Green Party leader reacts to police investigation

Zack Polanski, the leader of the Green Party, has reacted to police saying they found no evidence of family voting during last month’s Gorton and Denton by-election. 

He is critical of the media’s handling of the story.

Here’s what he’s posted on X…

The morning after Hannah won I was asked time and time again about this.

There was no evidence for it. Instead the establishment media fuelled the fire.

It was Islamaphobic. And it's because those in power are scared of us ending rip off Britain. https://t.co/bhutYrkqoR

‘This isn’t good enough’: Farage not happy with outcome of police by-election probe after Reform complaint

Reform leader Nigel Farage has criticised the outcome of Greater Manchester Police’s probe into alleged family voting in the Gorton and Denton by-election.

Reform UK reported its concerns to the police, after reports from a group of independent election observers.

“Frankly, this is exactly the kind of establishment whitewash people are sick to death of,” Farage says.

“This isn’t good enough. 

“We need proper oversight, real accountability and the courage to admit when something isn’t right, not another brushed-under-the-carpet report from the usual suspects.”

As we’ve been reporting, police found no evidence of any illegal family voting in last month’s by-election.
