- Two England flags are tied to a lamppost on the way into Hindley on the A58, flying up each time a gust of wind passes by. On a Thursday afternoon, there’s a moody grey sky over Market Street, the town’s main high street, with locals popping in and out of the mix of cafes, shops, and pubs.
It’s not yet rush hour, but Market Street is already heaving with traffic and noise. The town of Hindley, sandwiched between Wigan and Leigh, is part of the Makerfield constituency, in the borough of Wigan.
A seat in Parliament is up for grabs here on June 18 in the Makerfield by-election, which is being watched closely around the country. The election was called after former Labour MP Josh Simons stepped down earlier this month to make way for Andy Burnham to potentially return to Parliament.

- Description
- Andy Burnham is an affable man. As one of the best known politicians in the country, he has celebrity status on the streets of Greater Manchester. He never refuses a selfie, a handshake, a question on policy.
But when Josh Simons resigned his seat to make way for Mr Burnham last week, the media spotlight became more of an intense experience than he has ever known. Scrutiny of his economic policy, his handling of grooming gangs, even his running gear, all came thick and fast.
He’s taken it all in good part - even admitting that his wife and daughter have long insisted that his now famous short shorts are ‘not wildly flattering’ for a man of his age. But a day after his official selection as Labour’s candidate in the Ashton-in-Makerfield by-election, he is deadly serious.
It’s the big issues he is keen to discuss. This by-election, he argues, is completely necessary - not just for constituents but for the country as a whole.

The self-styled King of the North used the launch of his Makerfield by-election campaign to pitch himself, not just as Labour’s next MP - but as the man to drag the party back to its roots and ultimately electoral success.
The Greater Manchester mayor said Labour “need to be better than we have been” and promised to give voters “the party back they used to know”.
It has been suggested that Burnham may not immediately launch a bid for the party leadership if he wins in Makerfield. Speaking today in front of supporters and assembled press Mr Burnham said backing him would be a “vote to change Labour”. His intervention comes after Labour suffered a bruising...

I've joined the Greater Manchester mayor for a morning jog in Makerfield. Pictures of Andy leaving his home for early runs have been plastered across the papers and TV news channels for days after he made his move for Westminster.
I wasn't keen on simply doorstepping him for a chat as he headed out on Thursday (May 21). I went one further and asked if I could accompany him. Andy agreed and before I knew it, it was time.
I was under the impression we'd be running along the relatively flat - and dry - East Lancs Road, hence my white trainers and even whiter socks.
Instead, we're navigating muddy patches and hopping over puddles and ponds along a vast stretch of land that borders Golborne and Makerfield.
