Labour red-faced, Reform cries foul as Greens claim key UK by-poll - World

Hannah Spencer, a local plumber and Green councillor, won the Gorton and Denton by-election for the Green Party of England and Wales, defeating Labour's 13,000-vote majority. Spencer's victory is significant as it marks a landmark win for the Greens outside London and Brighton, raising questions about Labour's grip on urban, ethnically diverse constituencies. Keir Starmer faces mounting questions over Labour’s campaign strategy after the party’s dramatic 25.3% drop in vote share compared to 2024.
