Yesterday\u2019s by-election result in Manchester\u2019s Gorton and Denton constituency could not be more serious for the United Kingdom. Indeed, it may well be a life or death moment.<\/p>\n

The Green Party\u2019s Hannah Spencer took the seat with 14,980 votes, a majority over Reform of 4,402. They secured 40.7% of the votes, compared to 28.7% for Reform\u2019s Matt Goodwin. Labour held the seat at the general election in July 2024, but saw their vote halved as their candidate Angeliki Stogia ended up in third place. See the reports in the Telegraph<\/b><\/a>, the Guardian<\/b><\/a> and ITV News<\/b><\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u2018Hate and grievance\u2019<\/h2>\n
\"Gorton<\/a>

The election was marked by sectarianism, dirty tricks and tactical voting. On the eve of polling, Sir Keir Starmer had told Gorton and Denton voters that the by-election was a battle \u201cfor the soul of the nation\u201d. He was right to refer to a spiritual dimension to the contest, even if he could only dimly see it.<\/p>\n

He described the race as \u201ca fight between people like me who want to fix Britain\u2019s problems and bring communities together. And between people like Nigel Farage who only want to spread hate and grievance\u201d. Labour certainly appear to be prone to infighting, which was what his first sentence suggested. However, in his second sentence, it was the Greens spreading hatred of Israel and playing on Muslim grievances, not Reform. On top of that, Labour, fixated by Reform in the national context, also had the wrong target. It was the Greens who posed the greatest threat to them in Gorton and Denton, not Reform.<\/p>\n

The election marked the first time in a generation (except when Labour withdrew their candidate<\/b><\/a>) that neither Labour nor Conservatives came at least second in the contest. In fact, both Conservative and LibDem candidates lost their deposit last night, polling less than 2% each. The threshold for retaining a candidate\u2019s deposit is 5%.<\/p>\n

\u2019Family voting\u2019 observed<\/h2>\n

Nigel Farage, the Reform leader, accused Muslim voters of cheating to elect the Greens. He claimed the result was a victory for \u201csectarian voting\u201d which presented \u201cserious questions\u201d about the integrity of the ballot in \u201cpredominantly Muslim areas\u201d. Reform may refer matters to the police.<\/p>\n

Democracy Volunteers, a poll observer group accredited by the Electoral Commission, said it had witnessed \u201cconcerningly high levels\u201d<\/b><\/a> of family voting in Thursday\u2019s by-election. The practice \u2013 which can involve members of one household, for example, a husband and wife, entering the polling booth together, was made illegal by the Ballot Secrecy Act 2023.<\/p>\n

It seems polling staff saw nothing, but, astonishingly, a newspaper has revealed<\/strong><\/a> advice to polling staff from the Electoral Commission urged them to exhibit ‘sensitivity for United Kingdom cultures and customs’, ‘keep quiet about it’, in other words. And we can only imagine the scope for abuse of the postal vote, completed in people’s homes.<\/p>\n

After the vote, GBNews says<\/b><\/a> the successful Hannah Spencer was claiming Muslim voters \u2018had more in common with white working-class communities than believed\u2019. She then promised to \u201calways be decent to our Muslim communities.\u201d<\/p>\n

Writing in the Telegraph<\/strong><\/a>, Annabel Denham said: ‘Reading from her phone after her victory, Hannah Spencer \u2013 plumber, plasterer and now Green member for the South Manchester seat \u2013 barely touched on foreign conflicts. It was all cost of living and trust in politics. \u201cWe ran a hopeful campaign and defeated the party of billionaire donors,\u201d she declared. Voters, she insisted, \u201cdon\u2019t have to be turned against each other.\u201d It takes some nerve to speak of unity after a campaign that distributed materials in Urdu urging Muslim voters to \u201cpunish Labour for Gaza\u201d. ‘<\/p>\n

Let us be under no illusion. Following their success, the Green Party will be rolling out their modus operandi country-wide, wherever there is a sizeable Muslim population. Scores of seats could be involved in an antisemitic, nakedly sectarian push. A paper reports an<\/a> Electoral Calculus projection<\/strong> that all but one of the current Cabinet would lose their seats as MPs. Labour could be reduced to 33 seats, the Tories to 10. Reform would be the largest party but have no majority in Parliament.<\/p>\n

\u2019Antisemitic and frankly demonic\u2019<\/h2>\n
\"Green<\/a>

This result really matters. Labour is secularist, Reform are growing more and more sympathetic to the Christian heritage of the United Kingdom<\/b><\/a>, but the Green Party is antisemitic and close to being frankly demonic.<\/p>\n

We knew the Green Party as a bunch of Gaia-worshipping, anti-growth, anti-wealth (except for themselves) bobble-hat wearing Net Zero fanatics.<\/p>\n

Under its new leader, Zack Polanski, the Green party retains the godless woke leftism, including LGBT, pro-abortion as well as Net Zero, but has also been taken over by Muslims. Gaza is their totem issue, and Israel is supposedly conducting a \u2018genocide\u2019 in the Gaza strip. It is now Islamo-left, and we should pray its uneasy coalition ends up in the same internecine strife that has afflicted the Corbyn-Sultana \u2018Your Party\u2019 outfit<\/b><\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Mothin Ali<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The Green\u2019s Deputy Leader is Mothin Ali, who yelled the Muslim war-cry<\/b><\/a> when he was elected as a councillor in Leeds in 2024.<\/p>\n

And the Green Party will vote next month on a motion<\/b><\/a> that claims \u2018Zionism\u2019 should be treated as a form of racism. By refusing to condemn the motion, Mr Polanski is condemning his Jewish mother and sister, who are outspoken in their defence of Israel, to be cast as racist.<\/p>\n

Nakedly sectarian<\/h2>\n

The Green Party is also nakedly sectarian in its approach. A large part of the \u2018Gorton\u2019 wing of the constituency are Muslim, the majority from Pakistan. It is well understood that election leaflets should be printed in English alone in the United Kingdom. In Wales the Welsh language is added, but that is it.<\/p>\n

However, as Spiked Online reveals (and much more)<\/b><\/a>, the Green Party printed and distributed election material in the Pakistani language of Urdu, excluding non-Urdu speakers and sending a clear signal that they are more concerned with the \u2018Ummah\u2019, the Muslim world, than with the United Kingdom as a whole.<\/p>\n

Christian Voice is apolitical. We endorse no political party or parties. But there is a spiritual dimension here which is above secular party politics. The Green Party is identifying itself with Islamism and with mainstream Muslim antisemitism, solidly based on the Islamic scriptures, as our videos (links below) demonstrate.<\/p>\n

Vast majority of Muslims hate Israel<\/h2>\n

A survey in 2024 carried out by JL Partners for the Henry Jackson Society<\/b><\/a> found only one in four British Muslims believe Israel has a right to exist as a Jewish homeland. The same proportion of British Muslims (ie, one quauter) believe Hamas committed murder and rape in Israel on October 7th 2023. 80% believe Israel is committing genocide on Palestinians. Even Wikipedia concedes<\/b><\/a>: \u2018Within the Muslim world, the legitimacy of the State of Israel has been challenged since its inception, and support for Israel\u2019s right to exist is a minority orientation.\u2019<\/p>\n

Taken with the injunction found in the Hadith, a key part of the Muslim scriptures, to kill Jews, the rise of the Green Party\u2019s level of confidence could spell death to Jewish believers. The Bondi Beach massacre and the Heaton Park attack should be acting as a warning that the presence in our midst of fervent Koran-reading, mosque-going Muslims is inimical to Jewish people being able to live among us without fear in peace and security.<\/p>\n

Our elite, of course, deny reality. For Australia\u2019s Prime Minister Albanese the problem with Bondi was not Islamic ideology but his nation\u2019s gun laws. For King Charles, Islam has \u2018much to teach us\u2019 about the environment. For UK politicians, the cause of multiculturalism took and still takes priority over the safety of young girls.<\/p>\n

We must pray<\/h2>\n

We are calling Christians to pray into this crisis, with our spiritual eyes open. Successive leaders of our United Kingdom have legislated not just to legalise evil but to promote it. We are no better than Sodom and Gomorrah. It is hard not to see the small-boat crossings as an invasion force, adding steadily to the followers of Mohammed who are already here, a majority of whom are in favour of Sharia and Islam as a, if not the, national religion.<\/p>\n

In which case, will an Islamic takeover be God\u2019s judgment on this nation? Pray the Lord will remember mercy in his wrath and give our nation\u2019s elite the opportunity to repent. The forces of darkness were advanced by this result, and despite our prayers for mercy, the Lord has delivered judgment.<\/p>\n

But it’s not over until God says it’s over. Keep praying the Lord will raise up (Exod 18:21) … \u2018able men, such as fear God, men of truth, hating covetousness,\u2019 those who will honour and proclaim our Christian constitution and the King of kings as Sovereign over the King and his ministers in our land.<\/p>\n
