‘There is no election coming anytime soon’
Prime Minister Andy Burnham has ruled out an early general election, telling Good Morning Britain that the public can ‘put that out of their mind’.
He insisted Britain is beginning to regain its momentum and said improving the UK's relationship with Europe is key to boosting economic growth and controlling migration.

Who will win more seats at the next General Election?
Betting markets would suggest the gap between Reform UK & the Conservatives has closed considerably, although we would still make Reform UK slight favourites in a match bet
Reform UK - 4/5
Conservatives - Evens

Let's take a look at how the betting markets fared in yesterday's Holborn & St Pancras by-election
Labour opened up at 1/3 on 1st September, before touching 4/9 a few days later
They closed at 1/50 and duly delivered 🧵
LAST PLACE FINISH
A competitive market, in the end fought out by the two market favourites
Tom Darwood (Independent), closed at 5/2 and narrowly pipped the 6/4 favourite The Communist League Party
Will @georgegalloway keep his deposit?
We actually laid some money here on YES, having opened at 5/1. This was backed into 11/4 at close of play, with the betting suggesting this could be closer than we initially thought
In the end, a cosy victory for NO backers
Ladbrokes give Labour a 97% chance of winning today's by-election in Holborn & St Pancras 🗳️
But how will @TheGreenParty fare? We have several markets available on their vote share, with the betting suggesting they'll be around the 30% mark
Other markets available include:
- Betting w/o Labour & the Greens
- Last Place Finish
- Vote Match Bets

Labour's polling lead now reaches five points with @YouGov
We're currently 6/4 on them winning the most seats at the next General Election & 4/1 on them securing a Majority
We're also still top price 18/1 on a 2026 General Election... anyone?
Ed Davey is 7/4 with Ladbrokes to be replaced as Lib Dem leader in 2027
We also make him joint 13/8 favourite (alongside Zack Polanski) to be the first party leader replaced
In case you missed it yesterday, my @SpecCoffeeHouse story on the internal strife in the Lib Dems.
