Sir Keir Starmer is under intense pressure to shift Labour to the Left after the Green Party secured a historic by-election victory in Gorton and Denton.
Labour suffered a humiliating result, trailing in third behind Zack Polanski’s Greens and Nigel Farage‘s Reform UK in the previously rock-solid Greater Manchester constituency.
Hannah Spencer, a councillor and plumber, emerged victorious for the Greens with 14,980 votes – a majority of 4,402.
Labour MPs, unions and campaign groups have demanded a change of course from Sir Keir ahead of crucial elections in May, with warnings his days in No 10 could be numbered unless the party’s fortunes improve.
Former Labour deputy leader Angela Rayner said the result should be a ‘wake-up call’ for the party, calling for her colleagues to ‘be braver’ and ‘rededicate’ themselves to ‘a Labour agenda that puts people first’.
Now it’s time to have your say in the Daily Mail’s latest poll – do you think the result spells the end for Sir Keir’s time as Prime Minister?
In yesterday’s poll, Mail readers were asked: ‘Has Prince Harry and Meghan’s tour of Jordan been a success?‘ Out of more than 13,000 votes, some 94 per cent of you said ‘no’ and 6 per cent said ‘yes’.
