Episode Details

Greater Manchester voters are set to make history in just hours as they head to the polls for the UK’s first-ever mayoral by-election — a landmark moment in British democracy. With over two million eligible voters, this is the largest by-election ever held in the country, and it’s the first time Andy Burnham won’t be on the ballot, as Labour’s Bev Craig steps in to challenge a field of diverse candidates. Voters also return to a supplementary voting system, giving them two preferences — a change from last time’s first-past-the-post format. The stakes? More than just leadership over transport, housing, and policing — this election reshapes how mayoral races are run across the UK.
