Residents of a northwest England district are voting Thursday in a special parliamentary election that could help determine the future of beleaguered Prime Minister Keir Starmer.
The by-election in the Gorton and Denton constituency in Greater Manchester is a three-way race between Starmer’s center-left Labour Party, the environmentalist Green Party and the hard-right Reform UK. The area elected Labour lawmakers for almost all of the last century, but Starmer’s government has seen its popularity plunge since it won office in July 2024.
