@alexwickham If there's decent odds on reform, I will be taking that or laying against him being next pm

NEW: Bookmakers think Andy Burnham will WIN Makerfield and become the next PM
He is now odds-on for both
William Hill:
Labour 4/6 to retain seat
Burnham 5/6 to replace Starmer as next PM

@PolitlcsUK I'm tempted to lay that bet as winning the by election is not a given

🚨 NEW: Andy Burnham is now odds on to become the next Prime Minister of the United Kingdom
English
@MattSingh_ Would they have their own internal polling data to make this decision, I've seen other mrps have it closer
English
Burnham needs to outperform a generic Labour candidate by over 20 points, plus any additional governing party by-election effect. Can he do it?

Current Nowcast Model for Makerfield, following the news that Josh Simons MP is standing down in a bid to get Andy Burnham a seat in Parliament.
English
Under normal circumstances, you wouldn't call this a straightforward by-election hold for a governing party. At all. Question is how big the Burnham effect is?
Kate Ferguson@kateferguson4
Rumour is Josh Simons is giving up his seat for Andy Burnham. Not long to wait to find out…

By-election dynamics always hard to predict. But this was our projection for #Makerfield this morning. @AndyBurnhamGM
will have a fight to win it.

@meganekenyon @TSEofPB By what margins? It does show Burnham is confident I'm himself
English
Should note that in last week's council elections, Reform took 24 of the 25 seats up for grabs on Wigan council (where this by-election will take place).

Josh Simons announces he is standing aside to allow Andy Burnham to run for a Parliamentary seat.

Here is how Makerfield voted in the last General Election.
Not the safest of Labour seats by any means.

🚨Update:
Kemi Badenoch has now SUSPENDED the Leader of Worcestershire Council's Conservative Group after this crazy decision.
Decisive action 👏

Emily Hewertson 🇬🇧 🏴@emilyhewertson
Outraged to hear that the Conservatives on Worcestershire Council have sold their souls by teaming up with the GREENS just to kick Reform out. I would love to know what any "Tory" has in common with a party that advocates for open borders and an extreme wealth tax.

I’m more excited for some of the undercard fights than the actual main event 👀
Anyone else feel the same or is it just me?? 🤔

Supporters of Streeting say "Wes has got the numbers - but things are shifting"
In other news, cabinet ministers are apparently going in to Downing Street TODAY to tell him to go.
And MPs who signed the letter backing the PM earlier in the week are said to have told him last night he has to go.
Situation - fluid.
Kevin Schofield@KevinASchofield
Looking increasingly unlikely that Wes Streeting will challenge Keir Starmer today. Some in his team are not convinced he has the 81 supporters locked in to formally launch a contest. Suspicion that Angela Rayner's announcement this morning that she's been cleared by HMRC is also making Streeting think twice.
English
BREAKING: Supporters of Wes Streeting claim he has the numbers
BUT they say “things are shifting”
They claim MPs who signed the loyalty letter told the PM last night he has to go
They claim cabinet ministers are going in to Downing Street today tell Starmer to go
They claim Darren Jones is telling MPs the PM is going to go

🚨 WATCH: Keir Starmer and Kemi Badenoch have a friendly chat as they arrive for the King's Speech

@packetsniffer99 @GuidoFawkes Who's the other, this is only one I've seen

STARMER LOYALIST LETTER IMPLODES:
MPs complain they have been added without their consent.
Rupa Huq: “Surprised to see my name on this list when I haven’t either signed any letter supporting the PM or called for the PM to go?? Not very courteous of colleagues to put names down without their approval”
English
If Wes Streeting doesn’t launch a leadership challenge in the coming days, he’s just as spineless as the Prime Minister.

@emilyhewertson If the odds were decent id put money on him leading Labour into the next election

Surely even Keir Starmer isn’t delusional enough to think he can cling onto power for another three years when almost 100 MPs from his own party have publicly denounced him.
Surely.
