About This Not Official Andy Burnham Website

This parody website celebrates the selfless integrity and unwavering honesty of Andy Burnham. It is based on public reporting. To avoid misrepresenting Andy’s views and deep convictions, anything here should be checked before publication, especially during the campaign. Alternatively, if you think something is incorrect, just wait a couple of days and he will have flip-flopped or backtracked so it will be true.

• Andy Burnham has been confirmed as Labour’s candidate for the Makerfield by-election.
• Polling day has been reported as Thursday 18 June 2026.
• The by-election followed Josh Simons stepping down as MP – not in disgrace but as a principled move because he felt the people of Makerfield deserved a better MP.
• Reform UK selected Robert Kenyon as its candidate. He is a plumber so, unlike the refreshing Hannah Spencer, he cannot possibly be suitable as an MP.
• Much commentary has framed Burnham’s return to Parliament as linked to possible Labour leadership politics.
