Makerfield Said No - Burnham, Bell Ends & Boarding School

For one glorious moment, Makerfield became the centre of the political universe, and what a moment it was.

Jemma and Marina rewind the clock to relive Andy Burnham's emphatic by-election win, celebrate Robert Kenyon's spectacular defeat and ask whether Reform UK's momentum has finally hit a few inconvenient speed bumps. They also marvel at the increasingly surreal Sarah Pochin, wonder what Nigel Farage is plotting next and revel in some truly exceptional online reactions.

Elsewhere, Prince William proves he's just like the rest of us by... sending Prince George to Eton, the Bell End of the Week competition reaches new heights, Cilla returns to play Blind Date with some familiar political faces and Russell Kane serves up this week's pudding.

Politics, pomp, petty nonsense and plenty of laughs. Just another day on The Trawl.
