Today’s Opinium polling has Reform on lowest vote share since Jan 25 and Greens on joint highest.

A fun night with @mothinali.bsky.social touring the studios chatting about why Greens are throwing the kitchen sink at the upcoming Greater Manchester elections. Only Greens can beat Reform in Greater Manchester.
Sadly this isn’t new. Here in Stroud Labour threw good Cllrs out of the party because they insisted on working with Greens to keep the Tories out. Disgraceful for a central party to treat their cllrs like that.
Celebrating winning a county council seat in Reform’s flagship council AND announcing our membership is now over 225,000 (that’s 25,000 more since the Gorton and Denton by election!). Huge.
Out of the 16 most recent polls, 8 of them have Greens in second place now.

Of the 5 most recent national polls, 3 have Greens in second ahead of Labour. 1 has Greens and Labour tied. 1 has Lab in front.
It's 2026 ... and the media is still trying to police what women wear (even when they accept themselves they wouldn't do this to men) during (checks notes) an International Women's Day debate. 🙄
New poll: Techne has Greens up (to record high for this pollster) and Reform down. While YouGov and Find Out Now have Greens ahead of Labour, Techne has them level pegging. How long until Greens overtake Labour in polling average?
“The Beaver does not chew through the whole trunk, just enough to make the tree unstable” Happy Friday from everyone at @greenparty.org.uk
2nd week in a row that both YouGov and Find Out Now have Greens in second place ahead of Labour. Good news is that YouGov have Reform down to 23% and FON have them down to 26%
Huge result for @greenparty.org.uk here in Stroud! 67%! Means Greens stay leading the council. Well done @stroudgreens.org.uk
2nd poll within the week puts Greens in second place, well ahead of both Labour and Tories (the first was YouGov's weekly poll that had Greens on 21% with Tories/Lab on 16% and Reform on 23%).
As Labour and right-wing media throw increasingly desperate attacks at Greens (knowing it's Greens Vs Reform in Gorton and Denton) our Press Office responses are becoming more curt. This is in today's Mail on Sunday attack piece
This is what Greens have been saying for weeks now. The tactical vote for keeping Reform out in Gorton and Denton is Green. This used to be a Labour stronghold, but their support has collapsed.
In Gorton and Denton, if you want to beat Reform please do #VoteGreen
The other by-election everyone is talking about is also going well for @greenparty.org.uk … @stroudgreens.bsky.social running a mighty campaign in Thrupp
This is @zackpolanski.bsky.social’s take on those Jim Ratcliffe comments …
