This also marks the first time Reform have not led in our tracker since April 2025. It is the lowest share of the vote for the Greens since October last year when Polanski became leader.

While other parties abandon environmentalism , Liberal Democrats remain committed to the fight. Our message is clear: if you care about protecting Britain’s nature, we’ll offer you a better deal than anyone else.
Quote from Tim Farron on a green grassy background which reads: 

Liberal Democrats are leading the way to protect Britain’s nature and green spaces. 

We have led the fight in Parliament to tackle the scandal of sewage being dumped in our lakes 
and rivers, fought for 
better protections for designated sites, and 
we are the only party backing our farmers to be given the support they need to maintain our precious landscapes across the country.

Liberal Democrats are fighting for affordable energy, insulated homes, cleaner rivers, renewable electricity infrastructure, more trees, restored nature, and better public transport that cuts pollution and lowers bills. The climate crisis is here, denying it and pretending otherwise won't help.

35°C in May 🤯 It has never been this hot this early in the year, ever. The climate has changed and it's not going to go back to normal anytime soon. People are already dying in heatwaves across Europe, yet Reform are busy scrapping climate targets and pretending this crisis isn’t happening.

We won every seat on Richmond upon Thames Council last week. But that doesn’t mean we’ve changed our mind on electoral reform. It’s time the Government stopped defending a broken system out of self-interest and backed proportional representation.

If Reform had won, Labour's statement would be that this result is a stark reminder we need to listen and learn from voters who rightly feel betrayed by modern politics. But the Greens won by a comfortable margin, so it's: these voters are stupid and also sinister and, ugh, Muslims

Nigel Farage and Matt Goodwin have already been on their TV shows talking about election fraud and "cheating". Straight out of the Trump playbook, it won't fly here. Britain has rejected fascism before and now it's doing so again.

Labour have completed a similar costume change, by abandoning the left and centre ground of politics, pandering to an ever-shrinking group of right wing voters.

Ed Tyldesley 🔶 @chulmleighed.bsky.social · 27/02/2026
Labour were trusted with a huge majority at the last election because the public roundly rejected the self-serving sleaze of the Tories. Those same Tories have now all joined Reform and have managed to convince their base that they've totally changed!

Ed Tyldesley 🔶 @chulmleighed.bsky.social · 27/02/2026
There’s an important lesson here: progressive parties cannot afford to fight each other while the far right organises. The work of Green Liberal Democrats shows that there is real common ground between Greens and Lib Dems, especially on climate, fairness, and electoral reform.

Tackling inequality and injustice has always been at the heart of why I got involved in politics too. Foreigners interfering in our politics is a problem, but not the hardworking migrants that Reform point and screech at - it's the likes of Musk, Bezos, Putin, and Trump that are the biggest threat.

Ed Tyldesley 🔶 @chulmleighed.bsky.social · 27/02/2026
What really struck me was Hannah’s focus on inequality and injustice. Calling out the concentration of wealth in the hands of a few, and speaking up for those who are too often ignored, is exactly the kind of politics we need more of.

Ed Tyldesley 🔶 @chulmleighed.bsky.social · 27/02/2026
At a time when the far-right is trying to divide our communities and drag our politics backwards, voters chose something better. They chose fairness, tolerance and respect. They chose to reject Reform's brand of grievance politics and say clearly that Manchester stands for inclusion, not exclusion.

It looks as if the government might have finally listened to Lib Dem calls for a profit cap on SEND providers. For too long the SEND private market has been a rigged racket. Hopefully this change will mark the end of our vulnerable children being treated like cash cows.
