Nigel Faragehas made a last appeal to voters on the Right to come together againstAndy Burnham in Makerfield.
The leader of the Reform party cautioned that today’s by-election will be ‘close’ and ‘no one can predict the outcome’.
A strong warning to those considering backing Restore Britain was issued by Mr Farage, who emphasized that his candidate Rob Kenyon is the sole viable choice to prevent the Greater Manchester Mayor from securing victory.
“It’s clear that if you vote for anyone other than Rob, you’re essentially supporting Labour,” Mr. Farage stated in a social media video.
The MP for Clacton joined Mr. Kenyon to vote in the constituency this morning. Mr. Kenyon, who works as a plumber, transported them to St Aidan’s Parish Centre in Winstanley using his white van.
Polls indicate that Mr. Burnham is likely to win, although some suggest the lead might be narrower as support shifts towards Restore, which is led by former Reform MP Rupert Lowe.
The result, expected in the early hours tomorrow, may determine who will become the next occupant of 10Downing Street.
Mr. Burnham has not concealed his plan to contest for the Labour leadership.
Despite Sir Keir’s promise to continue, supporters of Mr. Burnham are seeking methods to push him out. Most would favor a ‘coronation’ instead of an official leadership election that might bring the Government to a standstill for months.
Senior ministers, such as Ed Miliband, are reportedly prepared to resign if the Prime Minister refuses to step down of their own accord, although there are disagreements regarding the speed at which the coup would be launched.
Intriguingly Mr Burnham met Wes Streeting, another possible candidate for leadership, in Makerfield on Monday.
A source downplayed rumors that they were working together, stating to the Guardian, “no agreements were reached.”
There are concerns that whatever occursLabouris poised to shift towards the Left, with calls for increased tax increases and expenditure.
