Hannah Spencer of the Green Party has won a parliamentary by-election in Gorton and Denton, a former Labour stronghold, securing 40.7% of the vote.

This outcome highlights a shift in UK politics, as the Greens gain traction and challenge the traditional Labour-Conservative duopoly, prompting calls for Labour leader Keir Starmer’s resignation amid growing party difficulties.
