This week on Stop the Press!, Nick, Rob and Bill round up the biggest stories dominating the UK headlines. They unpack the political fallout from the Makerfield by-election and what it signals for British politics, before debating the growing momentum behind Andy Burnham as the leading contender to become the next Labour leader.

The team also reflects on the end of an era in English cricket as Ben Stokes announces his retirement from England captaincy, discussing his legacy, the impact on the Test side, and who could be next to lead England into a new chapter.

From Westminster to the wicket, it's another lively discussion covering the stories shaping Britain's political and sporting landscape.
