It's the morning after the Makerfield by-election and Andy Burnham's emphatic victory over Reform UK which will see the 'King of the North' march south to Westminster to challenge Keir Starmer for the Labour leadership. Sarah and a slightly sleep-deprived Nigel discuss the result and what happens next.

We also consider a historic victory for the Conservatives in the Aberdeen South by-election, and Nigel gets on his soapbox to launch a campaign for more geeky explanations on TV election coverage.
