By-election expected in Greater Manchester

Aby-election will be held in the constituency of Stretford and Urmston after Labour MP Kate Green announced she would stand down to take on a new role as deputy mayor of Greater Manchester. Green had previously announced she would be retiring as an MP at the next general election, and the party had already selected Andrew Western, leader of Trafford Council, to fight the safe seat, which she held with a majority of more than 16,000 in 2019.
