British Prime Minister Keir Starmer had a difficult time recently. He also faces a new danger from a special election this week.

The special election will happen this Thursday in Gorton and Denton. Labour usually wins here, but this time the party might lose.

Two parties, Reform UK and the Green Party, are strong rivals. Losing to either would show that Starmer is not popular with voters.

Many voters are unhappy with Labour's recent decisions and policies. Some of Starmer's own problems have made things even worse.

This election is very important for Starmer's future as prime minister. A loss could lead to more challenges from inside his own party.
