The Greens win - What will be the consequences?
Episode 389
Friday, 27 February, 2026

In the end the Greens won the Gorton and Denton by-election with ease. Labour were third in one of their safest seats. Reform is no longer the only insurgent party of ‘change’. Given the restive mood of voters since the 2008 crash, should any of us be surprised by this - except for the Labour leadership following an outdated, shallow and confused strategy? Rock & Roll Politics is live at the Cambridge Literary Festival on Saturday April 25th. You can get tickets here. And live at Kings Place on May 11th, days after the May elections: tickets here.
