Summary

Andy Burnham could be just days away from entering Downing Street – but who are the winners and losers from the arrival of a new Prime Minister? Sam Coates and Anne McElvoy examine how Britain’s political landscape could be reshaped and what it means for the main opposition parties: Can Kemi Badenoch turn Labour’s transition into a Tory revival? Will Reform recover following a turbulent few weeks? What are the chances of the Liberal Democrats’ quiet planning making a difference at the next general election? Could a left-leaning PM squeeze the Greens’ vote? The duo break down the biggest opportunities, the major threats, and the new political battlegrounds as British politics enters a new era. The full list of candidates standing for the Manchester Mayoralty can be found here.
