Just that really. As we all have different sources for news I though it would be good to bring together what they are suggesting going forward as the analysis, by the various channels, begins to become available.

Sky seem fairly sure Burnham will take over the Labour Party.

LBC panel are "left awestruck" by Burnham's by-election result calling it an "extraordinary, electric, Titanic result" He has not just won the by-election in Makerfield, he hasn't just squeaked in, he has absolutely stormed it with a majority of around 9,00. An absolute majority of over 50% of the vote in Makerfield.

"A Different Bias" gives the results.

Whatever the party, I am astonished that 16,000 functioning adults decided to cast their vote for a man that declared
" Women only seek abortions so that they can shag other men".
My mother would have offered to wash his mouth out with soap.
