Gorton and Denton by-election: ‘A lot wider implications for the UK’

Gavin Lee is happy to welcome fellow journalist Guillaume Gougeon. In his evaluation, what could seem as a routine British by-election in Labour stronghold Gorton and Denton is way extra consequential. Traditionally, by-elections in the UK function barometers of public sentiment towards the federal government in energy. This contest unfolds at a second of political vulnerability for the Prime Minister, following inner controversies and declining nationwide polling numbers.The race has developed right into a three-way contest between Labour, the Greens and Nigel Farage’s Reform UK.
