NEWSDECK ANALYSIS
The Independent and GB News both report on Andy Burnham's win in the Makerfield by-election, with The Independent framing it as a return to frontline politics for Burnham and a test for Keir Starmer's leadership. GB News, on the other hand, suggests that Burnham's win sets up a potential Labour leadership race and a challenge to Starmer. Both outlets provide similar details on the election results, including turnout and vote shares. The tone of GB News' coverage is more sensational, implying a looming "Labour war" and a potential bid by Burnham for the top job.
