By

Summary
Andy Burnham won the Makerfield by-election, preventing Reform UK from taking the seat. However, the article criticizes Burnham for what it claims is another lie in his acceptance speech, where he said he always knew he would return to Westminster to complete unfinished business. The piece expresses broader concern about politicians who lie and manipulate, drawing a comparison between Burnham and Keir Starmer, and suggests Burnham is not the reformer he claims to be.

Andy Burnham has won the Makerfield by-election, leaving many in the constituency and beyond breathing a sigh of relief that bigoted, abuse-justifying Reform UK didn't take the seat.
However, this does not mean we are out of woods when it comes to politicians who lie, manipulate, and exploit British people to inflate their own egos and amass power.
