With Andy Burnham stepping down to become an MP, the Greens are seizing the moment to push a people-and-planet agenda, contrasting sharply with the divisive politics of Reform UK. Coggins, a seasoned councillor with academic and financial expertise, is rallying behind community-focused solutions—better transport, more affordable housing, and revitalized high streets. Backed by the Green Party leader, she’s positioning this as a pivotal race for Manchester’s future, promising hope over hostility and a break from corporate-driven priorities. The election is just weeks away, and Labour’s candidate is expected to announce soon—setting the stage for a fiercely contested, vision-driven showdown.
