Unless Labour does worse than 2019, which is unlikely at the moment, he probably would have lost his seat given the wafer-thin majority.
Not talking about this current surge of polling for Labour, which will drop at some point, either but for a long time now Labour have been outperforming their polling in the seats lost in 2019 so Bury South would have been one of the top targets.
In fact just looked it up. It would be 3rd on their list:

So if you take the national swing only then Labour would (in theory) capture Bury South with a 3 seat gain.
