The new Green MP for Gorton and Denton, Hannah Spencer, has criticised Nigel Farage for adopting Donald Trump-style tactics by claiming that the Greens won the by-election due to cheating and ‘family voting’.
Farage said without evidence that he was “absolutely convinced” that Reform’s candidate, the GB News presenter Matt Goodwin, came first among British-born voters.
He also made a jibe at Green voters, saying: “I’m not sure anyone who votes Green works.”
Following Reform’s defeat in the by-election, Farage pledged to ban postal voting and strip citizens from Commonwealth countries of their right to vote.
Reform also reported allegations of “family voting” raised by election monitoring group Democracy Volunteers to the police.
Responding to Farage’s comments, Spencer, who was sworn in as an MP yesterday, told the Guardian: “Everyone’s vote is equal. Farage today is talking racist nonsense and is trying to sound like his hero Donald Trump who also tried to deny the results of an election he lost.”
“Farage doesn’t even know who voted for Reform, it’s a secret ballot and he spent hardly any time in the constituency.
“Farage has insulted the people of my constituency by saying people who voted Green don’t work. We won by appealing to everyone, including Reform voters, and his party were shown the door.”
Georgie Laming, director of campaigns at the anti-extremism campaign group Hope Not Hate, said that Farage had a “track record of seeking to undermine elections and the wider democratic process”.
Laming pointed out that “Like his close ally Donald Trump, Farage has regularly disputed election defeats, including in Oldham in 2015, Peterborough in 2019 and Rochdale in 2024.”
While Farage said he thinks Goodwin came first among British-born voters, Sunder Katwala, director of the British Future think tank, said polling suggested Reform and the Greens each won roughly a third of the white British vote.
He added that Reform had limited support among under-40s, students, graduates, renters, and British-born minority voters.

Sadiq Khan has told Keir Starmer to ditch his “flawed strategy” of taking progressive voters for granted, after Labour came third in the Gorton and Denton by-election last week.
The Mayor of London criticised the prime minister for branding the Green party “extreme”, and said that trying to compete with Reform is “inauthentic” and a betrayal of Labour values.
In an article for the Guardian, Khan said that “there was no sugar-coating” that losing Gorton and Denton, a seat Labour had held for nearly a century, was “a terrible result”.
Khan stated that “A political strategy of taking liberal, progressive voters for granted is clearly flawed. The national Labour party and government doesn’t just need to reflect on this result, but fundamentally rethink its approach.”
He added that “the vast majority of those who are thinking of voting Green are not extreme”, and that “calling them extreme will only turn more people away”.
Khan referred to how he has called out Trump for racism and sexism, and lobbying for the UK to rejoin the EU customs union and spoken out about the killing of Palestinians.
Khan said: “Staying quiet on these issues and trying to compete with Reform on the right of politics not only feels inauthentic – at a time when authenticity is more prized in politics than ever – but a betrayal of what Labour is supposed to represent. We must address the concerns and fears of voters, not play on them.”
Khan praised Starmer’s “good work” on free breakfast clubs and workers’ rights, and added that he was not calling for Starmer to resign.
However, he said he felt the prime minister’s achievements were being overshadowed by “missteps and political positioning” on issues such as Gaza, Brexit and migration.

Labour should treat the message being sent by the electorate in the Denton and Gorton by-election result seriously, but its message is not mysterious. It’s pretty much the same message the voters have been sending to Westminster since 2016 – “We want things to be different. We’ve been too poor for too long. We want our material conditions to be better.” Having spent eleven days in total on the campaign trail there, I heard variations on this repeatedly.
This message reflects an economy that has not delivered rising living standards for far too long. Britain has now endured roughly eighteen years of economic stagnation. Before the 2008 Great Financial Crisis, economic growth was steady and reliable. Productivity increased. Wages rose. Governments of different political colours operated within an economy that, while imperfect, was fundamentally moving forward.
But since 2008, that has no longer been true.
Economic growth has slowed dramatically compared to the long-term trend. Real wages stagnated for much of the 2010s and only recently began to recover, and even now many families feel no better off. Public services have been stretched by rising demand without the economic expansion needed to support them comfortably.
This prolonged stagnation has had political consequences. Britain has become a country defined by economic pessimism. An ever-shrinking minority of voters believe the country is heading in the right direction. Large numbers believe their children will be worse off than they are. Even when headline economic indicators improve, public perceptions remain bleak because people do not feel sustained progress in their own lives.
Political loyalties have become ever more fragile. Many voters now see their support for parties as conditional, willing to switch when they do not see tangible improvements. The old assumption that voters would remain anchored to one party over long periods has weakened significantly.
That helps explain the political volatility of the past decade. In 2016, voters backed Brexit, rejecting the economic and political status quo. In 2019, many lent their support to Boris Johnson, including in communities that had not voted Conservative in generations again rejecting the old order. In 2024, voters turned to Labour with its promise of change and improvement. And now in Denton, voters have again chosen to send the same signal.
These are not the actions of an irrational electorate. They are the actions of people trying to find a way out of economic stagnation. And unless we rise to the challenge, the electorate will roll the dice again at the next General Election.
After the financial crisis, Britain did not simply suffer a recession. It experienced a deeper shift. The economic model that had supported consistent growth before 2008 stopped delivering at the same pace. Successive governments faced tighter constraints, slower growth, and more difficult trade-offs. The result was a prolonged sense of drift.
Political instability has followed naturally from that economic instability. When governments cannot deliver sustained improvements in living standards, public confidence weakens. Trust declines. Voters become more willing to take risks in search of change.
Labour must recognise the scale of that challenge. It is not enough to govern competently within an economic model that is not producing strong growth. Competence matters, and stability matters, but they must be accompanied by visible economic progress.
Britain needs higher levels of investment than it has seen in recent decades. Public investment in infrastructure, housing, and energy is not a luxury. It is essential if we are to improve productivity and support private sector growth. Many parts of the country have been underinvested in for too long. That has weakened local economies and contributed to the sense that opportunity is unevenly distributed.
State-led investment has played a central role in every period of sustained British economic success. The creation of modern infrastructure, the expansion of housing, and the development of new industries did not happen by accident. They happened because governments chose to act.
That lesson remains relevant today. Investment in transport connections, clean energy, housing supply, and regional economic development can help unlock growth and spread opportunity more widely.
Growth alone, however, is not enough. It must be accompanied by fair distribution. When growth is broadly shared, it strengthens the economy by supporting consumer demand and social stability. When it is narrowly concentrated, it weakens trust and limits its own sustainability.
Labour has an opportunity and a responsibility to respond to this moment. That means focusing on policies that can raise long-term growth and ensure its benefits are widely shared. It means investing in the economic foundations of the country and in the places where people live and work. Above all, it means recognising that economic stagnation is not inevitable. It is the result of choices, and it can be addressed through different choices.
The Denton and Gorton result should be understood in that context. It is not a rejection of Labour’s values. It is a reminder that voters expect progress as well as stability.
Labour exists to improve the material conditions of working people. That requires sustained economic growth, active government, and a commitment to ensuring that prosperity is shared across the country. Delivering that progress is essential not only for electoral success, but for the long-term strength and cohesion of the country itself.

Following the Labour Party’s defeat in the Gorton and Denton by-election, Prime Minister Keir Starmer has written to all of the party’s MPs expressing his disappointment at the result, setting out the reasons he thinks were behind the defeat, while at the same time vowing to carry on despite calls in some quarters for him to go.
The Labour Party finished third in the constituency, a seat it had controlled for over 100 years and where it won with an absolute majority at the 2024 general election.
A number of unions and MPs on the left of the party have called on the Prime Minister to reflect on his own position, however the Prime Minister has vowed to carry on.
Here is the Prime Ministers letter in full:
Dear Colleagues,
The result in Gorton and Denton is deeply disappointing.
Instead of a Labour MP who can be a local champion delivering for Gorton and Denton alongside a Labour Government and a Labour mayor, the people of Gorton and Denton now have a representative who is more interested in dividing people than uniting them. We have to learn lessons from that, and we will.
I know this is a tough result for our movement but I still want to thank you for everything you did to support our brilliant candidate Angeliki Stogia. She did a fantastic job and Gorton and Denton deserved to have her as their MP.
We’ve seen the true colours of Zack Polanski’s Greens in this campaign. The Greens were able to capitalise on an endorsement from George Galloway to win over enough voters to push them over the line. Their willingness to welcome Galloway’s divisive, sectarian politics is a sign that the Greens are not the harmless environmentalists they pretend to be, and their position on legalising all drugs shows how unstable this electoral coalition is. It cannot survive a general election campaign.
It hurts, but this is the kind of result that we have often seen parties of government face. In by-elections people can make their voice heard without risking a change of government. I get it: people are rightly impatient to see the change they voted for.
It’s my job to make sure that happens. And I’m working day in, day out to see it through.
Over the coming months, people will feel the benefit of the long-term decisions this government is taking. Look at the good economic news we’ve had in the past week: inflation and borrowing coming down, retail sales and business confidence rising, energy bills falling. And look at the policies that are going to make a difference in people’s lives in the coming months: the landmark Employment Rights Act, money off energy bills, the cruel two-child limit scrapped, more free breakfast clubs opening, Pride in Place funding coming through, NHS waiting lists continuing to fall. It will show what we’ve been saying from the outset of this year: the country is turning a corner. These are all Labour policies, putting Labour values into action – policies no other party would or could deliver.
The Greens may have won here, but they simply do not have the resources, the activist base or the local knowledge to replicate this victory across the country. We’ve seen that before. We’ve seen it with the Lib Dems, who have often won mid-term by-elections against both the Conservatives and Labour, but never been able to come close to winning nationally. We’ve seen it with George Galloway, who won two mid-term by elections but held neither of those seats in a general election.
We will continue to warn of the risk the Greens pose: the risk of extreme policies like legalising all drugs and pulling out of NATO that most voters strongly reject, and the risk of splitting the progressive vote so that Reform come through the middle.
The next election is too important to let that happen. It’s a fight we can win, and we’re going to win it.
Best,
Keir

The chairman of Reform UK has endured a humiliating interview after trying to claim that he was ‘thrilled’ at the outcome of the Gorton and Denton by-election, despite his party losing.
Reform threw all that they had at the seat, however they still lost.
Appearing on LBC to discuss the result, Dr David Bull, was asked by presenter Nick Ferrari for his reaction to the result, and said he was ‘absolutely thrilled’ with the result, to which Ferrari replied: “You like losing then do you?”
Ferrari added: “How on earth can you chair a party and you’re thrilled when you lose Dr Bull?”
He tried to downplay Reform’s chances in the seat, claiming that it wasn’t a priority, this despite the fact that his party poured a lot of resources into it. Dr Bull claimed that Reform have ‘learnt from the campaign’.

The former Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn has pledged that his new political outfit – Your Party – will ‘work constructively with the Greens’ following the Gorton and Denton by-election.
Corbyn also congratulated the Green Party candidate – now MP – Hannah Spencer for her victory in the by-election. Corbyn endorsed the Green Party in the by-election.
Speaking following the by-election, Corbyn said: “Congratulations to Hannah Spencer on a stunning victory.
“Proud to support a campaign built on hope and humanity.
“Under our new leadership team, Your Party will work constructively with the Greens, because there is only one way we can bring about real change: together.”
Corbyn’s comments also follow the elections to the Your Party Central Executive Committee (CEC) – the collective leadership body that will be running the party. In those elections, the slate backed by Corbyn – The Many – won 14 of the 24 seats on the CEC.

At the polls, Goodwin’s message was rejected. The Greens’ Hannah Spencer won 14,980 votes, and Goodwin came second, with over 4,400 fewer votes.
After losing, Goodwin issued an inflammatory losing statement claiming that Reform had lost due to Muslim sectarianism.
Goodwin wrote on X: “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.”
Both Goodwin and Nigel Farage have also been saying that there had been evidence of “family voting” in polling booths yesterday. Family voting is where two voters use one polling booth at the same time, and can involve husbands telling their wives how to vote.
Democracy Volunteers raised the issue after the polls closed, and appears to have not reported the allegations to the police.
A spokesperson for the local council’s acting returning officer said that if the observers had been “so concerned about alleged issues they could and should have raised them with us during polling hours so that immediate action could be taken”.
The statement added: “It is extremely disappointing that Democracy Volunteers have waited until after polls have closed to make such claims.”
Democracy Volunteers did not mention race or ethnicity, but Farage said it raised concerns about “democratic process in predominantly Muslim areas”.
Reacting to Goodwin’s statement, one X user, Mike Galsworthy, said: “You got whipped.
“But instead of being gracious, you make up an arrant, racist libellous story …which there is no police validation of…
– and which you think accounts for over 4,000 votes?? Really? This is Trump tactics on your part – it’s undermining democracy in a sulk.”
Investigative journalist Carole Cadwalladr wrote on X: “This is racism, pure and simple. It’s also a test. The UK press needs to describe it for exactly what it is: that Reform’s candidate made a racist and inflammatory losing statement.”
Salma Yaqoob wrote: “Almost feel sorry for the haters who are trying to spin Muslims voting for a woman in a party led by a gay Jewish man is evidence of Islamist sectarianism.
“In fact it’s evidence of genuine tolerance, rejection of superficial identity politics and ability to prioritise tackling common concerns of cost of living, protecting public services and rejecting war mongering. And the promotion of mutual respect and individual freedoms.
“The coming together of people is terrifying for the ruling elites.”

Following the Labour Party’s defeat in the Gorton and Denton by-election, a number of trade unions have given their reaction, calling on the party to change course.
The Green Party won the by-election, with Labour coming third in the tightly contested race, 5,616 votes behind the Greens on 14,980 votes, while Reform UK finished second with 10,578 votes. The result represents a 25.3% drop in Labour’s vote compared to 2024.
Reacting to the party’s defeat, Unite, have called on the government to ‘wake up and listen’.
Unite general secretary Sharon Graham said: “If Labour needed any further wake up calls – this is clearly one. Labour need to now ditch the gimmicks and get back to being Labour – not new, not one that plays games, but real Labour.
“Workers and families are hurting. We have a cost of living crisis largely being ignored and investment in jobs for the here-and-now being blocked by a Treasury that doesn’t seem to understand the basics of what is needed to build Britain.
“Stop listening your rich mates and start listening to everyday people.”
UNISON called on the government to stand up for workers and defend ‘fundamental values’.
UNISON general secretary Andrea Egan said: “The Greens won for a simple reason. Many traditional Labour supporters, in Manchester and across the country, want to see progressive values robustly defended against the far-right, not gleefully abandoned.
“A Labour government should be standing up for workers, defending migrants and refugees, and taking the fight to Nigel Farage rather than letting him set the agenda.”
Egan went on to add: “If the government wants to survive, it urgently needs to stand up for workers and defend our fundamental values.”
The head of the Fire Brigades Union, Steve Wright, says “Labour’s entire strategy of framing politics as “it’s us v Reform” is in tatters.
He said: “The party’s traditional core vote is collapsing before our eyes. This result represents a halving of the vote compared to 2024. That should set alarm bells ringing across the labour movement.
“If the government does not change course immediately, it will face heavy losses in the May elections, and at that point, the political consequences for Keir Starmer will become unavoidable. The game will be up unless there is a decisive shift in direction.
“The Labour Party needs to listen to the people, not Parliament. It needs to listen to its members and affiliated unions, not corporate lobbyists.”

Despite the polls and predictions pointing to a knife-edge contest, when it came to it, the Gorton and Denton by-election wasn’t close.
The Greens’ Hannah Spencer won with a majority of 4,402 votes, beating Reform.
The result is a historic defeat for Labour. Gorton and Denton was a safe Labour seat, in an area that the party had held continuously since 1935, through several boundary changes.
Here are some initial reactions from Labour figures and trade unions following the party’s defeat.
Nadia Whittome, Labour MP for Nottingham East, said: “Our party has just come third in Gorton and Denton, a previously safe Labour seat – an area where we haven’t lost an election since 1931.”
Whittome said there were clear lessons to be learned and warned the party not to “ape Reform”.
She said: “In order to keep our voter coalition together we should be true to the progressive values that Labour is meant to stand for. The failure to do this meant large parts of our coalition fled to another progressive party.”
Whittome also criticised Labour for putting “factional interests ahead of anything else” by blocking Andy Burnham from standing as a candidate.
She also said: “The bizarre claims about the Greens in relation to drugs and sex workers were desperate, embarrassing, and harmful. It is no wonder they did not work and instead reflected badly on our party.”
Whittome said that the results “shows why first past the post isn’t fit for purpose. If the government doesn’t introduce proportional voting, a far right party could win the next general election outright on a minority of the vote.
“This possibility inevitably makes tactical voting essential in some seats, and Labour is playing with fire.”
Karl Turner, Labour MP for Kingston-upon-Hull, said the result was “a catastrophe”.
He told Times Radio: “The reality is we’ve ended up with a situation which we could have avoided, that’s just the truth. This was avoidable. But here we are, in Manchester, with the Greens. It’s the worst result the Labour Party could have ever had, frankly.
“So here we are with a situation where we can’t out-left wing the Greens, we tried to out-right wing Reform on immigration and other such matters.
“My message to Keir Starmer, the prime minister, is this: why don’t we try and be Labour?”
Andrea Egan, Unison’s general secretary said: “The Greens won because Labour under Starmer has abandoned progressive values, imitating the far-right instead of taking the fight to them.
“If the Government wants to survive it urgently needs to stand up for workers and defend the fundamental values of our movement.”
General secretary of Unite, Sharon Graham, said: “Labour need now to ditch the gimmicks and get back to being Labour – not New Labour claptrap, not one that plays games but real Labour.”
She said that “workers and families are hurting”, and told Labour to “Stop listening to your rich mates and start listening to everyday people”.

The Green Party has won the Gorton and Denton by-election with a majority of more than 4,000.
The Green Party’s Hannah Spencer picked up 40.6 per cent of the vote, beating both Reform and Labour in what was a three-way contest for the Greater Manchester constituency.
This marks the first time the Green Party has ever won a parliamentary by-election and the first time they have ever won a seat in the north of England.
Reform came second with 28.7 per cent of the vote. Labour came third with 25.4 per cent.

As voters in Gorton and Denton head to the polls today, it’s shaping up to be a very tight race, with Labour, the Greens and Reform UK expected to be separated by just a few points.
The by-election was triggered by Andrew Gwynne, who was sacked as a minister and suspended from Labour over offensive WhatsApp messages, standing down due to ill health.
Gwynne won the new Greater Manchester seat in 2024, with a 13,413 vote majority. Prior to boundary changes, Gwynne was the MP for Denton and Reddish from 2005.
Labour held Denton and Reddish from 1983, until it was abolished before the 2024 election.
In 2024, Reform UK candidate Lee Moffitt came second with 5,142 votes, while the Greens’ Amanda Gardner finished third with 4,810.
Now, the race is tight enough that either the Greens or Reform UK could overtake Labour and snatch the seat.
Amid a crowded field of 11 candidates standing in this by-election, the three main contenders are expected to be: Labour’s Angeliki Stogia, Hannah Spencer for the Greens, Reform’s Matt Goodwin.
Predictions
Britain Elects, a poll aggregator which is run by New Statesman data journalist Ben Walker and Lily Jane Summers gave its final forecast for the crunch by-election yesterday.
The Britain Predicts final forecast for Gorton and Denton, with ranges:
Green: 31% (25-38%)
Reform: 30% (30-33%)
Labour: 29% (22-34%)
Walker notes that Gorton, the more ethnically diverse part of the constituency, appears to be leaning towards the Greens, while Denton, with its predominantly white working-class population, seems to have higher levels of support for Reform UK.
A poll by Opinium, commissioned by Byline Times had the Greens level with Labour on 28%, one point ahead of Reform on 27%. Among voters most likely to turn out, Greens edge ahead to 30%, with Labour and Reform both on 28%.
An Omnisis poll had the Greens on 22%, Reform UK on 20%, Labour on 18%, Undecideds on 31%. This very much indicates that the result could be decided on the day, by voters who either didn’t want to disclose who they’d vote for or were genuinely undecided.
What do the parties think about their prospects?
Green Party leader Zack Polanski told The Guardian this morning that the party’s internal data suggested it was fractionally behind Reform, with Labour “way, way behind”.
There were reports that Labour may not have been feeling so confident about its prospects, when Keir Starmer refused to say whether he would visit Gorton and Denton ahead of the election.
On Monday, Starmer visited Gorton and Denton. The Guardian’s Pippa Crerar said that the visit showed “growing confidence within Labour – despite Greens making inroads into their vote – that it could win the seat”.
Reform is, of course, publicly claiming it can win the seat, but Left Foot Forward does not have any information from internal sources to confirm how confident the party is behind the scenes.
Tactical voting websites
Labour has been criticised for circulating a leaflet featuring a tactical voting group called Tactical Choice. The group urges people vote Labour in order to beat Reform. However, it turns out the group does not exist.
Other tactical voting websites, which do exist, such as Tactical Vote and Stop Reform UK are saying to vote Green to stop Reform from winning.
