New polling shows Greens surging as campaign momentum builds across Greater Manchester

The Green Party says the race to become the next Mayor of Greater Manchester has been transformed after the first Greater Manchester wide polling since the election campaign began showed a dramatic surge in support for Green candidate Geraldine Coggins.

The polling reflects what Green campaigners say they have been hearing on the doorstep for weeks: voters are looking for real change and are increasingly turning away from Labour and backing the Greens instead.

Green campaign teams report that their own canvassing data now shows the contest increasingly becoming a straight choice between the Greens and Labour in many communities. Since the campaign began, Green volunteers have knocked on thousands of doors across Greater Manchester, with strong support reported in communities where Labour has traditionally dominated.

The news follows Reform telling activists to “pack up” their efforts in Greater Manchester and focus on defending Farage’s seat in Clacton where he is facing a stiff challenge from Count Binface in a self-inflicted by-election.

Geraldine Coggins said:

“This campaign is gathering incredible momentum because people across Greater Manchester know they deserve better than more of the same.”

“Wherever I go, people tell me they’re tired of being taken for granted. They want affordable homes, reliable public transport, thriving high streets and neighbourhoods where everyone has the opportunity to flourish. They want a mayor who will put communities before corporate profit. This election is about taking Greater Manchester back from big money.”

“Our canvassing teams are hearing the same message again and again: people are choosing between the Greens and Labour. More and more residents are deciding that they want real change, and the Green Party is now the party to deliver it.”

The Greens point to their strong gains in May’s local elections, including historic breakthroughs across Greater Manchester, as evidence that voters are increasingly looking to the party as the progressive alternative to Labour.

The party says the campaign will continue to focus on tackling the housing crisis, improving public transport, investing in local communities, reducing inequality and building an economy that works for people rather than corporate developers.

With polling day approaching, the Greens say the contest is no longer about maintaining the status quo, but about whether Greater Manchester chooses a fresh direction.

“This campaign is about believing that Greater Manchester can be fairer, greener and more ambitious,” Geraldine added.

“If you’re ready for a city-region that puts people before profit and communities before vested interests, then now is the time to vote Green. This poll shows it’s Greens Vs the establishment now.”

Heatwave deaths a result of political failure, says Green leader

Responding to news that scientists have estimated around 2,700 people lost their lives prematurely during the May and June heatwaves, Zack Polanski, leader of the Green Party of England and Wales, said:

“With thousands of people dying from extreme heat in just a few weeks, this is an urgent public health crisis – and it’s time the government started treating it as such. And yet we have heard absolute silence from the very leaders responsible for keeping people in this country safe.

“These deaths are on the hands of politicians who have failed to act over the years. All those who put profit over the safety of the public by refusing to take real action to prevent the climate crisis – and are now failing to protect us from its impact.

“The message is clear: without action to protect people from extreme heat, we will see thousands more deaths in the years to come. Something must change. That means maximum workplace temperatures to protect workers, a street-by-street programme of insulation to keep homes cool, and cooling measures installed in all settings where people are vulnerable – like schools, hospitals and care homes.”

Green mayoral candidate says Reform is abandoning Greater Manchester ‘to go and chase a guy with a bin on his head’

Green Party candidate Geraldine Coggins has said Reform is abandoning its campaign in Greater Manchester in order to ‘save the skin’ of Nigel Farage who faces a fight in Clacton against Count Binface.

Leaked WhatsApp messages from Reform yesterday suggested they are diverting their campaign in Greater Manchester to the Clacton byelection.

Geraldine Coggins said:

“It is clear where the priorities of Reform are, not to the people of Greater Manchester, but to try and save the skin of Nigel Farage who’s spending the next month chasing a guy with a bin on his head.

“I have a plan to address the serious issues in Greater Manchester, to put right Labour’s failings and to take back control of Greater Manchester from big money and developers. My plan will deliver 20,000 affordable and publicly owned homes, free bus travel for under 22 year olds and to get our high streets buzzing again.

“Reform’s priority is saving Nigel Farage’s career, not making life better for the people of Greater Manchester.”

Yesterday the Green Party launched their fully costed manifesto for Greater Manchester
