Ladbrokes make it 20/1 Neville becomes an MP by 2030, with the same price that he succeeds Andy Burnham as the next Mayor of Greater Manchester.

What the expert says...

Gary Neville has charisma, strong local ties, and national recognition which are all qualities that could make him a serious contender should he change his mind. At 20/1, the odds reflect low likelihood but acknowledge the potential intrigue.

Neville’s Political Voice

Back in 2022, Neville ruled out a move into politics despite calling himself a “big Labour supporter” and publicly praising Keir Starmer.

His growing activism, including appearances on political panels and strong commentary on social issues, has led many to speculate whether he could eventually make the leap.

At that time Neville said, "I feel politically motivated but I can do as much for the Labour Party being here today as I can do being an MP". ultimately ruling out a run for MP.

Three years on though that could have changed with Neville's popularity rising in Manchester.
