A new constituency-wide poll of Makerfield circulating internally among Labour staffers, puts Andy Burnham on course for a victory in the crucial by-election.
The poll, reported on by the I paper’s Kitty Donaldson and which is being shared internally among Labour Party staff, shows Burnham leading with 35%, followed by Reform UK on 24% and Restore Britain on 13%.
Rupert Lowe has caused a major headache for Farage, splitting the vote on the right.
It’s among a number of polls in the constituency now pointing to a Burnham victory.
Last week, a poll carried out by Survation, found that Labour were on 49%, an increase of 6 points on the last poll, while Reform were on 39%.
It comes after the Reform candidate, Robert Kenyon, was hit by a number of scandals involving his past social media comments, which expose him for having expressed misogynistic and bigoted views.
Kenyon previously claimed that women “can’t drive” and that they get abortions for “vanity purposes”.
Kenyon also claimed that women primarily rely on abortions so they can “shag anyone they want”.
