Labour anxiety and accusations after big shift in Muslim vote to Greens | Green party

The Green party's success in Gorton and Denton has sparked accusations of sectarian politics from opposition parties, particularly Labour and Reform UK. Hannah Spencer, the Green candidate, won with a significant margin, attributed by some experts to a shift of Muslim voters from Labour. Keir Starmer criticized the Greens for playing divisive politics, while Labour admits the party is building a strong political machine that appeals to progressive voters. The accusations center on campaign materials featuring Narendra Modi, endorsements by figures like George Galloway, and allegations of "family voting". However, Green officials argue their victory reflects unity over division and hope over hate.
