Episode Details

Bev Craig has crushed it—winning a landslide 66.3% of the vote in Greater Manchester’s mayoral runoff, defeating Reform UK’s Sian Astley and cementing a major Labour comeback after recent local election losses. With just 25% turnout—the lowest since 2017—her victory was sealed by counting second preferences after no candidate hit 50%. A former leader of Manchester City Council, Craig inherits the mantle from Andy Burnham, who stepped down to become Prime Minister after nine years as mayor. Her win signals a powerful mandate to defend the city region and build a better future for all residents, regardless of party allegiance.
