Gorton

Gorton is a constituency in Greater Manchester, England. The area has been in the news recently due to the upcoming byelection, which was triggered by the resignation of sitting MP Andrew Gwynne. Andy Burnham, the current Mayor of Greater Manchester, was barred from standing as the Labour candidate for the byelection by the party's ruling executive committee, citing a desire to avoid triggering a costly mayoral election in Greater Manchester. This move has sparked controversy and led to speculation about Burnham's future in politics. The byelection is scheduled to take place in the near future, with the Greens planning an all-out fight for victory. The decision by Labour to block Burnham from standing highlights the party's internal power struggles and raises questions about its leadership and direction.
