The plumber come politician – Hannah Spencer – claims a seismic and historic win for the Greens at the Gorton and Denton by-election but, where does this leave the Keir Starmer project? Sam and Anne examine what this means for the Prime Minister, who will be left soul searching after a massive collapse in their vote within the Manchester suburb. The duo also consider: • Is the Labour vote bleeding from both the left and the right flanks of the party? • Is this truly the end of two-party politics in Britain? • What are the consequences of this result and has the blame game began?
