Gorton and Denton to Vote in by-Election that Could Determine Starmer’s Future
Polls show Greens, Labour, and Reform nearly tied with each party close to 30% support, making the by-election a key test for Labour amid internal challenges.
- Campaigning in Gorton and Denton entered its final day as an Opinium constituency poll showed the Greens and Labour tied on 28% with Reform on 27%, splitting the seat geographically.

- The forecasting model expects 37,300 votes, with the Omnisis constituency poll showing a tight three-way split — Green 31%, Reform 30%, Labour 29% — underscoring volatility.
- Diffley warned, `if Labour loses, Starmer would face increased pressure linked to blocking Burnham, and Sarwar may feel vindicated.`
- A Reform victory would increase its MPs in the House of Commons to nine, level with the SNP, and could reshape parliamentary dynamics.
