Summary

We're only a week away from the Makerfield by-election, when voters could choose the next prime minister. If Andy Burnham wins, what happens in the hours and days after he arrives in Westminster? Will he seize the moment and try to challenge Keir Starmer immediately, or wait until he has a plan for running the country? And if he wins, what does it mean for Reform UK's electoral strategy? We also look at Steve Hilton's journey from David Cameron's modernising adviser to the race to be the next governor of California.
