A Reform UK board member has admitted Andy Burnham “has made things very difficult” for the party in the crucial Makerfield by-election, as internal data suggests Nigel Farage’s party is heading for a comfortable defeat.
Gawain Towler, a long-time ally of Reform leader Mr Farage, told Times Radio that Mr Burnham “does change the weather”, adding that it will be a “very, very hard task” beating him in Thursday’s crucial vote.
