  • Hello, newscast tradition has continued.

  • We have done a live multimedia analysis extravaganza on Friday morning following a by-election.

  • In this case, the by-election was in Gorton and Denton in Greater Manchester,

  • and the big story is that it was won by the Greens.

  • All throughout this campaign, the polls were suggesting it was a three-way battle between Labour,

  • reform, and the Greens.

  • Anyone could have won it, and the Greens won it.

  • quite convincingly.

  • And just a bit of backstory before we dive into the analysis.

  • This was this constituency that became vacant because Andrew Gwynne had been the Labour MP,

  • he was a health minister,

  • he had the party wit withdrawn for a series of offensive WhatsApp messages that emerged and then he retired as an MP on health grounds.
