@DPJHodges A Labour constituency voted for a Labour Candidate with the added bonus of removing Starmer. Don’t over analyse.

This is a defining moment for Reform. They can look at this result and properly reflect. Or they can do what they usually do - throw their toys out of the pram, scream at everyone about some Uni-Party plot, and pretend they're on course for power when they're palpably not.

@Kevin_Maguire Institutionally misogynistic Labour doesn’t do female leaders while lecturing everyone else on equality.

Next stop 10 Downing Street after Andy Burnham smashed it in Makerfield.
The scale of his victory is a hammer blow for Keir Starmer and Nigel Farage.

@Keir_Starmer @AndyBurnhamGM It’s crazy people still vote for a party that helped muslims rape a quarter million girls
English
Congratulations, @AndyBurnhamGM, Labour’s new MP for Makerfield.
Voters chose Labour’s campaign of hope and optimism over division and hate.

@Keir_Starmer @AndyBurnhamGM Hope is no solution to your policy of allowing countless rapists and murders into the country.

@annaturley Relative poverty isn’t poverty. It’s just an excuse to tax workers.
English
Just to remind some folk that is nothing ‘timid’ about a Labour government lifting half a million kids out of poverty, the biggest uplift of workers rights in a generation, giving millions of people a pay rise, transforming the NHS, nationalising the steel industry & our railways

@JohnSimpsonNews Employing countless paedophiles and hard left bias hasn’t helped.

Let’s not forget why the BBC has to cut back excellent programming. 94% of UK adults use BBC services each month, including tv, radio, iPlayer, and Online. And only 80% pay the licence fee. Is this a kind of shoplifting? Airlifting?

@nowak_paul Bad for the taxpayer, and with no invective to do a good job bad for the customer
English
Two thousand staff coming back in-house.
Good for public servants and good for the tax-payer.
And an important step towards delivering the biggest wave of public sector insourcing the government promised.
We need this approach right across our public services 👍👏

Many of the people who keep our government running- cleaners, caterers, security staff, are outsourced workers. This has meant they can be overlooked and treated differently. This is not fair and we are ending it.

Two white gay men convicted. For adopting a baby boy, sexually and physically abusing and killing him. No protests. No riots. We know why.

@tonypatt2000 You prefer politicians who help cover up rapists huh?

Will be very happy never to see this disgusting human being again!

Just arrived to cast my vote in the by-election. Something Andy Burnham cannot do.

So Zack did nothing wrong. Funny that.
Meanwhile Farage is corrupt as hell and the media are ignoring him.
English
If the press and telly ignore this one as much as they have tried to ignore so many of his other scandals we will know for sure we live in a two tier media country

EXCL: Nigel Farage has been trying to block Bank of England cryptocurrency plan that could be costly for billionaire bankrolling his party. Reform UK leader has said Christopher Harborne wants nothing in exchange for millions donated to party and undeclared £5m personal gift to Farage revealed by Guardian. But Farage used private meeting at Bank to urge governor to drop plans for state-run alternative to digital currency that has made his Thailand-based benefactor one of richest people in world. Cracking tale from @tomburgis theguardian.com/politics/2026/…

@AaronBastani Even if they do win it they will not win the next GE.
English
If Labour can’t win this - and I believe people who’ve told me robust canvassing returns say they will - then we are looking at single figure MPs in a GE.
That’s how badly the Starmer project screwed up.
