Emily Maitlis: Andy Burnham could 'beat Reform at their own game' | LBC

Labour and Reform UK have confirmed their candidates to stand in the Makerfield by-election. The announcement comes after a by-election was triggered by Labour MP Josh Simons, who announced he would stand down last week, paving the way for the Manchester Mayor's return to Westminster. Following the announcement, Mr Burnham said he is "proud and humbled" to have been selected as Labour’s candidate for Makerfield. #shellinginflorida #emilymaitlis #andyburnham #keirstarmer #nigelfarage #labour #reform #ukpolitics #manchester #lbc LBC is the home of live debate around news and current affairs in the UK.
