## Resource

Mark Dolan examines the latest as Nigel Farage vowed to target Makerfield heavily, as Reform polling threatens Andy Burnham’s planned Westminster comeback for Labour. Burnham’s allies see victory as a launchpad against Starmer, whose authority weakened further after Wes Streeting’s resignation. Labour faces a high-stakes by-election, with Reform gains, NEC approval, and internal leadership manoeuvring shaping the contest.
