My first canvass in Gorton & Denton.
Lidl here not quite showing the upbeat Longsight in front of us.
Doorstep responses:
- "Labour have had their day. They took us for granted"
- "Reform have to be stopped"
- "Greens get us"
Game on!

Hackney is a crucial target seat for the Green Party at this year’s local elections. I followed the local party on a day of canvassing, and spoke to the Greens’ hopefuls for mayor and deputy mayor, Zoë Garbett and Dylan Law.

Really enjoying James's wild behaviour, makes sense he and Jessie are pals. Matt is basically behaving like a traitor already! Stephen dressing like 70s Bowie. Jessie remembers more than a couple of episodes ago. James, "I'm expecting to be grilled like a bit of bacon" #TheTraitors #TheTraitorsUK

Sums it up, people liked the greens pre Polanski, but things have gone to another level since he took over 👇
There was a stream of people who used to vote Labour now voting Green.
"It has now become a torrent."

Greens look set to clean up as Labour switchers move left
Labour voters liked the insurgent party even before the arrival of their new leader. As local elections approach, Zack Polanski appears ready to break through in the areas Keir Starmer neglected
