What Andy Burnham's win means for the UK: 'This feels like the start of something'

“Normally, at an election count, it feels like the climax, but now this is just the beginning,” said Guardian journalist Hannah Al-Othman, reporting from the election count in Makerfield as Andy Burnham was declared victorious in his bid to return to Westminster as a Labour MP. Subscribe ► https://www.youtube.com/user/theguardian?sub_confirmation=1 The win sets Burnham on an anticipated course to challenge the leadership of British prime minister, Keir Starmer. Starmer has repeatedly said that he intends to remain in post. Lisa Nandy, the culture secretary and a Burnham ally, said: “That wasn’t just a win, that was an emphatic win … It was an astonishing share of the votes, and I think it shows that you can beat hate and division and anger and despair”. During the campaign, the rightwing party Reform UK had been seen as a potential challenge to Labour’s chances in the seat, which is typically considered a stronghold. Burnham sought to demonstrate how Reform UK can be taken on and beaten, saying after the result: “We must now take this up and put this country back on the right path and bring people back together and get things working properly.” Watch Al-Othman’s report from Makerfield and tap the link to read more ► https://ift.tt/LKsPCB8 #makerfield #andyburnham #keirstarmer #labour #uk #politics #makerfieldbyelection

On the ground in Kramatorsk - how this fortress city has held Russia back

Guardian journalists were just around the corner when a Russian drone hit a residential building in Kramatorsk, in the Donbas region of Ukraine. Subscribe ► https://www.youtube.com/user/theguardian?sub_confirmation=1 Peter Beaumont, a senior international reporter, is on the ground in the “fortress Belt” of eastern Ukraine, where for years a costly defensive strategy has prevented Russia making a major breakthrough to territory further west. Cities such as Kramatorsk form one of the main bulwarks against Russia taking all of the Donbas, and, Ukraine fears, having an easier path to Kyiv. Ukraine’s president, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, has called on Europe and ⁠the US to increase sanctions on Russia’s defence and energy sectors as well as its broader economy to force President Vladimir Putin to end ‌the war. “If Ukraine burns, your Moscow will burn,” Zelenskyy said after overnight Ukrainian drone strikes on the Russian capital. #ukraine #russia #ukrainewar #kramatorsk #donbas
