Beth has a punchy exclusive interview with Andy Burnham for this extra episode of Electoral Dysfunction.
Saying the quiet bit out loud, Beth asks if Burnham is using this as his path to Number 10 Downing Street or whether he would be loyal as an MP and serve in Keir Starmer’s cabinet? You might want to watch on YouTube to see his response...
She also asks how Burnham's ideas for the country are different to what we already have in government.
Plus, what does the current Mayor of Greater Manchester think about Reform and Nigel Farage’s chances in a future Mayoral race after the party did so well at the local elections there?
And this race to be an MP isn't just about Andy Burnham – whilst Beth is in Makerfield, she’s interviewing a number of other candidates too, but Reform and Restore UK’s candidates weren’t available.
For a full list of candidates standing in Makerfield, visit the Electoral Commission website.
