Council Nous: A Local Elections Special

Coronation Street: Countdown to Makerfield

Nick Luck, Neil Channing and Will Kedjanyi are back with the latest edition of the political betting podcast. It's a Triple by-election super-Thursday, but all eyes are on Makerfield as Andy Burnham edges ever closer to parliament and to No 10. Is a Labour win a foregone conclusion, or is there another twist in the tail. Plus, just how big a part will Restore play, here and beyond, and is there any chance Starmer can cling on to his leadership in 2026. This episode also analyses the scope for a result in either of the Scottish by-elections and casts an eye forward to the likely Manchester mayoral contest.

Does Burnham Go Clear or Jog On?

Nick Luck, Neil Channing and William Kedjanyi join up once again for the popular political betting show, as they ask whether the market strength behind Andy Burnham's candidacy in the Makerfield by election and for the Labour leadership is well founded, or whether the seat's demographics play squarely into the hands of Reform.
