Beth has a punchy exclusive interview with Andy Burnham for this extra episode of Electoral Dysfunction.
She asks if the Labour candidate in Makerfield is using his by-election bid as a path to Number 10 or whether he would be loyal as an MP and serve in Sir Keir Starmer's cabinet? You might want to watch on YouTube to see his response...
She also asks how Burnham's ideas for the country are different to what we already have in government.
Plus, what does the current Greater Manchester mayor think about Reform UK and leader Nigel Farage's chances in a future mayoral race after the party did so well at the local elections there?
And this race to be an MP isn't just about Burnham - while Beth is in Makerfield, she's interviewing a number of other candidates too, but Reform and Restore UK's candidates weren't available.
For a full list of candidates standing in Makerfield, visit the Electoral Commission website.
