"As members of the Gorton and Denton Labour Party we've watched as our future has been played by party figures in Westminster. We didn't want any of this to happen, but now it has, all we want is a full voice and a say in who our candidate should be. Let the best come forward to represent our wonderful constituency and brilliant people."
"Let Gorton and Denton not be the first domino in Greater Manchester to fall to Reform and instead the platform for the fight back against national populism. As post holders and activists from across our CLP we demand simply that we decide who our candidate should be. In that way our campaigners will come out and work tirelessly for their candidate in their campaign to win and vanquish Reform."
