We went to Makerfield to speak to voters about Andy Burnham, his possible route back to Westminster, and whether the much-used “King of the North” label is substance or spin.

With Labour under mounting pressure, Keir Starmer facing criticism over the party’s direction, and questions growing about who could lead Labour next, Burnham’s name is once again firmly in the frame.

Could the Mayor of Greater Manchester become the figure Labour turns to if Starmer falters? Or is there something standing in their way?
