Hannah Spencer and Zack Polanski at the Green Party HQ in Gorton, Manchester

There’s a by-election in Gorton & Denton tomorrow, you might have heard about it. In what is being billed as a showdown between the Green Party and Reform, the by-election may prove to be a bellwether result. Over the last two Fridays it’s been a pleasure to photograph the Green Party HQ in Gorton, from its opening 2 weeks ago to a visit by the Green Party Leader, Zack Polanski, last week.

The Greens represent hopeful politics – will Gorton & Denton vote positively or lean towards the hateful rhetoric of Reform?
