This also marks the first time Reform have not led in our tracker since April 2025. It is the lowest share of the vote for the Greens since October last year when Polanski became leader.

While other parties abandon environmentalism , Liberal Democrats remain committed to the fight. Our message is clear: if you care about protecting Britain’s nature, we’ll offer you a better deal than anyone else.
35°C in May 🤯 It has never been this hot this early in the year, ever. The climate has changed and it's not going to go back to normal anytime soon. People are already dying in heatwaves across Europe, yet Reform are busy scrapping climate targets and pretending this crisis isn’t happening.
We won every seat on Richmond upon Thames Council last week. But that doesn’t mean we’ve changed our mind on electoral reform. It’s time the Government stopped defending a broken system out of self-interest and backed proportional representation.

The old two parties keep failing people looking for change. More people are turning to a party that stands for true British values: the Liberal Democrats.
8 sets of gains in a row - it's our best ever winning streak at local elections. We are the party for those who want to build Britain up, not burn it all down.
We are the only non-populist party left standing. We are the only party that can defeat Reform. Join us, and fight to build our country up rather than tear it all down. 🔶🇬🇧

Strip away Farage's insults and outrage and there's nothing there but a desperation to turn the UK into his version of Trump's America. We will talk Britain up, not down, because we know how special our country can be.

Alison Bennett@alisonebennett.bsky.social · 7mo agoThe govt expect cash-strapped councils to save money by merging with other councils. But these mergers are going to cost huge amounts of time and money. Councils are going to be out of pocket as a result, and as for whether or not the long-term savings will prove real - the only time will tell.
If Reform had won, Labour's statement would be that this result is a stark reminder we need to listen and learn from voters who rightly feel betrayed by modern politics. But the Greens won by a comfortable margin, so it's: these voters are stupid and also sinister and, ugh, Muslims
Tom Roberts@tpgroberts.bsky.social · 7mo agoYeah, having now slept on it properly, it is weird that no losing parties statement really reckons with why people might have chosen the Greens and instead they all chose to blame sectarianism. It does suggest that they still don't really recognise people who vote Green as, you know, real people.
Reform's Trump-style plans for an ICE-like immigration force in the UK will bring only chaos and disorder, not the control our immigration system truly needs.
The debate in Gorton and Denton has been dominated by tactical questions around which party is best placed to stop another party from winning. All because we have a voting system that fails when more than two candidates stand a chance. buff.ly/gUjPNaQ

🎉🎉🎉I’m absolutely delighted to see Hannah Spencer and the Green Party win in Gorton and Denton last night! I obviously would've preferred a Liberal Democrat but as we've never had a presence in the constituency and I'm thrilled to see a fellow progressive party do so well.
