Andy Burnham is looking for a return to Westminster via a by-election in Manchester. Makerfield MP Josh Simons says he'll resign to provide Burnham with the opportunity. And should he win, Burnham is expected to then challenge Keir Starmer for the Labour leadership. So do you back Burnham? How do you feel about stripping off on a summer holiday? A study of 15,000 adults found that 82% feel embarrassed or self‑conscious about their bodies. 17% say they feel stressed at the thought of wearing a swimming costume or trunks. And body embarrassment is keeping one in seven of us away from the beach altogether. And have you named your baby after someone? A baby born on Sir David Attenborough's 100th birthday has been named after him. Ambrose Attenborough Whyte was born just before midnight on the 8th of May. Proud parents Stephen and Lauren from Powys said they wanted to honour Sir David in their own way. Call or WhatsApp 03700 100 110 or Text 8 10 12. Be part of the nation's conversation.
