Episode Details

Voters across Greater Manchester head to the polls for a historic mayoral election — the first time since the role’s creation in 2017 that a new leader will steer the region’s budget and priorities, from housing and transport to policing. With Andy Burnham’s departure to become Prime Minister, candidates including Labour’s Bev Craig, the Conservatives’ Phil Eckersley, and the Greens’ Geraldine Coggins are racing to convince over two million voters that their vision will best shape the city-region’s future. Stakes are sky-high as each candidate pushes for votes on cost of living, public safety, and development — some touting experience, others promising fresh change. As polls open, all are rallying voters to make their voices heard, calling this the biggest by-election in British history — and the outcome will ripple through every community for years to come.
