Andy Burnham's Westminster Gamble Exposes Labour's Coming Civil War

England's latest by-election result has delivered another warning to the old parties. Reform is still gaining ground, the Conservatives are still sliding, and voters appear to be demanding the kind of radical change Westminster keeps failing to offer.Michael Heaver looks at the wider political mood after Reform rises again in national polling, opening a 10-point lead while Labour, the Conservatives, Greens and Lib Dems all fall back. He then turns to the Westmorland and Furness by-election, where Reform gained a seat from the Conservatives with close to 50% of the vote. The result comes as Kemi Badenoch's leadership faces more criticism, with the Tory brand still moving backwards despite claims of a personal bounce.
