The Green Party are celebrating victory in Greater Manchester after winning the Gorton and Denton by-election.
Hannah Spencer becomes the party’s 5th MP in Westminster with Green’s leader – Zack Polanski – describing the win as ‘seismic’.
Sir Keir Starmer has vowed to “keep on fighting” despite Labour’s humiliating defeat.
The prime minister faces intense pressure to shift his party to the left or resign after Labour came third behind Nigel Farage’s Reform UK in the previously rock-solid Greater Manchester constituency.
Speaking to reporters, he acknowledged it was a “disappointing” result and that voters were “frustrated”, but insisted he would carry on.
