Summary

Ian Collins reacts as Nigel Farage is framing the Makerfield by-election as a two-horse by-election, urging right-wing voters to back Reform against Andy Burnham. With Labour narrowly ahead, Restore Britain splitting support, and Conservatives rejecting deals, the contest underlines volatile Westminster realignments. Meanwhile, ministers may offer bursaries to benefit-dependent parents, removing financial barriers that deter teenagers from apprenticeships.
