As I suspected, Labour fell just short of the 50% mark, but Reform refused to concede even though it was vanishingly unlikely that they would win. In the end they managed to pick up 33% including second preference votes, mainly from Restore and Con voters. #ManchesterElection #UKPolitics

A new poll for the Manchester Mayor election. Looks like the Greens have overtaken Reform, which is nice.
Still a distant second to Labour but the populist parties are now fighting it out to be runner up.
