Green Party get their first ever British by-election win in Gorton and Denton. Labour in 3rd place after Reform. Labour focused on the threat from Farage, possibly overlooking the crusty greens.
Funnily enough, I lived in Gorton, Manchester for two years in the 1980's. I think it's fair to say that it was 'a bit rough'. At the time, it was a massive Labour stronghold.

Easy to campaign, tough to govern.

Living there in the 80's was just awful. Quite a lot of Manchester improved substantially after the IRA did the city a big favour and blew up the city center in 1996, but the improvements didn't extend that far.
