Labour Party 'over' claims Green leader

GREEN Party leader Zack Polanski has said the Labour Party is “over” after taking “votes for granted over decades”.

The comments come ahead of the Gorton and Denton by-election at the end of February with the Greens and Reform UK looking to take the seat from Labour.

Mr Polanski, pictured right, referenced Reform UK's narrow victory in a Peterborough City Council by-election where the Greens finished second behind Reform by just 36 votes, while the Labour party candidate placed fourth.

He said: “I think that demonstrates what people feel about this Labour Government right now.

“The Labour Party have taken people's votes for granted over decades, and they're over. They're done. It's very clear.

“I’m meeting people who used to vote Labour, who wouldn't dream of voting Labour (again). It’s very, very clear: the way to stop Reform is to vote for the Green Party.”
