Labour MPs reluctant to campaign in by-election' amid fears of defeat
"Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging. At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story."
"Despondent Labour MPs are reluctant to campaign in the crucial Gorton and Denton by-election because they fear the party could face an embarrassing defeat amid growing concerns over Sir Keir Starmer's leadership. Sir Keir's MPs are under strict instructions to offer their support in the constituency and all of them are expected to campaign at least once in the seat before next months' vote amid growing fears that Reform UK or the Green Party could snatch the historically safe seat."
"I will go once to say I have done it, but I am not filled with enthusiasm to help out in a contest we are going to lose, one Labour MP said. Another added: What's the point? There's not exactly a lot of enthusiasm to knock doors just to save Starmer. I bet he [Starmer] won't go, another MP added. They probably won't even want his face"
The Independent emphasizes on-the-ground reporting across issues from reproductive rights to climate change and Big Tech, investigating topics like Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC and producing documentaries about American women fighting for reproductive rights. The outlet rejects paywalls and solicits donations to fund journalists who report from both sides and remain accessible across the political spectrum. In UK politics, many Labour MPs are despondent and reluctant to campaign in the Gorton and Denton by-election amid fears of an embarrassing defeat and mounting concerns over Sir Keir Starmer's leadership. MPs face instructions to campaign at least once, but enthusiasm remains low, especially after Andy Burnham was blocked from standing.
