Zack Polanski, Mothin Ali & Rachel Millward - The Green Party

The excerpt appears to be a navigation/header segment from the Green Party of England & Wales website showing three “Latest Press Releases” dated February 2026 and a slogan (“Let’s make hope normal again.”). One of the press releases (the Ukraine anniversary statement attributed to Dr Ellie Chowns MP) is directly corroborated by an official Green Party webpage dated 24 February 2026. The other two by‑election-related items are plausible and consistent with reputable contemporaneous reporting that a Gorton and Denton by‑election is underway and that Green candidate Hannah Spencer is contesting it, but the specific claims about (a) “main tactical voting organisations” urging a Green vote and (b) an Omnisis constituency poll showing Greens leading (with Reform second, Labour third) could not be confirmed from primary sources within the research window; they remain Unverified under the guardrails.

What checked out (1)

• A Green Party press release titled “Statement on the Fourth Anniversary of Russia’s Invasion of Ukraine” exists on the Green Party website dated 24 February 2026 and attributes quoted remarks to Dr Ellie Chowns MP about solidarity with Ukraine and attacks on infrastructure such as the energy grid.

• That “the main tactical voting organisations have today urged voters that the best way to stop Reform in the by-election in Gorton and Denton is to vote for the Green’s Hannah Spencer” (the excerpt does not name the organisations; primary statements from the organisations were not located/confirmed in this research pass).
• That “the first constituency-specific poll for the Gorton and Denton by-election… released by online pollster Omnisis” shows the Greens leading with Reform second and Labour third (a primary Omnisis publication was not found/confirmed; some secondary commentary exists but is not sufficient to verify the poll claim under the stated guardrails).
• That the excerpted page accurately reflects the Green Party website’s ‘Latest Press Releases’ listing and formatting exactly as shown (the snippet appears truncated/corrupted at the top, and only one of the three listed press releases was conclusively matched to an official page in this pass).

Confidence

Medium — High confidence in the verification of the Ukraine-anniversary press release because it is confirmed directly on the official Green Party site with matching date and quotation. Medium-to-low confidence on the by-election tactical-voting and polling assertions because primary-source confirmation (from the organisations and from Omnisis) was not established here; only partial, mixed-quality secondary coverage was found, which is insufficient to mark them Verified or False under the stated guardrails.
