FT News Briefing · Political Fix: Makerfield or bust: Burnham goes for broke · 14 Jun 2026 podcast

Now we are recording this in a pub in Makerfield where I've been on the ground for two days now trying to take the political temperature ahead of the by-election next week.

It is shaping up to be potentially the most historic by-election in British history.

It could change the course of the country if Labour candidate Andy Burnham wins and successfully challenges Sir Keir Starmer as we know he's planning to do

for the premiership.

And we're just sitting down to record as John Healey, the defence secretary, has sensationally resigned in protest over the financial settlement for Britain's military.

So, so much to discuss here with Jennifer Williams, the FT's Northern England correspondent.

Hi, Jen.

Hi, Lucy.

And Jim Pickard, the FT's deputy political editor.

Hi, Jim.

Hey, Lucy.

So to set the scene first, I should say we are in the Buck's Head pub in Abram in the Makerfield constituency.

So big shout out and thanks to Chris, the landlord, for letting us record here, especially as there is a bingo game going on behind us that you might hear.

We're having a bit of lunch.

Jen, you've fallen prey to stereotype.

You're eating.

I am doing the Andy Bedman special.

Okay, but you're on the orange juice.

I've already had some fish fingers in the pub, but I have procured, for your deletion, Jim, what I'm told is a Wigan pie.

It is a minced steak party pie inside a soft white bap, known locally, I'm told, by Galloway Bakery as a bam.
