As a result of the government calling a General Election for Thursday 8 June, the parliamentary by-election for the vacant seat of Manchester Gorton has been cancelled. The seat will of course be contested as part of the General Election, with Afzal Khan standing for the Labour Party.
Afzal Khan MEP invites all Whalley Range Labour members to a special event at the British Muslim Heritage Centre on Friday 27th January at 7pm. As well as Afzal himself, the meeting will be attended by Andy Burnham MP who of course is Labour’s candidate for the forthcoming Greater Manchester mayoral election in May. Afzal says “I would like to invite you to come along and discuss with fellow party members how Labour should approach Brexit and what the challenges are for the UK.”
