‘Within 10 mins, Andy had nicked it’: illustrator on his ubiquitous image of Andy Burnham

With its light scowl and dark attire, Stanley Chow’s creation has become visual shorthand for the politician’s anti-establishment sentiment It was shortly after Andy Burnham’s famously rousing speech outside the Manchester Central Library in October 2020 that Stanley Chow decided to draw him. Or rather his wife did. “It was the pandemic and we were all so down in the dumps at that point,” says the illustrator, speaking from his home in the city this week. But I remember looking around and he had

Andy Burnham has shown that he can win. But can he govern Britain? | Gaby Hinsliff

Having literally campaigned in poetry, the new Makerfield MP needs a summer of knuckling down to the small print By the end, it had become less a byelection, more a mythical quest. Whoever could draw the sword from Makerfield’s stone – or more prosaically, beat Reform in a seat where it practically swept the board in last month’s local elections – would claim the divine right to rule the Labour party. And lo, on Friday morning, Andy Burnham became the chosen one. He carries the magic shield of n

Tory byelection victory gives Badenoch vital evidence to justify abandoning net zero

While the SNP’s recent issues put off some voters, the Tories’ support for North Sea oil drilling proved more decisive For the first time in 50 years, the Conservatives have won a byelection in Scotland, taking Aberdeen South from the Scottish National party and giving Kemi Badenoch one of her most significant achievements as party leader. The win for Douglas Lumsden, which was secured with a 15% swing, giving the Tories a majority of 6,050, provides the party leader with an important piece of e

Boats, bankers and borders: five symbols that sum up Brexit a decade on

What do the touchstones of the referendum debate tell us about the complex legacy of Britain leaving the EU? Ten years ago the UK voted 52% to 48% to leave the European Union, triggering a long and tortuous political process. It took until 1 January 2021 for the country to sever its links to the single market and customs union, but the fractures Brexit left in Britain’s body politic, international relations and economy remain.

Could ‘king in the north’ become Britain’s new prime minister?

Makerfield victory gives Burnham a path back to Westminster and a chance to challenge Starmer for PM Celebrations and a swift exit after a Burnham win ‘beyond our wildest dreams’ “We know no king but the King in the North”, declares the young Lady Lyanna Mormont in the hit HBO series Game of Thrones. In the early hours of Friday morning, in a nondescript conference hall in the north of England, it appeared that the electorate agreed. About 70,000 voters in a post-industrial region of north-wes

‘Now is the change moment’: Burnham avoids press queries but his staff have no doubts

Newly-elected Makerfield MP praises team as he joins them at campaign HQ, celebrating victory ‘beyond our wildest dreams’ There was plenty of the hopey, changey stuff from Andy Burnham at his victory rally on the morning after the night before – but it ended with the new MP for Makerfield doing a runner. “Are you going to become the new prime minister?” shouted Sky’s political editor, Beth Rigby, at the retreating Burnham. “Keir Starmer says he is not going to give way – what’s your message for

The Guardian view on Labour after Makerfield: change must mean more than a new leader | Editorial

Andy Burnham has shown Labour can beat Reform. He must show that his promise of change is a programme, not another slogan for power Andy Burnham’s triumph in the Makerfield byelection leaves the prime minister with only two options: fight openly for the Labour leadership, or leave office cleanly. The former Greater Manchester mayor easily saw off Reform UK’s candidate – winning 55% of the vote to his rightwing rival’s 35%. He won largely because he changed the political meaning of voting Labour

The morning after Andy Burnham secured a landslide byelection victory in Makerfield, returning him to Westminster after nine years as Manchester mayor, it is hard to avoid the large, red placards bearing his face.

In Nigel Farage’s shoes, a less experienced politician might panic

Makerfield shows the challenges Reform is facing, from Restore and tactical voting to questions over that £5m gift As those around Nigel Farage are fond of pointing out, Reform UK has now led in more than 300 consecutive national polls. When it comes to byelections, though, it is fair to say the party’s results are more mixed.

Heathrow third runway GDP yield may be 90% less than original estimate

Department for Transport analysis suggests 0.05% boost will be offset by overall negative trade-off The economic boost from a Heathrow third runway could be a tiny fraction of previous estimates, government analysis shows, while the overall trade-off from the bigger airport could set the UK back by as much as £62.5bn.
