16:07Now PlayingLBC's Natasha Clark visited Makerfield to find out how the people there will cast their vote in the upcoming by-election.
An 'historic' election could determine the fate of Keir Starmer's premiership, with Labour candidate Andy Burnham expressing his desire to become Prime Minister.
The full list of candidates are:
Jake Austin – Liberal Democrats
Count Binface – Count Binface Party
Andy Burnham – Labour and Co-operative Party
Dan Clarke – Libertarian Party
John Alfred Dyer – Independent
Ed Gemmell – Climate Party
Paul Gould – Independent
Howling Laud Hope – The Official Monster Raving Loony Party
Rob Kenyon – Reform UK
Robert Pownall – Independent
Rebecca Shepherd – Restore Britain
Sarah Wakefield – Green Party
Peter Ward – Rejoin EU Bring In PR
Michael Winstanley – The Conservative Party Candidate
Andy Burnham will 'find it easier to talk about cutting welfare than actually doing it' if he becomes Prime Minister, Diane Abbott has insisted, flagging billions of pounds of waste when it comes to defence spending.
The MP for Hackney North and Stoke Newington told LBC's Ben Kentish that she is "a little disappointed" that the Mayor for Greater Manchester has said he will look at slashing welfare spending.
She added that when he has to specify what he's actually going to cut, he will find it a lot harder.
