* Following his suspension from the Labour Party, Simon Danczuk, the MP for Rochdale, is currently sitting as an independent.


** Following Sir Gerald Kaufman's death, the seat of Manchester Gorton is now vacant. There was to be a by-election in the constituency held on the same day as the Manchester Mayoral Election, May 4th, but this was cancelled after the 2017 general election was called.[1]
