## Resource

Andy Burnham’s landslide win in the Makerfield by-election sends shockwaves through Labour, as he returns to Parliament after stepping down as mayor — a move seen by many as a quiet leadership challenge to Starmer. Defeating Reform UK by over 9,000 votes, Burnham not only reversed Labour’s decline in the seat but also delivered a stark message: voters chose hope over division. With Starmer congratulating him and Burnham calling for urgent party reform, the result is being hailed as a wake-up call — possibly the last chance to course-correct before it’s too late. Meanwhile, Tories snatched Aberdeen South, while SNP held Arbroath — but all eyes remain fixed on Makerfield and what this means for Labour’s future.
