Friday briefing: Burnham passes first test as Labour heads off Greens challenge

The Greens, meanwhile, suffered a setback in the Holborn and St Pancras by‑election, a loss that undermines candidate Zack Polanski’s pledge to pull voters away from Labour. The outcome highlights Labour’s resilience against the Greens’ push.
