  1. Burnham bounce: Labour overtake Reform in polls – The Latest
    By Presented by Lucy Hough with Peter Walker ; produced by Angus Neale ; senior producer Ryan Ramgobin ; executive producer Zoe Hitch

    Labour has overtaken Reform UK this week for the first time since March last year, according to multiple polls. The ‘Burnham bounce’ comes two weeks into Andy Burnham’s tenure in No 10, during which he has made major announcements on the cost of living and localised education to reduce youth unemployment, and an announcement on social care is expected soon. Is this a turning point for the beleaguered Labour government – or simply a honeymoon for the new PM? Lucy Hough speaks to senior political correspondent Peter Walker.
