Andy Burnham's plan to bring UK utilities into public control

Andy Burnham, the Greater Manchester mayor, is reportedly planning to bring swathes of UK utilities, including water and energy, back under public control if he becomes prime minister. The decade-long project aims to improve performance and reduce consumer bills, potentially mirroring models in Berlin and Paris. Critics warn of significant taxpayer costs, while Burnham has pledged to adhere to existing borrowing rules and not raise income tax, VAT, or national insurance.

Reform UK's Challenge in Makerfield: Immigration, Environment, and Disenchantment Drive Voters

In England's Makerfield constituency, Reform UK is gaining traction due to voter disenchantment with Labour, driven by issues like immigration and environmental concerns such as flooding and illegal waste dumping. Despite Reform's climate policy skepticism, voters like Stefan Bilski and a pensioner in Bickershaw are considering the party. Reform candidate Robert Kenyon's controversial past statements have not deterred some, like Stephanie Doohan, who prioritize policies. However, Andy Burnham's candidacy for Labour presents a significant challenge, potentially regaining lost votes.
