Conservatives respond to result

PA reports that a spokesman for the Conservative Party, which came a distant fourth in the Gorton and Denton contest, said: “Keir Starmer has killed the Labour Party. In losing one of Labour’s safest seats, in a constituency that has returned Labour MPs for almost a century, Starmer has shown he no longer commands the support of Labour voters and is now a lame duck leader.

 

“This result shows the Labour Government now lacks any support in the country and has no mandate for the terrible policies it is pursuing - increasing the benefits bill, raising taxes, weakening our borders and the Armed Forces.

 

“Only the Conservatives have the experience, the plans and the team to ensure a stronger economy and a stronger country.”
