#Greens doubled their vote count whereas #Labour lost about a third of their vote count.

#BBC still relentlessly attacking the Greens. Up pops a Labour "talking head" spinning up positives where really, ground beneath their feet in #HolbornAndStPancras is eroding in favour of the ahem Greens.... 👀

A 3,364 #Labour majority over the #Greens is a decent margin of victory in the #HolbornAndStPancras by-election. Turnout 39% [Labour 12,292 to Greens 8,928].

Previously, a 'safe seat' for #KeirStarmer with 18,884 votes to the then Green vote of 4,030 votes. Turnout 54% & majority of 11,572 votes.

From fleeing war in Somalia as a child, to leading the area that took her in and now being there Member of Parliament.

This is a true British success story! 🙌🏽

Huge congratulations Sagal Abdi-Wali for on her brilliant victory. 🌹

#HolbornAndStPancras: 'impartial '#BBC joins pile-on against #GPEW's defeated #ZackPolanski.

Green vote tripled, in their 2nd-best by-election ever. #LabourParty won only by throwing huge resources at one of its safest seats. In 2019, Labour got 66% in HSP.

Well the papers will be hounding Zack out of politics now....

The Greens have conceded defeat in the Holborn and St Pancras byelection,
saying they have come a “close second” in the contest.

A party spokesperson said:

44 It is clear now we will come a close second in this by-election. Taking the fight
to Labour in one of its safest seats shows just how far the Greens have come.
Voters want us to keep Labour’s feet to the fire on affordable housing, public
ownership of water and the climate crisis. Greens will be there every single day,
holding Labour to account and demanding the change people voted for.

The loss will be disappointing for Zack Polanski, who was hoping to replicate
the party’s seismic win in Gordon and Denton earlier this year. Thousands of
party activists descended on the north London constituency to knock doors
but it appears their efforts fell short.

The results caps off a bruising week Polanski and his eco-populist party,
which fell into turmoil after it voted on Sunday to adopt a policy declaring
Zionism as a form of racism, sparking internal division that continued after
polls closed. Former party leader Caroline Lucas refused to say whether
Polanski should stand down within an hour of polls shutting while speaking
to BBC Newsnight.
