And you're right.

If you look across the pollsters that prompt for them or include them, there's somewhere around 3%, 4% at the moment.

But in an era of fragmented politics, 3% to 4% makes all the difference.

And I just think the...

I can only describe it as what I think will be a meltdown if Andy Burnham comes out on top and the difference between Labour and reform is that restore vote, because it's going to trigger lots of soul searching.

Reform will then start to think, do we have to go further to the right in order to get back that restore vote?

then they risk losing this big bulk of moderate voters or more moderate voters who have powered their rise in the polls.

And this is another... It's another reason why I think this by-election is so important because it's going to teach us about the squeezability, to use a technical term, on the right, but also, as you were just saying, on the left.

Because, again, imagine if...

Andy Burnham just fall short and the green margin is high.

That's going to trigger so much soul searching there about how can you reunite progressives.

So we're going to learn so much, not just about that headline race, but about the underlying dynamics in politics.

The News Agents · Election Special: Is it change or die for Labour? · 8 May 2026 podcast

And taking responsibility is one thing.

But there are an awful lot of Labour councillors who want some change as a result of this.

And is Keir Starmer navigating a path out or...

Or does the problem just get worse and become existential for Labour?

Welcome to the Newsagents.

Yeah, I think there's a lot in that analysis.

I think that the point about Britain having turned into arsonists, I think that was ever thus at local council elections.

You know, you hate the government in power.
