A win this big and decisive in a seat this socially mixed is not, and cannot, be down to “Muslim sectarianism”. Deeply concerning that a defeated candidate would seek to undermine the legitimacy of an election result rather than accept a simple truth: Gorton & Denton rejected him

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.”

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.

Thanks to amazing team who came canvassing in Denton with me today - fab reception on the doorsteps 🙂. And if anyone is still (weirdly) thinking of voting Labour - one more Labour backbencher will make no difference - the first Green MP from Manchester would be transformative 💪

Great reception to Green message on doorsteps of Denton & at Longsight Market - voting Greens is clearly seen as best way to stop the hate-filled politics of Reform in the Gorton and Denton by-election. Bumping into the Guardian’s @johnharris1969 was an added bonus 🙂
