Is Burnham in trouble in Makerfield?

from The Manchester Briefing from The Mill

In today's episode, Joshi is joined by Mill staff writer Lucy McLaughlin, who has just spent a few days speaking to Makerfield residents, guided by a handy map we have built predicting which wards are most likely to vote Labour and Reform. She found plenty of people who aren't voting, and several who like Burnham but say they will vote for Reform or won't vote at all.We also discuss Joshi's widely-shared essay about the elusive 'Burnhamism' and what the mayor really believes.Join us as a paying member NOW to get Lucy's report from Makerfield and our brand new projection of how different parts of the seat will vote - plus the next editions of our special Burnham Blueprint series. You will also be backing the team who have been covering the mayor for years up close. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
