Newscast · By-Electioncast: Chris Reports Back From Makerfield · 3 Jun 2026 podcast

Very capable, very able.

I think probably could have stood as the MP for the MP in Gorton had she wanted to.

So she's a really strong favourite.

The mayor at Salford is another person who might throw his hat into the ring.

There's always been talk about Gary Neville, but I don't think that will happen this time.

so I think quietly there are some thoughts about that and also I know that some in Labour are concerned that there is a possibility or that theoretically there is a possibility they could end up with a reformed mayor because of the massive swings we saw during the locals but the way I'm not in the weeds of this but the way that the voting system is likely to change before then might make that less likely but so

So, yeah, lots of thoughts going into that.

And my very tired staff may have their third election.

Well, fourth it'll be of the year.

Possibly, yeah.

I know, I know.

It'll be good.

We're actually hosting at the same venue.

We're doing hostings a week later.

So we've got all the candidates agreed for that.

So I've got to give that a plug.

I also want to plug Makefield Gambit, which is our daily newsletter.

It might not make the cut of this, but it's absolutely fantastic, written by Rob Williams, and it's really looking...

in it's from people who are here and will be here afterwards um and it's really interesting look at what's going on um and um i encourage people to sign up but you'd expect me to say that when you have another subscriber within the time it takes me to do exactly that oh it'd be amazing i'd have been in such trouble if i hadn't mentioned it and kevin we've already plugged radio manchester as in-depth coverage of all the candidates and all the issues every hour

Thank you.
