I can see it now. While all the candidates in the Gorton and Denton by election will be busy having a titanic ideological battle for the soul of the nation, the actual winner will be whoever promises to fix all those potholes on Hyde Road.

Here in the U.K. I know exactly who will win the Gorton and Denton by election.

It's whichever of the three parties on the left that stops using the threat of a Reform win as a stick to beat people into voting for them and actually starts campaigning.

The people of Gorton and Denton are many things, but stupid is not one of them.

In Manchester, Labour have selected Whalley Range councillor Angeliki Stagios as candidate for the Gorton and Denton by election.

Apart from anything else, it would be so much fun watching Reform's Matt Goodwin losing to a Greek immigrant.

In the Gorton and Denton by-election here in the U.K., the Workers Party have just announced they are not standing a candidate.

This is really bad news for Reform. Without a third party splitting the progressive vote, their chances of winning just went from slim to remote. Really.

The real truth of it is that, in the Gorton and Denton by-election here in the U.K., Reform have a vanishingly slim chance of winning. Any way you slice it, they just don't have the numbers.

The real battle is between Greens and Labour.

The other battle is to get Greens and Labour to admit that instead of wasting everyone's time with scary stories about Reform.

Gorton and Denton deserves better.
