Polls put Restore Britain on 7% to 8%, raising fears it could split the right-of-centre vote and help Labour’s Andy Burnham win.
- With the Makerfield by-election on Thursday, new polling shows Labour's Andy Burnham leading at 46%, ahead of Reform's Robert Kenyon at 41%, while the insurgent Restore Britain party polls at 7%.

- Amid broader tensions, any strategy for 'Uniting the Right' has stalled as the two parties openly clash, with analysts questioning how right-wing factions will overcome divisions before Labour consolidates power.
