Andy Burnham must win a tricky by-election before he can challenge the Prime Minister. We hear from the constituency where he plans to run, and from the local ex-Labour council leader whose ward - which he had held since 1982 - went to Reform UK at the local elections. Also today: a report from Cuba as the island runs out of oil. And with reports emerging that film executives panned Ian Fleming's James Bond books in the 1950s, does a good film need a good novel behind it? With Jonny Dymond.
