Congrats @AndyBurnhamGM and @andy4makerfield team on a brilliant result.
Makerfield is a top 20 target for Reform - on paper, it was one of the most friendly seats in the country for them.
If Nigel Farage can’t win Makerfield how can he say Reform can win a General Election?

@owenjonesjourno @lambert83608575 You got utterly trounced
English
@lambert83608575 All you're doing here is disincentivising tactical voting. If Green inclined voters think voting Labour to stop Reform will lead to this sort of response, then they're going to stop doing it. And then you'll instead attack Greens for splitting the vote!
English
Green supporters voted for Andy Burnham, and the Green Party did very little campaigning.
They did so to stop Reform, and to give Burnham the benefit of the doubt.
That should now be repaid.

Our country shouldn't be stuck with the terrible deal the Conservatives and Nigel Farage lumped us with.
It's time to for a bold new deal with Europe, including joining the single market and customs union.

@ShahrarAli It got sold out for an Islamic message instead

I'm quite stunned at how poorly Greens did in Makerfield. 308 electors understood that the Green Party had a unique selling point? What's happened to our core environmental message?

@UKLabour Hopefully they send all of the imported scourge there from now on

Congratulations to Andy Burnham, Labour MP for Makerfield!

@mediawatchinguk @EdwardJDavey They all make a mockery of our democracy ..
None of them are fit to be in No10.
English
@EdwardJDavey No we don’t traitor, we need government to stop blowing our cash on things we don’t want and inact the things we asked you to do ! You lot work for us not the other way round ! Respect democracy! You are all totalitarians wanting to enslave us and are anything but liberal!

Yesterday’s result shows that Reform can be beaten, just as the Liberal Democrats have done in local elections across the country.
But while Labour fight over the keys to No. 10, people are struggling.
We need real change, not more chaos, starting with a new deal with Europe.

@Nigel_Farage Send all the migrants there for Burnham to deal with then.

@campbellclaret Stick to writing porn.. Politically you're a moron.

Have you condemned the 🇷🇺 arson attacks against 🇬🇧 elected PM yet? Have you explained what’s happened to the £5m crypto bung yet?
Nigel Farage MP@Nigel_Farage
710 illegal migrants arrived on Monday, the highest daily figure of the year. Reform will stop this invasion once and for all.

The UK has become respected internationally again because of @Keir_Starmer. We're so lucky to have him representing us. And he's good at explaining the point of resolving global issues, and how they impact on everyone.
Keir Starmer@Keir_Starmer
Big global issues, that have a real impact back at home - that’s what these summits are all about.

@labourpress Labour voted against a national inquiry into Pakistani rape gangs...
Dirty rats, the lot of you behind that red rose. Be gone !
English
Nigel Farage pocketed a £5m “gift” and hid it from the public.
Now he may be lobbying to help keep lining the pockets of his billionaire Thai-based crypto backer.
The stench of this scandal grows by the day.
