About this episode
<p>Overnight in Makerfield, Andy Burnham showed how to win more than fifty percent of the vote on the Labour ticket. It was political smack for his party. A reminder that they still have the electoral chemistry to win decisively in tight races where Reform has stormed in the past.</p><p>Keir Starmer is pretending nothing big has happened - and said Reform were already on the wane. He is refusing to make way for Burnham - who is rather hoping for a coronation rather than a bloody contest. So who will fire the first shot'? And when? Is it just a matter of choreography? Or are things about to get messy?</p><p>The News Agents is a Global Production.</p><p>The News Agents is brought to you by HSBC UK - <a href="https://www.hsbc.co.uk/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.hsbc.co.uk/</a></p>
