Gorton and Denton: Voters are "bitterly disappointed" with Labour, but "horrified" by Reform

EMBARGO: Immediate Release

Commenting on the result of the Gorton and Denton by-election, Liberal Democrat Deputy Leader, Daisy Cooper MP said:

“This result shows people are bitterly disappointed with Labour but horrified by the rise of Reform.

“Keir Starmer’s Government has been consumed by the Westminster soap opera instead of delivering on the issues that matter most, tackling the cost of living crisis and fixing the NHS.

“It’s clear people are willing to vote tactically for the party best placed to beat Reform, and across huge swathes of the country that is the Liberal Democrats. We’ve seen that in our record gains in local elections, and we will see it again come the elections in May.”
