Manchester voters head to the polls today to choose a new mayor — a pivotal moment for Labour as they test their strength after Andy Burnham’s historic leap from city hall to No. 10.

With a preferential voting system in place, the outcome could hinge on second-choice ballots. Analysts see this as a make-or-break election for Labour in a traditionally loyal stronghold — and a chance for Burnham to prove his party’s resilience as he leads nationally.
