Background
share close

Our coverage of the General Election and Tatton candidates has now concluded

Tune in to Damian on Friday’s breakfast show and Ian James on the morning show for post-election commentary.

 

The General Election takes place on Thursday 4th July

MIX56 covers a huge part of Cheshire and there’s several parliamentary constituencies within our broadcast patch – meaning that there’s a lot of candidates.

We know our listeners take a great interest in politics, but with such a large area to cover and limited airtime available, we have taken the decision to dedicate our coverage to where our studio is based – Lymm.

Lymm now falls within the Tatton Constituency.  We have invited all  candidates in Tatton  to come in and tell us a little about them and their campaign.

Esther McVey

Conservative

Esther McVey was our guest on Tuesday 25th June.

For clarity, Esther was given a little more airtime as she has been the MP for Tatton since 2017 and has also held ministerial roles within Government.

We also specifically wanted to ask her thoughts on the current “betting saga” that is dominating the news headlines.
