## Resource

Scoop: Keir Starmer thinks he can remain prime minister till 2027, even if Andy Burnham wins in Makerfield...And if Burnham loses, what then? Fear and loathing in Number 10: we have details about the extraordinary levels of anger at the top of government. Makerfield is the most consequential by-election in history. Can Andy Burnham win in this pro-Brexit, anti-establishment seat? He's pitching himself as the anti-politics candidate, while simultaneously plotting his route to Downing Street. And if he does win, what will he do with power? Could he end up as a Keir Starmer in running shorts?
