@AndyBurnhamGM I’m a Labour supporter but this is all utter nonsense. You are being hailed as some kind of saviour, twisting the system to try and get the top spot. You should be supporting your PM, not going against him.

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

@MartinSLewis @positiv07652695 No, what about everyone else? Why just the young ?

Today's Poll: Looked at in isolation, do you support the signing of a UK-EU Youth Mobility Scheme? Eg A time limited right for 18-30s from UK to work in an EU country, and same for those from EU to work in the UK. Vote split by how you voted on Brexit (if you didn't vote, choose the one you most sympathise with)

@implausibleblog Nasty nasty woman. Disgusting thing to say. She can’t seem to keep her mouth shut these days. After watching care workers look after my mum for years, I have nothing but sheer admiration for them. Disgraceful. #ToryScum

Kemi Badenoch takes a swipe at migrant care workers, despite the UK having a shortage of 130,000 care workers, "We need to make sure we are thinking about the next generation, not just who's going to wipe bottoms for us today"

@Conservatives Freedom!!! Seriously!!! you’re the party that took away our freedom to live, travel and work freely in the EU. #BrexitHasFailed #ToryScum

Today’s news is more evidence that Labour hates freedom. This isn’t about people’s health. It’s about social control.

@Telegraph And…???? You really are pathetic. This isn’t news.

I will follow all who Retweet #FaragesRiots #FarageRiot #FarageIsAFanny

To all the Rioters, even those just standing by egging it on, say goodbye to your Spanish holidays! All those who will be identified and convicted will not pass the EU ETIAS Entry System when it comes in. Nor the US ESTA. Hope it was worth it! 😁 #brexit #RiotsinUK

saying 'stop the boats' over and over again as if they don't have human beings in them leads to libraries being torched. if you want someone to blame, blame the right wing media and all those mps who made immigration a dirty word in the last election.

@Conservatives Christ! What a bunch of incompetents! I think Labour will remain in power for a very very long time !

The candidates for the first round of the Conservative leadership election have been confirmed 👇

@implausibleblog Shows how unprofessional, immature and actually downright pathetic the Tories are. It’s such a refreshing change to have ‘grown ups’ in charge!

Kemi Badenoch speaking down to Angela Rayner Demonstrating that she is one very very sore loser

@trussliz @RNC What the hell happened to you??

Great to be at @RNC in Milwaukee seeing President Trump get nominated. The leadership the West needs.

@SuellaBraverman And it continues… the infighting, the lack of professionalism, integrity, honesty & responsibility from the Tories. The public (WHO YOU SERVE!) are not interested !!

Kemi, and the rest of the cabinet, should not have nodded along, as they and Rishi took the party to disaster. The refusal to take responsibility is at the root of our problem. It was not someone else’s fault. gbnews.com/politics/suell…

I’d be interested in knowing whether Kemi thinks I’m having a “very public nervous breakdown”. #honesty #unity #wedontleak

@sweeterEm @BethRigby Idiots
