For example, uh genuine planning reform that would have losers as well as winners, or an energy policy that actually accepts that a full throated one hundred
100% drive towards eliminating carbon emissions at the expense of all else is not the right one, and that we need a compromise that brings down the cost of energy.
big issues like that, but hard decisions, then Britain could be very well governed.

He took fifty-five percent of the vote, with Reform UK, the right-wing populist party, quite far behind on thirty-five percent.

Burnham has previously said he's going to challenge Keir Starmer for the Labour leadership, which would also make him Prime Minister.
And in the wake of his convincing victory in this by-election, a growing number of Labour MPs are saying that Burnham needs to take over, preferably as quickly as possible, and that he is the person to turn Labour's fortunes around.

It's predominantly white area, mixed in terms of prosperity, some areas extremely prosperous looking, others struggling.
The sense is that the population of Makerfield is slightly baffled that they've ended up at the middle of this national and international media storm, and also that they will now be very rich.
