The UK Green Party won its first parliamentary seat in Gorton and Denton, a major blow to Labour.

The UK Green Party won its first parliamentary seat in the Gorton and Denton by-election, defeating Labour and Reform UK. Green candidate Hannah Spencer secured 14,980 votes, a 4,402 majority over Reform UK’s Matthew Goodwin, while Labour’s Angeliki Stogia finished third. The result marks a historic breakthrough for the Greens, signaling growing political fragmentation and a major setback for Prime Minister Keir Starmer, whose leadership faces increased scrutiny amid Labour’s declining popularity, economic concerns, and internal dissent.
