and ethnic cleansing, Germany continues to supply Israel with weapons used to exterminate Palestinians in Gaza.

Repression and professional sabotage

We wrote recently on the European Legal Service Centre’s (ELSC) ‘Repression Index’. The database they have formed catalogues the number of times that people have been attacked for antisemitism. This includes the relative scale to the rise of Nazi Germany. The ELSC is a Europe-based legal organisation that proudly supports advocacy for Palestinian rights. Its ‘Repression Index’ documents reported incidents in which individuals — academics, lawyers, students, NGOs — endured ‘lawfare’ facing disciplinary action, dismissal or investigation for their views.

We wrote:

British society is no longer blind to the fact that our freedom of speech faces institutional attack. Those same institutions answer to Keir Starmer who, as we’ve reported before, has chosen Israel at every turn.

Even the far right has long expressed concerns that free speech is being curtailed. But not to call out blatant attacks on universal civil liberty and the unspoken institutional veto against anyone opposing the murder of innocent men, women and children in Gaza.

As UK citizens, we need to ask ourselves ‘why are some people more outraged about limits on hateful speech than about our ability to object to mass murder’?

In response to Maslany’s call to boycott Scream 7, we will undoubtedly see attempts to sabotage Maslany’s professional career.

However, they’d do well to remember just how much love and respect is held amongst her fans:
