Special Episode: The Makerfield Test

Thursday’s by-election results are in, and the UK political landscape has just been thrown into a spin. In this special bonus episode of The Opinion Brief, Luke Tryl, Sophie Stowers, and Louis O'Geran break down Burnham's support, historic turnouts, surprise results in Scotland, and what this means for the future of Sir Keir Starmer, Reform UK, and the Conservative Party. Makerfield turns out: What’s behind that remarkable turnout, and why what drove Andy Burnham’s support? What do the results mean for Reform UK? (and for Restore Britain). The SNP, the Tories, and the role of oil and gas in Scottish politics. What do the results in Aberdeen South and Arbroath and Broughty Ferry tell us? A look ahead to the Greater Manchester mayoral election set for July 30th. ***** Access todays graphs, charts and images: https://www.moreincommon.org.uk/newsletter/the-opinion-brief-podcast/ For more from the podcast: https://linktr.ee/OpinionBriefPod Contact us: [email protected] Read more: https://www.moreincommon.org.uk Hosted on Acast.
