Elon Musk retweet signals rightwing split that could help Andy Burnham in Makerfield
Elon Musk's retweet of a far-right party, Restore Britain, founded by former Reform MP Rupert Lowe, may fragment right-wing support in the Makerfield byelection, potentially aiding Labour's Andy Burnham. Polls show Burnham slightly ahead of Reform's candidate, Robert Kenyon, as the right-wing split gains traction.
