Green Party wins Gorton and Denton by-election, pushing Labour into third place
Labour, which took the seat with more than 50% of the vote in 2024, came behind Reform UK.
www.bbc.co.ukI’m not able to fetch additional, reliably up-to-the-minute reporting right now, so I can’t confidently confirm the latest headlines beyond what’s already in the results I have.
That said, one widely reported item matching your query is:
Thanet by-election: Green win reported (Cliftonville)
Multiple outlets reported that the Green Party won the Cliftonville (Thanet) by-election, with Green candidate Rob Yates taking about 39% of the vote (reported as 2,068 votes) and beating the Reform UK candidate Marc Rattigan (reported as 1,767 votes, 33%).[1][3]
The by-election was reported to have been triggered after the sitting councillor was jailed for coercive/controlling behaviour, and the result has been framed as a sign of the Greens taking votes from Reform ahead of upcoming local elections.[3][1]
If you tell me the exact by-election name/date you mean (e.g., “Cliftonville, Thanet” vs a different Thanet seat), I can tailor a tighter “latest news” rundown to that specific contest.
