Labour Reclaims Greater Manchester | Manchester News

Labour’s Bev Craig pulls off a stunning comeback in Greater Manchester, winning with 66% of the vote after second preferences — a massive rebound from Reform UK’s recent gains and a powerful signal Labour can still unite voters across the spectrum. Despite polls showing a tight race and Reform UK’s surge in local elections, their performance here is now being called “massively underwhelming,” as voters turned to Craig as a trusted alternative. The Greens also saw a major boost, doubling their vote share, while turnout dipped to just 25% — blamed on summer holidays and low awareness — making this the largest byelection in British history.
