    Starmer’s party also faced a challenge from another former Labour MP in the form of Simon Danczuk, who was suspended from the party in 2015 after sending inappropriate messages to a teenager. Danczuk, Rochdale’s MP from 2010 to 2017, was standing for Reform UK, the anti-immigration party founded by Nigel Farage.

    Reform had fewer votes than the Lib Dem’s, that’s barely a challenge.

    Will this seat be up for re-election during the upcoming General Election, or does it get a pass for being so recent?

      It will be up for re-election, so hopefully this grifter won’t be there long.

        Actually the fact that he won’t be there long is why labor wasn’t massively bothered about removing support. Sure it wasn’t great, but it also won’t really make any difference in the long run.
