As the polls open in the Makerfield by-election, Camilla Tominey and Tim Stanley speak to Reform UK’s Nigel Farage, who is already publicly managing expectations. Farage claims Reform UK would storm to victory had the Labour Party put forward any other candidate, but fears local loyalty to Andy Burnham might cost them victory. If Reform loses, Farage warns the public will “never forgive” Rupert Lowe and Restore Britain Party for splitting the vote on the right.
Elsewhere, Camilla and Tim discuss England’s 4-2 win in their first World Cup match against Croatia, and expose why only two out of 98 of Andy Burnham’s by-election campaign adverts actually mention Labour at all.
