@PippaCrerar However, Pip, you fail to mention that he is a bellend.

NEW: Andy Burnham will pledge to deliver “good growth in every postcode” by overseeing a significant transfer of power out of Whitehall to local communities as he sets out his case on Monday for a decade as the UK’s prime minister 👇 theguardian.com/politics/2026/…

@andrewpakes_ @CoopParty ‘Looking forward’ - you need to get a life

Looking forward to Andy’s speech tomorrow. Greater Manchester is also home to the roots of the cooperative movement. Mutual power and shared prosperity for communities, workers & members alongside devolution. An approach we need more of. @CoopParty

@RabnawazA @bevcraig @CllrAhmedAli @JLovecy @CllrAzraAli @manniashraf @Bell2Leslie @JoMidge They won’t take long

And so the doorstep conversations begin for @bevcraig #greatermanchester #mayor #labour #30July

@JakeBenRichards Come back when you’ve reached puberty

The Labour government is committed to fixing the broken asylum system we inherited. That is crystal clear - under Keir Starmer’s leadership, and under Andy Burnham’s from next month. Because it is about Labour values: fairness, security and contribution. We are closing hotels, reducing boat crossings, tackling the asylum backlog, and deporting those who should not be here. @BBCBreakfast

@Hepworthclare She’s a nightmare. No talent just rude and no clue

A very disappointing interview Lucy. I voted for you in the Deputy Leadership election , and I now deeply regret it.

The number of teachers in state funded schools fell by 1900 since July 2024. Kemi was right. Any comment @bphillipsonMP ? You denied it. That means you’ve lied. Resign?

@ukhomeoffice Fancy commenting on this? gbnews.com/news/migrant-c…

New safe and legal routes will open for refugees through community sponsorship, refugee study and work routes. Numbers will start small and be controlled, with strict screening and approved sponsors to ensure the system supports genuine refugees while preventing abuse.

@SkyNews @TrevorPTweets Steve Reed is a twat

"The public do not want a general election." Housing Secretary Steve Reed tells @TrevorPTweets the vast majority of the public don't want an election if Andy Burnham takes over as prime minister. trib.al/YF0V7Sv #TrevorPhillips 📺 Sky 501, Virgin 602

@RabnawazA @bevcraig @CllrAhmedAli @JLovecy @CllrAzraAli @Midgley @Bell2Leslie @crispeater @AnthonyMcCaulDG @AngelaRayner @jreynoldsMP @manniashraf You lost though

Fantastic support for @bevcraig at Ashton-under-Lyne rally this morning Look forward to being on the campaign trail over the next few weeks #forus

@RebCallaghan_ What about free travel for over 60s??

Great to be out in Ashton today campaigning for Bev Craig. Labour’s plan for free bus travel for every 11–18-year-old in Greater Manchester is exactly the kind of practical policy that makes a real difference for families and young people. 🌹 #VoteLabour

@creynolds1975 @RebCallaghan_ They are thick and take the electorate for granted.

@RebCallaghan_ 1st it was vote andy for us now its vote bev for us why are labour scared to put labour on placards all of a sudden is it because they are fucking 🐀🐀🐀🐀

@AngelaRayner @bevcraig @andyburnham @LucyMPowell What a bunch!

Delighted to join @bevcraig today as she launches her campaign to for Mayor - alongside Andy Burnham and Lucy Powell. Bev’s been an incredible Labour leader of Manchester City Council and will make a fantastic mayor for us all. Her ‘Our Pass’ expansion would give free bus travel for all 11-to-18-yr-olds right across GM. 🐝🚌

@RebCallaghan_ Oh Rebecca. Be careful of the company you keep.

A productive evening at Ashton-under-Lyne CLP with Angela Rayner. Good discussions on next year’s local council selections and building momentum behind Bev Craig for the Manchester mayoral campaign. Looking forward to the work ahead! 🌹 #Labour

@bphillipsonMP @educationgovuk However less in post overall since when you arrived in July 2024. Maybe it’s time you took stock and stopped announcing things.

Despite what you've heard this week, we're delivering on our manifesto with over 4,600 teachers recruited into where we need them most – secondaries, special schools and colleges. That's alongside more teachers in training, more rejoining and more staying in our schools.

@Heidi_Labour how do you feel about Northern Trains overnight cancellations and a reduced service due to the weather? As The Boss, have you sanctioned this???

@theresa_may @AtlanticPARTN Gosh! That’s pink!!!!

It was a pleasure to host Angela Merkel this morning at the @AtlanticPARTN. As one of the most influential European political leaders of the past two decades, she has helped shape many of the debates that continue to define Europe today.

@ashcowburn However, we all know she chats shit!

Bridget Phillipson on Radio 4: "Next time you see me Nick, I'll be wearing a t-shirt saying spiteful class warrior because if being a spiteful class warrior means lifting half a million children out of poverty, then I'll be wearing that t-shirt with pride."

@timfarron @Hepworthclare Grow a backbone

Badenoch being needlessly graceless, personally abusive and unpleasant. The Speaker rightly calling it out.

@ChrisWheelerDM Glad you got this on film. Usually he’s never seen anywhere in GM.

@johnadgrady Yet another bellend

This summer is about to get cheaper for families. From the 25th of June to the 1st of September, VAT on children's attractions is dropping from 20 to 5%. And that means saving money on attractions right here in Glasgow East.
