Andy Burnham Wins the Makerfield By-Election: Will Starmer Quit? | Political Frenemies #61

from Political Frenemies · host Political Frenemies

In a special by-election edition of Political Frenemies, former Tory adviser Chris Newton and Lib Dem activist Mathew Hulbert are joined by Lib Dem YouTuber Andy Chandler and former Labour adviser Matt Lloyd to dissect the dramatic Makerfield by-election. Why did Andy Burnham emerge victorious, what does the result mean for Keir Starmer’s leadership, and could Burnham really be on a path to Number 10? The panel also turns its attention north to analyse the Conservatives’ win in Aberdeen South, before Mathew reports back from the Better Transport Conference with the latest on the future of Britain's transport policy. Expect sharp analysis, lively debate, and plenty of political sparring from four commentators who rarely agree on anything.
