@scotttm77 @SangitaMyska You need help, enough of conversing with a moron

@ColinTaylor17 @SangitaMyska No one mentioned Leigh in that tweet you bald half wit, it said Wigan, maybe climb off your sister and put your glasses on.

@weonlyneed11 @elliehodges62 Don’t let the truth get in the way of a good story

@elliehodges62 The clean air zones were actually pushed down from Westminster, during the last (Tory) government, so classic “fake news”

Comments from a resident in Makerfield sent to me.

@scotttm77 @SangitaMyska I’m from Golborne and Golborne is part of the Leigh constituency our MP is Joe Platt , numbnuts

@ColinTaylor17 @SangitaMyska Golborne is in Wigan numbnuts so is Ashton in Makerfield.

@scotttm77 @SangitaMyska Which isn’t in the Makerfield constituency

@ColinTaylor17 @SangitaMyska He lives in Golborne half a mile away…..

@scotttm77 @SangitaMyska He doesn’t live in the Makerfield constituency

@SangitaMyska People completely missing the point it’s where he has lived for 20 years.

@davidyelland @ChrisMasonBBC @AndyBurnhamGM It’s part of Greater Manchester

With exception of @ChrisMasonBBC (Grassington Central) so many of the media elite, southerners the lot of 'em, seem to think Makerfield is in Manchester... irrespective of politics one of @AndyBurnhamGM's successes has been on things like buses, on stuff that escapes the elite entirely.

@AndyBurnhamGM Big mistake

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

@oomidave1 Elizabeth

@ColinTaylor17 Pow or Elizabeth??

Not your everyday pub window view

Mounts bay Cornwall

@HenryPriestman @marcrileydj Rest of the band looked like arts school boys, Paul looked like a bricklayer doing a bit on the side

@marcrileydj Loved the way, back in the day in the music press, he was always called "the great Paul Thompson"

Legend. One of my favourite drummers. 🥁 💥

@WatergateBayAM @domdyer70 @UKLabour I agree , the only reason Labour still controls the council is that not all the seats were up for grabs. The old adage of electing a monkey as long as it wore a Labour rosette is well and truly dead in working class areas

@ColinTaylor17 @domdyer70 @UKLabour Given Wigan’s role in Labour history that is so sad. I can’t imagine that Reform will be the desperate quick fix people think they need?

MP Colonel Alistair Scott Carns, DSO, OBE, MC Military Veteran and Defence Minister Al Carns could be the dark horse to be the next Labour Prime Minister

@WatergateBayAM @domdyer70 My local elections last week in Wigan of the 24 seats 22 Reform 2 Independent @UKLabour are finished.

@ColinTaylor17 @domdyer70 As a dark horse candidate, Angela would be a refreshing change.

@WatergateBayAM @domdyer70 It doesn’t matter who it is they’re fucked

@domdyer70 No. It’s Angela.

@PeterAr98015846 @KickWokeOut @Londonblue_2 @ManCity Three

@KickWokeOut @ColinTaylor17 @Londonblue_2 @ManCity Nice, how many have you missed this season?

Come on @ManCity this isn’t good enough! No way to treat long term supporters. Sort it out.

@PoliticalPics Maybe the grifter Farage should help out as they all piss in the same pot

As reported by the Great Times. Arsenal charging £130k for box at final home game of season. So will Starmer stump up the dosh, or does he get it for free like his suits and glasses and god knows what else?

@PeterAr98015846 @KickWokeOut @Londonblue_2 @ManCity Where’s the loyalty if he doesn’t turn up ?

@KickWokeOut @Londonblue_2 @ManCity Ageist twat no doubt never seen City when they were crap, this gent works away pays his taxes and pays up front for what is now a brand product open to highest bidders such as the epidemic of influencers . He arranges other blues to sit there. Loyalty is a 2 way street .
