13:01Now PlayingThe Green Party has won the Gorton and Denton by-election, with Hannah Spencer taking the Greater Manchester seat from Labour in the Greens' first ever Westminster by-election victory.
Labour, which took the seat with more than 50% of the vote in 2024, was pushed into third place behind Reform UK - a result which will increase the pressure on Prime Minister Keir Starmer's leadership.
In an emotional victory speech, local plumber Spencer promised to fight for those who feel "left behind", as she celebrated a majority of more than 4,000.
This is the second by-election since Labour's general election victory in 2024 and the party's second loss to a party with only a handful of sitting MPs.
