Burnham Beats Reform in First Makerfield By Election Poll but Only Just The latest poll in the Makerfield by election has placed Andy Burnham narrowly ahead of Robert Kenyon from Reform UK, with a mere three point margin.
This result is a significant test for Labour's chances of reviving its fortunes in the North.
The contest takes on added interest given last month's local elections, where Reform UK swept every ward in the constituency.
