Triggered by the resignation of Labour's Kate Green, the by-election will see nine candidates go to the polls
It's freezing cold, it's almost Christmas and the cost-of-living crisis is rumbling on. So it's understandable many voters in Stretford are seemingly indifferent to Thursday's by-election.
Given his party is defending a 16,417 majority, he will feel pretty confident of getting a seat in Parliament at the third time of asking, having previously unsuccessfully stood in the neighbouring constituency of Altrincham and Sale West in 2017 and 2019. He says his key priorities include supporting children and young people, providing more affordable and social housing and delivering sustainable economic regeneration throughout Trafford.
Estelle Johnston says she's also likely to vote Labour on Thursday. And she also sees the redevelopment of the mall as crucial to Streford's future. "It won't be the Tories though," he says with a smile. "I voted Labour all my life until Tony Blair came in and he turned what was a genuinely socialist party into the new Conservatives. I think the new man [Keir Starmer] is pretty much the same.
