With just 24 hours until polling day, Sam Coates and Anne McElvoy preview three pivotal by-elections that could reshape British politics.

The duo assess the contests in Makerfield, Aberdeen South and Arbroath & Broughty Ferry, exploring:

Plus, is the cabinet starting to forge a path for the future without Keir Starmer?
