Burnham vs Kenyon in Makerfield
from Manchester News Today | The Daily News Now!
The Makerfield by-election is heating up as Labour’s Andy Burnham, stepping in to replace a departing MP, eyes a potential leadership challenge against Keir Starmer — and could reshape British politics. With fourteen candidates, the race is tight: Burnham leads in polls at 46% against Reform UK’s Robert Kenyon at 41%, within the margin of error. Resurfaced social media posts from Kenyon are stirring controversy, while betting odds favor Labour — but not by much. Voting closes Thursday, June 18th, and the outcome could send shockwaves across the nation. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
