James won the Bury North seat for Labour in 2017. He lost it in 2019 by just 105 votes. 

 

A few weeks ago James won the seat for a second time with a majority of nearly 7000. 

 

So what is going on in Bury and how much of a role, if any, did Reform play in the result? 

 

Why hasn't Bury seen rioting by the hard right when other places have? 

 

And more importantly, will James ever go to Glastonbury again?
