Green Party Wins Gorton and Denton By-Election, Labour Finishes Third

The Green Party's Hannah Spencer won the Gorton and Denton by-election in Greater Manchester with 14,980 votes, marking the party's first victory in a one-off parliamentary election. Labour, led by Prime Minister Keir Starmer, came third with 9,364 votes, while Reform UK secured second place. This result in a historically Labour stronghold highlights increasing fragmentation in the UK's political landscape and challenges the traditional two-party dominance.
