Greens Win UK By-Election in Blow to Starmer’s Labour

The Green Party won a special election for a Manchester seat in the House of Commons. Local plumber Hannah Spencer secured 40.7% of the vote in Gorton and Denton, the constituency vacated last month by Andrew Gwynne, who had won the seat with a large majority for Labour in 2024. The result is a blow to Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s governing party. Bloomberg Opinion’s Rosa Prince breaks down the situation. Her opinions are her own. (Source: Bloomberg)
