@GBNEWS I believe everyone needs to fuck off and let Wiganers decide if they want a duplicitous, egotistical wanker like Burnham as their MP.

‘More important to beat Reform than to have a punch-up with Labour.’ Former Labour Adviser Scarlett MccGwire believes Labour needs to unite to support Andy Burnham to win the Makerfield by-election. 📺 Freeview 236, Sky 512, Virgin 604

@MallyB30725 @TheTVGrump You do realise that Makerfield isn't just Ashton don't you? Hindley, Hindley Green, Abraham, Worsley Mesnes etc...is that not Wigan?

‘Andy, we’ve found you a seat!’ ‘ .. but it’s in Wigan’

@LeanneSpurs If the conversations Im having with fellow Wiganers are correct across the board, Labours best player is going to flipping burgers very soon. We don't like being pawns in his egotistical power games.

I would be absolutely furious with Labour if I was from Makerfield - being used as a pawn by Burnham as he tries to become Prime Minister. He'd be the last person I'd vote for.

I am not convinced the people of Makerfield will act as obedient pawns in Burnham's and Simons' career moves.

@AnthonyTeasdale Its weird that we have scousers banging on about Wolls, Mancs about mancs, whilst the constituency he's put himself up for is neither of these. Self absorbed big city types are sycophantic ⚓️ 's

Everyone: "Hmm, could Burnham do it? What about his policies?" Scousers: Endless arguments about whether Burnham is a wool.

@faz42 @numb9rnine @alysdenby Thankyou sir! It wasn't for me to say but Ryan was talking utter shit. Don't bring a knife to a gun fight son.....every day is a school day for wittle Wyan.

@numb9rnine @Bucketyed @alysdenby Its not, its golborne island next one along. Haydock island has been gone for years.

I’m not a Manchester expert like Burnham but even I know there’s nice canals you can jog along, you don’t have to run by a motorway

@AndyBurnhamGM Andy speaks with the warmth of loyalty while sharpening the knife of betrayal behind his back. Every promise is calculated, every kindness transactional — a man so duplicitous he mistakes deception for character.

I can confirm that I will be requesting the permission of the NEC to stand in the Makerfield by-election. I grew up in this area and have lived here for 25 years. I care deeply about it and its people. I know they have been let down by national politics. Ten years ago, I decided to leave Westminster. Why? Because, after 16 years, I came to the conclusion that our national political system does not work for areas like ours. I learnt this fighting its failure to invest in the Wigan borough, for justice for the Hillsborough families and against its treatment of Greater Manchester during the pandemic. Over the last decade, I have been challenging this failure from the outside and building a new and better way of doing politics. We have built Greater Manchester into the fastest-growing city-region in the UK and put buses back under public control, introducing a £2 fare cap to help people with cost-of-living pressures. However, there is only so much that can be done from Greater Manchester. Much bigger change is needed at a national level if everyday life is to be made more affordable again. This is why I now seek people’s support to return to Parliament: to bring the change we have brought to Greater Manchester to the whole of the UK and make politics work properly for people. Millions are struggling and they need the Labour Government to succeed. It has already made changes to make life better for them in its first two years. After this week, we owe it to people to come back together as a Labour movement, giving the Prime Minister and the Government the space and stability they need as the by-election takes place. I want to recognise the difficult decision taken by Josh Simons and the sacrifice he and his family are making. I have worked closely with him as Mayor on issues like flooding and illegal waste dumping and have seen first-hand how effective he has been. He has put the communities of Makerfield first, made a real difference for them and should take great pride in that. Finally, I truly do not take a single vote for granted and will work hard to regain the trust of people in the Makerfield constituency, many of whom have long supported our party but lost faith in recent times. We will change Labour for the better and make it a party you can believe in again. ENDS

@AndyBurnhamGM Did you fuck grow up in Makerfield.......1st lie of the day Andy!

@numb9rnine @alysdenby Its not

@Bucketyed @alysdenby It is.

@leftinista One day, in the very near future.

One day, in the very near future…

@numb9rnine @alysdenby No it's not...laaaaaaaaaaa

@Bucketyed @alysdenby That’s at the roundabout haydock island which is the junction for Ashton in makerfield. You’re talking utter shit.

@ht0707077 @alysdenby I wouldn't like you to measure me a carpet

@Bucketyed @alysdenby His house is literally a 5 minute walk from Ashton 😂

@Carrieh77665603 @AaronBastani Whooosh

@Bucketyed @AaronBastani Hrs always been an Everton fan dope

Burnham wearing a Hafnia Everton shirt? It’s over for Reform.

@TonyBellew @AndyBurnhamGM As a proud Wiganer can I respond by saying NEY!

Give it to @AndyBurnhamGM till end of season!

@lukejcr @joshsimonsmp In other things that didn't happen today....he's despised

First doors knocked in sunny Makerfield with @joshsimonsmp ☀️ Reform won almost all Wigan council seats up for grabs last week. But the message from voters today was crystal clear. Andy Burnham changes the equation. Fact. ✅🌹

@aswren Wiganers are very very different to Mancs...

People in Wigan don’t really think of themselves as Mancunian, some do but not really. The journalists talking about how the ‘Burnham effect’ could overturn a polling lead don’t really know what they’re on about here

@jamie_wallis @SangitaMyska No Wiganer classes themselves as a Mancunian...ever

@SangitaMyska My partner is from Wigan and says it’s both. Wigan including the borough is in Greater Manchester. He proudly identifies and Manchunian and Wiganer!
