Labour PANICKING as Reform Surges in Makerfield By-Election
About this episode
June Slater discusses the implications of the Makerfield by-election for Labour and Reform UK.
Political commentator June Slater joins the show to discuss the crucial Makerfield by-election, where Reform UK is hoping to build on recent electoral successes and challenge Labour in one of its traditional strongholds. Drawing on her experience campaigning on the ground, June shares what voters are telling her, the popularity of Reform candidate Robert Lomas, Labour's campaign strategy, and why Andy Burnham's political future could be tied to the result. The conversation explores Labour's declining support, Reform UK's growing presence across northern communities, voter frustration with the political establishment, immigration, local government performance, and what the outcome could mean for Keir Starmer, Andy Burnham, Nigel Farage, and the next General Election. Is Makerfield a warning sign for Labour? Can Reform convert local momentum into parliamentary success? And could Andy Burnham emerge as Labour's future leader?
